2021-09-09pack-write: split up finish_tmp_packfile() functionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+5
Split up the finish_tmp_packfile() function and use the split-up version in pack-objects.c in preparation for moving the step of renaming the *.idx file later as part of a function change. Since the only other caller of finish_tmp_packfile() was in bulk-checkin.c, and it won't be needing a change to its *.idx renaming, provide a thin wrapper for the old function as a static function in that file. If other callers end up needing the simpler version it could be moved back to "pack-write.c" and "pack.h".

2021-04-01pack-write.c: extract 'write_rev_file_order'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+1
Existing callers provide the reverse index code with an array of 'struct pack_idx_entry *'s, which is then sorted by pack order (comparing the offsets of each object within the pack). Prepare for the multi-pack index to write a .rev file by providing a way to write the reverse index without an array of pack_idx_entry (which the MIDX code does not have). Instead, callers can invoke 'write_rev_index_positions()', which takes an array of uint32_t's. The ith entry in this array specifies the ith object's (in index order) position within the pack (in pack order). Expose this new function for use in a later patch, and rewrite the existing write_rev_file() in terms of this new function.

2021-03-01Merge branch 'jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core, inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as ".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as ".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling "fetch-pack" process. * jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs: fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules fetch-pack: with packfile URIs, use index-pack arg http-fetch: allow custom index-pack args http: allow custom index-pack args

Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or "pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check such lines printed. This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check, because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an individual packfile, as it is before this commit).

2021-01-25pack-write.c: prepare to write 'pack-*.rev' filesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+4
This patch prepares for callers to be able to write reverse index files to disk. It adds the necessary machinery to write a format-compliant .rev file from within 'write_rev_file()', which is called from 'finish_tmp_packfile()'. Similar to the process by which the reverse index is computed in memory, these new paths also have to sort a list of objects by their offsets within a packfile. These new paths use a qsort() (as opposed to a radix sort), since our specialized radix sort requires a full revindex_entry struct per object, which is more memory than we need to allocate. The qsort is obviously slower, but the theoretical slowdown would require a repository with a large amount of objects, likely implying that the time spent in, say, pack-objects during a repack would dominate the overall runtime.

2017-05-08Convert the verify_pack callback to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
Make the verify_pack_callback take a pointer to struct object_id. Change the pack checksum to use GIT_MAX_RAWSZ, even though it is not strictly an object ID. Doing so ensures resilience against future hash size changes, and allows us to remove hard-coded assumptions about how big the buffer needs to be. Also, use a union to convert the pointer from nth_packed_object_sha1 to to a pointer to struct object_id. This behavior is compatible with GCC and clang and explicitly sanctioned by C11. The alternatives are to just perform a cast, which would run afoul of strict aliasing rules, but should just work, and changing the pointer into an instance of struct object_id and copying the value. The latter operation could seriously bloat memory usage on fsck, which already uses a lot of memory on some repositories.

2017-03-24pack.h: define largest possible encoded object sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
Several callers use fixed buffers for storing the pack object header, and they've picked 10 as a magic number. This is reasonable, since it handles objects up to 2^67.

2017-03-24encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer lengthLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it might be possible to overflow. In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to see such an object, but we might worry that an object could lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128 available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by the ABI. So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the resulting code easier to audit. Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

2016-07-13fsck: use streaming interface for large blobs in packLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
For blobs, we want to make sure the on-disk data is not corrupted (i.e. can be inflated and produce the expected SHA-1). Blob content is opaque, there's nothing else inside to check for. For really large blobs, we may want to avoid unpacking the entire blob in memory, just to check whether it produces the same SHA-1. On 32-bit systems, we may not have enough virtual address space for such memory allocation. And even on 64-bit where it's not a problem, allocating a lot more memory could result in kicking other parts of systems to swap file, generating lots of I/O and slowing everything down. For this particular operation, not unpacking the blob and letting check_sha1_signature, which supports streaming interface, do the job is sufficient. check_sha1_signature() is not shown in the diff, unfortunately. But if will be called when "data_valid && !data" is false. We will call the callback function "fn" with NULL as "data". The only callback of this function is fsck_obj_buffer(), which does not touch "data" at all if it's a blob.

2013-12-05pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hashLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Our current scheme for naming packfiles is to calculate the sha1 hash of the sorted list of objects contained in the packfile. This gives us a unique name, so we are reasonably sure that two packs with the same name will contain the same objects. It does not, however, tell us that two such packs have the exact same bytes. This makes things awkward if we repack the same set of objects. Due to run-to-run variations, the bytes may not be identical (e.g., changed zlib or git versions, different source object reuse due to new packs in the repository, or even different deltas due to races during a multi-threaded delta search). In theory, this could be helpful to a program that cares that the packfile contains a certain set of objects, but does not care about the particular representation. In practice, no part of git makes use of that, and in many cases it is potentially harmful. For example, if a dumb http client fetches the .idx file, it must be sure to get the exact .pack that matches it. Similarly, a partial transfer of a .pack file cannot be safely resumed, as the actual bytes may have changed. This could also affect a local client which opened the .idx and .pack files, closes the .pack file (due to memory or file descriptor limits), and then re-opens a changed packfile. In all of these cases, git can detect the problem, as we have the sha1 of the bytes themselves in the pack trailer (which we verify on transfer), and the .idx file references the trailer from the matching packfile. But it would be simpler and more efficient to actually get the correct bytes, rather than noticing the problem and having to restart the operation. This patch simply uses the pack trailer sha1 as the pack name. It should be similarly unique, but covers the exact representation of the objects. Other parts of git should not care, as the pack name is returned by pack-objects and is essentially opaque. One test needs to be updated, because it actually corrupts a pack and expects that re-packing the corrupted bytes will use the same name. It won't anymore, but we can easily just use the name that pack-objects hands back. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A pack v2 .idx file usually records offset using 64-bit representation only when the offset does not fit within 31-bit, but you can handcraft your .idx file to record smaller offset using 64-bit, storing all zero in the upper 4-byte. By inspecting the original idx file when running index-pack --verify, encode such low offsets that do not need to be in 64-bit but are encoded using 64-bit just like the original idx file so that we can still validate the pack/idx pair by comparing the idx file recomputed with the original.

Given an existing .pack file and the .idx file that describes it, this new mode of operation reads and re-index the packfile and makes sure the existing .idx file matches the result byte-for-byte. All the objects in the .pack file are validated during this operation as well. Unlike verify-pack, which visits each object described in the .idx file in the SHA-1 order, index-pack efficiently exploits the delta-chain to avoid rebuilding the objects that are used as the base of deltified objects over and over again while validating the objects, resulting in much quicker verification of the .pack file and its .idx file. This version however cannot verify a .pack/.idx pair with a handcrafted v2 index that uses 64-bit offset representation for offsets that would fit within 31-bit. You can create such an .idx file by giving a custom offset to --index-version option to the command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-10-17fix const issues with some functionsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of, and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const pointers. Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first argument is returned since that argument is also marked const. The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers, avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

2007-09-19Refactor index-pack "keep $sha1" handling for reuseLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+1
There is a subtle (but important) linkage between receive-pack and index-pack that allows index-pack to create a packfile but protect it from being deleted by a concurrent `git repack -a -d` operation. The linkage works by having index-pack mark the newly created pack with a ".keep" file and then it passes the SHA-1 name of that new packfile to receive-pack along its stdout channel. The receive-pack process must unkeep the packfile by deleting the .keep file, but can it can only do so after all elgible refs have been updated in the receiving repository. This ensures that the packfile is either kept or its objects are reachable, preventing a concurrent repacker from deleting the packfile before it can determine that its objects are actually needed by the repository. The new builtin-fetch code needs to perform the same actions if it choose to run index-pack rather than unpack-objects, so I am moving this code out to its own function where both receive-pack and fetch-pack are able to invoke it when necessary. The caller is responsible for deleting the returned ".keep" and freeing the path if the returned path is not NULL. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

To that effect, the index_base is renamed to index_data with void * type so it is not used directly but other pointers initialized with it. This allows for a couple pointer cast removal, as well as providing a better generic name to grep for when adding support for new index versions or formats. And index_data is declared const too while at it. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-18Use fixed-size integers for the on-disk pack structure.Libravatar Simon 'corecode' Schubert1-3/+3
Plain integer types without a fixed size can vary between platforms. Even though all common platforms use 32-bit ints, there is no guarantee that this won't change at some point. Furthermore, specifying an integer type with explicit size makes the definition of structures more obvious.

2007-01-17Document pack .idx file format upgrade strategy.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+28
Way back when Junio developed the 64 bit index topic he came up with a means of changing the .idx file format so that older Git clients would recognize that they don't understand the file and refuse to read it, while newer clients could tell the difference between the old-style and new-style .idx files. Unfortunately this wasn't recorded anywhere. This change documents how we might go about changing the .idx file format by using a special signature in the first four bytes. Credit (and possible blame) goes completely to Junio for thinking up this technique. The change also modifies the error message of the current Git code so that users get a recommendation to upgrade their Git software should this version or later encounter a new-style .idx which it cannot process. We already do this for the .pack files, but since we usually process the .idx files first its important that these files are recognized and encourage an upgrade. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-10-22Merge branch 'np/pack'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+0
* np/pack: add the capability for index-pack to read from a stream index-pack: compare only the first 20-bytes of the key. git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset pack-objects: document --delta-base-offset option allow delta data reuse even if base object is a preferred base zap a debug remnant let the GIT native protocol use offsets to delta base when possible make pack data reuse compatible with both delta types make git-pack-objects able to create deltas with offset to base teach git-index-pack about deltas with offset to base teach git-unpack-objects about deltas with offset to base introduce delta objects with offset to base
2006-10-14Revert "move pack creation to version 3"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This reverts commit 16854571aae6302f457c5fbee41ac64669b09595. Git as recent as v1.1.6 do not understand version 3 delta. v1.2.0 is Ok and I personally would say it is old enough, but the improvement between version 2 and version 3 delta is not bit enough to justify breaking older clients. We should resurrect this later, but when we do so we shold make it conditional. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-27make pack data reuse compatible with both delta typesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-3/+0
This is the missing part to git-pack-objects allowing it to reuse delta data to/from any of the two delta types. It can reuse delta from any type, and it outputs base offsets when --allow-delta-base-offset is provided and the base is also included in the pack. Otherwise it outputs base sha1 references just like it always did. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
