2013-08-28write_index: optionally allow broken null sha1sLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+11
Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index, 2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip into the index (or worse, a tree). Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that contain null sha1s already, though. Until 4337b58, a common way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's index-filter to repair such broken entries. That now fails when filter-branch tries to write out the index. Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a history. It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ... to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null sha1s. That would be slightly safer, but requires some specialized knowledge from the user. So let's set the GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out the to-be-filtered trees. Advice on using filter-branch to remove such entries already exists on places like stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on recent versions of git. Further commands that touch the index will still notice and fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries. A filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

2013-07-09Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possibleLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **" to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk changes in the index. The result is - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and builtin/update-index: obvious - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and builtin/checkout.c - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set CE_UPDATE Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes. So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny behind read-cache's back. The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then this: diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h index 430d021..1692891 100644 --- a/cache.h +++ b/cache.h @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ static inline unsigned int canon_mode(unsigned int mode) #define cache_entry_size(len) (offsetof(struct cache_entry,name) + (len) + 1) struct index_state { - struct cache_entry **cache; + const struct cache_entry **cache; unsigned int version; unsigned int cache_nr, cache_alloc, cache_changed; struct string_list *resolve_undo; will help quickly identify them without bogus warnings.

2013-06-20add a stat_validity structLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+30
It can sometimes be useful to know whether a path in the filesystem has been updated without going to the work of opening and re-reading its content. We trust the stat() information on disk already to handle index updates, and we can use the same trick here. This patch introduces a "stat_validity" struct which encapsulates the concept of checking the stat-freshness of a file. It is implemented on top of "struct stat_data" to reuse the logic about which stat entries to trust for a particular platform, but hides the complexity behind two simple functions: check and update.

2013-06-09read-cache: free cache in discard_indexLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+3
discard_cache doesn't have to free the array of cache entries, because the next call of read_cache can simply reuse it, as they all operate on the global variable the_index. discard_index on the other hand does have to free it, because it can be used e.g. with index_state variables on the stack, in which case a missing free would cause an unrecoverable leak. This patch releases the memory and removes a comment that was relevant for discard_cache but has become outdated. Since discard_cache is just a wrapper around discard_index nowadays, we lose the optimization that avoids reallocation of that array within loops of read_cache and discard_cache. That doesn't cause a performance regression for me, however (HEAD = this patch, HEAD^ = master + p0002): Test // HEAD^ HEAD ---------------\\----------------------------------------------------- 0002.1: read_ca// 1000 times 0.62(0.58+0.04) 0.61(0.58+0.02) -1.6% Suggested-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-27name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=trueLibravatar Karsten Blees1-5/+4
With core.ignorecase=true, name-hash.c builds a case insensitive index of all tracked directories. Currently, the existing cache entry structures are added multiple times to the same hashtable (with different name lengths and hash codes). However, there's only one dir_next pointer, which gets completely messed up in case of hash collisions. In the worst case, this causes an endless loop if ce == ce->dir_next (see t7062). Use a separate hashtable and separate structures for the directory index so that each directory entry has its own next pointer. Use reference counting to track which directory entry contains files. There are only slight changes to the name-hash.c API: - new free_name_hash() used by read_cache.c::discard_index() - remove_name_hash() takes an additional index_state parameter - index_name_exists() for a directory (trailing '/') may return a cache entry that has been removed (CE_UNHASHED). This is not a problem as the return value is only used to check if the directory exists (dir.c) or to normalize casing of directory names (read-cache.c). Getting rid of cache_entry.dir_next reduces memory consumption, especially with core.ignorecase=false (which doesn't use that member at all). With core.ignorecase=true, building the directory index is slightly faster as we add / check the parent directory first (instead of going through all directory levels for each file in the index). E.g. with WebKit (~200k files, ~7k dirs), time spent in lazy_init_name_hash is reduced from 176ms to 130ms.

2013-01-22Enable minimal stat checkingLibravatar Robin Rosenberg1-10/+14
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms the resolution of the timestamps may differ. Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index. This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

2012-08-06read_index_from: remove bogus errno assignmentsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+1
These assignments comes from the very first commit e83c516 (Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell - 2005-04-07). Back then we did not die() when errors happened so correct errno was required. Since 5d1a5c0 ([PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status" - 2005-10-01), read_index_from() learned to die rather than just return -1 and these assignments became irrelevant. Remove them. While at it, move die_errno() next to xmmap() call because it's the mmap's error code that we care about. Otherwise if close(fd); fails, it could overwrite mmap's errno.

2012-07-29do not write null sha1s to on-disk indexLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
We should never need to write the null sha1 into an index entry (short of the 1 in 2^160 chance that somebody actually has content that hashes to it). If we attempt to do so, it is much more likely that it is a bug, since we use the null sha1 as a sentinel value to mean "not valid". The presence of null sha1s in the index (which can come from, among other things, "update-index --cacheinfo", or by reading a corrupted tree) can cause problems for later readers, because they cannot distinguish the literal null sha1 from its use a sentinel value. For example, "git diff-files" on such an entry would make it appear as if it is stat-dirty, and until recently, the diff code assumed such an entry meant that we should be diffing a working tree file rather than a blob. Ideally, we would stop such entries from entering even our in-core index. However, we do sometimes legitimately add entries with null sha1s in order to represent these sentinel situations; simply forbidding them in add_index_entry breaks a lot of the existing code. However, we can at least make sure that our in-core sentinel representation never makes it to disk. To be thorough, we will test an attempt to add both a blob and a submodule entry. In the former case, we might run into problems anyway because we will be missing the blob object. But in the latter case, we do not enforce connectivity across gitlink entries, making this our only point of enforcement. The current implementation does not care which type of entry we are seeing, but testing both cases helps future-proof the test suite in case that changes.

It enhances readability, by making it more clear what is a flag, and where the length is stored and make it clear which functions use stages in comparisions and which only use the length.
