2017-11-06refs: tidy up and adjust visibility of the `ref_update` flagsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+45
The constants used for `ref_update::flags` were rather disorganized: * The definitions in `refs.h` were not close to the functions that used them. * Maybe constants were defined in `refs-internal.h`, making them visible to the whole refs module, when in fact they only made sense for the files backend. * Their documentation wasn't very consistent and partly still referred to sha1s rather than oids. * The numerical values followed no rational scheme Fix all of these problems. The main functional improvement is that some constants' visibility is now limited to `files-backend.c`.

We want to make `REF_ISPRUNING` internal to the files backend. For this to be possible, `ref_transaction_add_update()` mustn't know about it.

2017-11-06prune_ref(): call `ref_transaction_add_update()` directlyLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-9/+16
`prune_ref()` needs to use the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag, but we want to make that flag private to the files backend. So instead of calling `ref_transaction_delete()`, which is a public function and therefore shouldn't allow the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag, change `prune_ref()` to call `ref_transaction_add_update()`, which is private to the refs module. (Note that we don't need any of the other services provided by `ref_transaction_delete()`.) This allows us to change `ref_transaction_update()` to reject the `REF_ISPRUNING` flag. Do so by adjusting `REF_TRANSACTION_UPDATE_ALLOWED_FLAGS`. Also add parentheses to its definition to avoid potential future mishaps.

2017-11-06files_transaction_prepare(): don't leak flags to packed transactionLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+2
The files backend uses `ref_update::flags` for several internal flags. But those flags have no meaning to the packed backend. So when adding updates for the packed-refs transaction, only use flags that make sense to the packed backend. `REF_NODEREF` is part of the public interface, and it's logically what we want, so include it. In fact it is actually ignored by the packed backend (which doesn't support symbolic references), but that's its own business.

2017-10-30files-backend: don't rewrite the `packed-refs` file unnecessarilyLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+17
Even when we are deleting references, we needn't overwrite the `packed-refs` file if the references that we are deleting only exist as loose references. Implement this optimization as follows: * Add a function `is_packed_transaction_needed()`, which checks whether a given packed-refs transaction actually needs to be carried out (i.e., it returns false if the transaction obviously wouldn't have any effect). This function must be called while holding the `packed-refs` lock to avoid races. * Change `files_transaction_prepare()` to check whether the packed-refs transaction is actually needed. If not, squelch it, but continue holding the `packed-refs` lock until the end of the transaction to avoid races. This fixes a mild regression caused by dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08). Before that commit, unnecessary rewrites of `packed-refs` were suppressed by `repack_without_refs()`. But the transaction-based writing introduced by that commit didn't perform that optimization. Note that the pre-dc39e09942 code still had to *read* the whole `packed-refs` file to determine that the rewrite could be skipped, so the performance for the cases that the write could be elided was `O(N)` in the number of packed references both before and after dc39e09942. But after that commit the constant factor increased. This commit reimplements the optimization of eliding unnecessary `packed-refs` rewrites. That, plus the fact that since cfa2e29c34 (packed_ref_store: get rid of the `ref_cache` entirely, 2017-03-17) we don't necessarily have to read the whole `packed-refs` file at all, means that deletes of one or a few loose references can now be done with `O(n lg N)` effort, where `n` is the number of loose references being deleted and `N` is the total number of packed references. This commit fixes two tests in t1409. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-10-25files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failureLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
Since dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08), failure to lock a reference has been handled incorrectly by `files_transaction_prepare()`. If `lock_ref_for_update()` fails in the lock-acquisition loop of that function, it sets `ret` then breaks out of that loop. Prior to dc39e09942, that was OK, because the only thing following the loop was the cleanup code. But dc39e09942 added another blurb of code between the loop and the cleanup. That blurb sometimes resets `ret` to zero, making the cleanup code think that the locking was successful. Specifically, whenever * One or more reference deletions have been processed successfully in the lock-acquisition loop. (Processing the first such reference causes a packed-ref transaction to be initialized.) * Then `lock_ref_for_update()` fails for a subsequent reference. Such a failure can happen for a number of reasons, such as the old SHA-1 not being correct, lock contention, etc. This causes a `break` out of the lock-acquisition loop. * The `packed-refs` lock is acquired successfully and `ref_transaction_prepare()` succeeds for the packed-ref transaction. This has the effect of resetting `ret` back to 0, and making the cleanup code think that lock acquisition was successful. In that case, any reference updates that were processed prior to breaking out of the loop would be carried out (loose and packed), but the reference that couldn't be locked and any subsequent references would silently be ignored. This can easily cause data loss if, for example, the user was trying to push a new name for an existing branch while deleting the old name. After the push, the branch could be left unreachable, and could even subsequently be garbage-collected. This problem was noticed in the context of deleting one reference and creating another in a single transaction, when the two references D/F conflict with each other, like git update-ref --stdin <<EOF delete refs/foo create refs/foo/bar HEAD EOF This triggers the above bug because the deletion is processed successfully for `refs/foo`, then the D/F conflict causes `lock_ref_for_update()` to fail when `refs/foo/bar` is processed. In this case the transaction *should* fail, but instead it causes `refs/foo` to be deleted without creating `refs/foo`. This could easily result in data loss. The fix is simple: instead of just breaking out of the loop, jump directly to the cleanup code. This fixes some tests in t1404 that were added in the previous commit.

2017-09-25ref_store: implement `refs_peel_ref()` genericallyLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-38/+0
We're about to stop storing packed refs in a `ref_cache`. That means that the only way we have left to optimize `peel_ref()` is by checking whether the reference being peeled is the one currently being iterated over (in `current_ref_iter`), and if so, using `ref_iterator_peel()`. But this can be done generically; it doesn't have to be implemented per-backend. So implement `refs_peel_ref()` in `refs.c` and remove the `peel_ref()` method from the refs API. This removes the last callers of a couple of functions, so delete them. More cleanup to come...

The prior commit converted many sites to check the return value of write_in_full() for negativity, rather than a mismatch with the input length. This patch covers similar cases, but where the return value is stored in an intermediate variable. These should get the same treatment, but they need to be reviewed more carefully since it would be a bug if the return value is stored in an unsigned type (which indeed, it is in one of the cases).

2017-09-14avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" patternLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11). So checking anything except "was the return value negative" is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do so: 1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant. This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed recently in config.c). We should avoid promoting the mental model that you need to check the length at all, so that new sites are not tempted to copy us. 2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type, especially when the length is an expression. 3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full() users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full() semantics were changed, he wrote: I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and stupid ones. Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that writing it this way does not have an intentional benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly cargo-culted into new sites). So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for write_in_full()). [1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken version of write(), it would already invoke undefined behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

An earlier patch rewrote `split_symref_update()` to add a copy of a string to a string list instead of adding the original string. That was so that the original string could be freed in a later patch, but it is also conceptually cleaner, since now all calls to `string_list_insert()` and `string_list_append()` add `update->refname`. --- Except a literal "HEAD" is added in `split_head_update()`. Restructure `split_head_update()` in the same way as the earlier patch did for `split_symref_update()`. This does not correct any practical problem, but makes things conceptually cleaner. The downside is a call to `string_list_has_string()`, which should be relatively cheap.

2017-09-10refs/files-backend: correct return value in lock_ref_for_updateLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
In one code path we return a literal -1 and not a symbolic constant. The value -1 would be interpreted as TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT, which is wrong. Use TRANSACTION_GENERIC_ERROR instead (that is the only other return value we have to choose from).

2017-09-10refs/files-backend: add longer-scoped copy of string to listLibravatar Martin Ågren1-4/+14
split_symref_update() receives a string-pointer `referent` and adds it to the list of `affected_refnames`. The list simply holds on to the pointers it is given, it does not copy the strings and it does not ever free them. The `referent` string in split_symref_update() belongs to a string buffer in the caller. After we return, the string will be leaked. In the next patch, we want to properly release the string buffer in the caller, but we can't safely do so until we've made sure that `affected_refnames` will not be holding on to a pointer to the string. We could configure the list to handle its own resources, but it would mean some alloc/free-churning. The list is already handling other strings (through other code paths) which we do not need to worry about, and we'd be memory-churning those strings too, completely unnecessary. Observe that split_symref_update() creates a `new_update`-object through ref_transaction_add_update(), after which `new_update->refname` is a copy of `referent`. The difference is, this copy will be freed, and it will be freed *after* `affected_refnames` has been cleared. Rearrange the handling of `referent`, so that we don't add it directly to `affected_refnames`. Instead, first just check whether `referent` exists in the string list, and later add `new_update->refname`.

If the deletion steps unexpectedly fail, it is less bad to leave a reference without its reflog than it is to leave a reflog without its reference, since the latter is an invalid repository state.

2017-09-09files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-31/+101
When processing a `files_ref_store` transaction, it is sometimes necessary to delete some references from the "packed-refs" file. Do that using a reference transaction conducted against the `packed_ref_store`. This change further decouples `files_ref_store` from `packed_ref_store`. It also fixes multiple problems, including the two revealed by test cases added in the previous commit. First, the old code didn't obtain the `packed-refs` lock until `files_transaction_finish()`. This means that a failure to acquire the `packed-refs` lock (e.g., due to contention with another process) wasn't detected until it was too late (problems like this are supposed to be detected in the "prepare" phase). The new code acquires the `packed-refs` lock in `files_transaction_prepare()`, the same stage of the processing when the loose reference locks are being acquired, removing another reason why the "prepare" phase might succeed and the "finish" phase might nevertheless fail. Second, the old code deleted the loose version of a reference before deleting any packed version of the same reference. This left a moment when another process might think that the packed version of the reference is current, which is incorrect. (Even worse, the packed version of the reference can be arbitrarily old, and might even point at an object that has since been garbage-collected.) Third, if a reference deletion fails to acquire the `packed-refs` lock altogether, then the old code might leave the repository in the incorrect state (possibly corrupt) described in the previous paragraph. Now we activate the new "packed-refs" file (sans any references that are being deleted) *before* deleting the corresponding loose references. But we hold the "packed-refs" lock until after the loose references have been finalized, thus preventing a simultaneous "pack-refs" process from packing the loose version of the reference in the time gap, which would otherwise defeat our attempt to delete it.

2017-09-06ref_lock: stop leaking lock_filesLibravatar Jeff King1-23/+16
Since the tempfile code recently relaxed the rule that tempfile structs (and thus locks) need to hang around forever, we no longer have to leak our lock_file structs. In fact, we don't even need to heap-allocate them anymore, since their lifetime can just match that of the surrounding ref_lock (and if we forget to delete a lock, the effect is the same as before: it will eventually go away at program exit). Note that there is a check in unlock_ref() to only rollback a lock file if it has been allocated. We don't need that check anymore; we zero the ref_lock (and thus the lock_file), so at worst we pass a NULL pointer to delete_tempfile(), which considers that a noop.
