2022-03-01refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading of symbolic refsLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+1
Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as a result it is pointless to even ask it for one. There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to not care for the result at all. Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one instead. Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it exists as a non-symbolic reference.

2022-01-17refs: extract packed_refs_delete_refs() to allow control of transactionLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-6/+20
When deleting loose refs, then we also have to delete the refs in the packed backend. This is done by calling `refs_delete_refs()`, which then uses the packed-backend's logic to delete refs. This doesn't allow us to exercise any control over the reference transaction which is being created in the packed backend, which is required in a subsequent commit. Extract a new function `packed_refs_delete_refs()`, which hosts most of the logic to delete refs except for creating the transaction itself. Like this, we can easily create the transaction in the files backend and thus exert more control over it.

2021-08-25refs: make errno output explicit for read_raw_ref_fnLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-4/+4
This makes it explicit how alternative ref backends should report errors in read_raw_ref_fn. read_raw_ref_fn needs to supply a credible errno for a number of cases. These are primarily: 1) The files backend calls read_raw_ref from lock_raw_ref, and uses the resulting error codes to create/remove directories as needed. 2) ENOENT should be translated in a zero OID, optionally with REF_ISBROKEN set, returning the last successfully resolved symref. This is necessary so read_raw_ref("HEAD") on an empty repo returns refs/heads/main (or the default branch du-jour), and we know on which branch to create the first commit. Make this information flow explicit by adding a failure_errno to the signature of read_raw_ref. All errnos from the files backend are still propagated unchanged, even though inspection suggests only ENOTDIR, EISDIR and ENOENT are relevant.

2021-05-20refs: make explicit that ref_iterator_peel returns booleanLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-1/+1
Use -1 as error return value throughout. This removes spurious differences in the GIT_TRACE_REFS output, depending on the ref storage backend active. Before, the cached ref_iterator (but only that iterator!) would return peel_object() output directly. No callers relied on the peel_status values beyond success/failure. All calls to these functions go through peel_iterated_oid(), which returns peel_object() as a fallback, but also squashing the error values. The iteration interface already passes REF_ISSYMREF and REF_ISBROKEN through the flags argument, so the additional error values in enum peel_status provide no value. The ref iteration interface provides a separate peel() function because certain formats (eg. packed-refs and reftable) can store the peeled object next to the tag SHA1. Passing the peeled SHA1 as an optional argument to each_ref_fn maps more naturally to the implementation of ref databases. Changing the code in this way is left for a future refactoring.

2019-08-02pack-refs: always refresh after taking the lock fileLibravatar Sun Chao1-7/+16
When a packed ref is deleted, the whole packed-refs file is rewritten to omit the ref that no longer exists. However if another gc command is running and calls `pack-refs --all` simultaneously, there is a chance that a ref that was just updated lose the newly created commits. Through these steps, losing commits on newly updated refs can be demonstrated: # step 1: compile git without `USE_NSEC` option Some kernel releases do enable it by default while some do not. And if we compile git without `USE_NSEC`, it will be easier demonstrated by the following steps. # step 2: setup a repository and add the first commit git init repo && (cd repo && git config core.logallrefupdates true && git commit --allow-empty -m foo) # step 3: in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly cd repo && while true do git pack-refs --all done # step 4: in another terminal, simultaneously update the # master with update-ref, and create and delete an # unrelated ref also with update-ref cd repo && while true do us=$(git commit-tree -m foo -p HEAD HEAD^{tree}) && git update-ref refs/heads/newbranch $us && git update-ref refs/heads/master $us && git update-ref -d refs/heads/newbranch && them=$(git rev-parse master) && if test "$them" != "$us" then echo >&2 "lost commit: $us" exit 1 fi # eye candy printf . done Though we have the packed-refs lock file and loose refs lock files to avoid updating conflicts, a ref will lost its newly commits if racy stat-validity of `packed-refs` file happens (which is quite same as the racy-git described in `Documentation/technical/racy-git.txt`), the following specific set of operations demonstrates the problem: 1. Call `pack-refs --all` to pack all the loose refs to packed-refs, and let say the modify time of the packed-refs is DATE_M. 2. Call `update-ref` to update a new commit to master while it is already packed. the old value (let us call it OID_A) remains in the packed-refs file and write the new value (let us call it OID_B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master. 3. Call `update-ref -d` within the same DATE_M from the 1th step to delete a different ref newbranch which is packed in the packed-refs file. It check newbranch's oid from packed-refs file without locking it. Meanwhile it keeps a snapshot of the packed-refs file in memory and record the file's attributes with the snapshot. The oid of master in the packed-refs's snapshot is OID_A. 4. Call a new `pack-refs --all` to pack the loose refs, the oid of master in packe-refs file is OID_B, and the loose refs $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master is removed. Let's say the `pack-refs --all` is very quickly done and the new packed-refs file's modify time is still DATE_M, and it has the same file size, even the same inode. 5. 3th step now goes on after checking the newbranch, it begin to rewrite the packed-refs file. After get the lock file of packed-ref file, it checks it's on-disk file attributes with the snapshot, suck as the timestamp, the file size and the inode value. If they are both the same values, and the snapshot is not refreshed. Because the loose ref of master is removed by 4th step, `update-ref -d` will updates the new packed-ref to disk which contains master with the oid OID_A. So now the newly commit OID_B of master is lost. The best path forward is just always refreshing after take the lock file of `packed-refs` file. Traditionally we avoided that because refreshing it implied parsing the whole file. But these days we mmap it, so it really is just an extra open()/mmap() and a quick read of the header. That doesn't seem like an outrageous cost to pay when we're already taking the lock.

2018-08-29convert "oidcmp() != 0" to "!oideq()"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This is the flip side of the previous two patches: checking for a non-zero oidcmp() can be more strictly expressed as inequality. Like those patches, we write "!= 0" in the coccinelle transformation, which covers by isomorphism the more common: if (oidcmp(E1, E2)) As with the previous two patches, this patch can be achieved almost entirely by running "make coccicheck"; the only differences are manual line-wrap fixes to match the original code. There is one thing to note for anybody replicating this, though: coccinelle 1.0.4 seems to miss the case in builtin/tag.c, even though it's basically the same as all the others. Running with 1.0.7 does catch this, so presumably it's just a coccinelle bug that was fixed in the interim. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-03-30refs: use chdir_notify to update cached relative pathsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
Commit f57f37e2e1 (files-backend: remove the use of git_path(), 2017-03-26) introduced a regression when a relative $GIT_DIR is used in a working tree: - when we initialize the ref backend, we make a copy of get_git_dir(), which may be relative - later, we may call setup_work_tree() and chdir to the root of the working tree - further calls to the ref code will use the stored git directory, but relative paths will now point to the wrong place The new test in t1501 demonstrates one such instance (the bug causes us to write the ref update to the nonsense "relative/relative/.git"). Since setup_work_tree() now uses chdir_notify, we can just ask it update our relative paths when necessary.

We don't actually create zero-length `packed-refs` files, but they are valid and we should handle them correctly.

So, if the `packed-refs` file is empty, leave the snapshot at its zero values and return 0 without trying to read or mmap the file.

2017-10-30files-backend: don't rewrite the `packed-refs` file unnecessarilyLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+94
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>
2017-10-16refs: convert read_raw_ref backends to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+2
Convert the unsigned char * parameter to struct object_id * for files_read_raw_ref and packed_read_raw_ref. Update the documentation. Switch from using get_sha1_hex and a hard-coded 40 to using parse_oid_hex. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-10-16refs: convert reflog_expire parameter to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
reflog_expire already used struct object_id internally, but it did not take it as a parameter. Adjust the parameter (and the callers) to pass a pointer to struct object_id instead of a pointer to unsigned char. Remove the temporary inserted earlier as it is no longer required.

2017-10-02use strbuf_addstr() for adding strings to strbufsLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+2
Use strbuf_addstr() instead of strbuf_addf() for adding strings. That's simpler and makes the intent clearer. Patch generated by Coccinelle and contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci; adjusted indentation in refs/packed-backend.c manually.

2017-09-25packed-backend.c: rename a bunch of things and update commentsLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-190/+232
We've made huge changes to this file, and some of the old names and comments are no longer very fitting. So rename a bunch of things: * `struct packed_ref_cache` → `struct snapshot` * `acquire_packed_ref_cache()` → `acquire_snapshot()` * `release_packed_ref_buffer()` → `clear_snapshot_buffer()` * `release_packed_ref_cache()` → `release_snapshot()` * `clear_packed_ref_cache()` → `clear_snapshot()` * `struct packed_ref_entry` → `struct snapshot_record` * `cmp_packed_ref_entries()` → `cmp_packed_ref_records()` * `cmp_entry_to_refname()` → `cmp_record_to_refname()` * `sort_packed_refs()` → `sort_snapshot()` * `read_packed_refs()` → `create_snapshot()` * `validate_packed_ref_cache()` → `validate_snapshot()` * `get_packed_ref_cache()` → `get_snapshot()` * Renamed local variables and struct members accordingly. Also update a bunch of comments to reflect the renaming and the accumulated changes that the code has undergone.

2017-09-25mmapped_ref_iterator: inline into `packed_ref_iterator`Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-170/+114
Since `packed_ref_iterator` is now delegating to `mmapped_ref_iterator` rather than `cache_ref_iterator` to do the heavy lifting, there is no need to keep the two iterators separate. So "inline" `mmapped_ref_iterator` into `packed_ref_iterator`. This removes a bunch of boilerplate.
