2017-08-26Merge branch 'mh/ref-lock-entry'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a push from a client) used to immediately fail when the reference is already locked---now it waits for a very short while and retries, which can make it succeed if the lock holder was holding it during a read-only operation. * mh/ref-lock-entry: refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100ms
2017-08-23refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100msLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+6
The philosophy of reference locking has been, "if another process is changing a reference, then whatever I'm trying to do to it will probably fail anyway because my old-SHA-1 value is probably no longer current". But this argument falls down if the other process has locked the reference to do something that doesn't actually change the value of the reference, such as `pack-refs` or `reflog expire`. There actually *is* a decent chance that a planned reference update will still be able to go through after the other process has released the lock. So when trying to lock an individual reference (e.g., when creating "refs/heads/master.lock"), if it is already locked, then retry the lock acquisition for approximately 100 ms before giving up. This should eliminate some unnecessary lock conflicts without wasting a lot of time. Add a configuration setting, `core.filesRefLockTimeout`, to allow this setting to be tweaked. Note: the function `get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()` cannot be private to the files backend because it is also used by `write_pseudoref()` and `delete_pseudoref()`, which are defined in `refs.c` so that they can be used by other reference backends.

2017-06-23packed_ref_store: make class into a subclass of `ref_store`Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+1
Add the infrastructure to make `packed_ref_store` implement `ref_store`, at least formally (few of the methods are actually implemented yet). Change the functions in its interface to take `ref_store *` arguments. Change `files_ref_store` to store a pointer to `ref_store *` and to call functions via the virtual `ref_store` interface where possible. This also means that a few `packed_ref_store` functions can become static. This is a work in progress. Some more `ref_store` methods will soon be implemented (e.g., those having to do with reference transactions). But some of them will never be implemented (e.g., those having to do with symrefs or reflogs). Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-06-23packed-backend: new module for handling packed referencesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+9
Now that the interface between `files_ref_store` and `packed_ref_store` is relatively narrow, move the latter into a new module, "refs/packed-backend.h" and "refs/packed-backend.c". It still doesn't quite implement the `ref_store` interface, but it will soon. This commit moves code around and adjusts its visibility, but doesn't change anything.

2017-05-23ref_transaction_prepare(): new optional step for reference updatesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-10/+35
In the future, compound reference stores will sometimes need to modify references in two different reference stores at the same time, meaning that a single logical reference transaction might have to be implemented as two internal sub-transactions. They won't want to call `ref_transaction_commit()` for the two sub-transactions one after the other, because that wouldn't be atomic (the first commit could succeed and the second one fail). Instead, they will want to prepare both sub-transactions (i.e., obtain any necessary locks and do any pre-checks), and only if both prepare steps succeed, then commit both sub-transactions. Start preparing for that day by adding a new, optional `ref_transaction_prepare()` step to the reference transaction sequence, which obtains the locks and does any prechecks, reporting any errors that occur. Also add a `ref_transaction_abort()` function that can be used to abort a sub-transaction even if it has already been prepared. That is on the side of the public-facing API. On the side of the `ref_store` VTABLE, get rid of `transaction_commit` and instead add methods `transaction_prepare`, `transaction_finish`, and `transaction_abort`. A `ref_transaction_commit()` now basically calls methods `transaction_prepare` then `transaction_finish`.

2017-05-23ref_store: take a `msg` parameter when deleting referencesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
Just because the files backend can't retain reflogs for deleted references is no reason that they shouldn't be supported by the virtual method interface. Also, `delete_ref()` and `refs_delete_ref()` have already gained `msg` parameters. Now let's add them to `delete_refs()` and `refs_delete_refs()`.

2017-05-23ref_iterator_begin_fn(): fix docstringLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-3/+4
The iterator returned by this function only includes references whose names start with the whole prefix, not all of those in `find_containing_dir(prefix)` as the old docstring claimed. This docstring was probably copy-pasted from old ref-cache code, which had the old specification. But now, `cache_ref_iterator_begin()` (from which the files reference iterator gets its values) automatically wraps its output using `prefix_ref_iterator_begin()` when necessary, so it has the stricter behavior.

2017-04-14files-backend: replace submodule_allowed check in files_downcast()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+8
files-backend.c is unlearning submodules. Instead of having a specific check for submodules to see what operation is allowed, files backend now takes a set of flags at init. Each operation will check if the required flags is present before performing. For now we have four flags: read, write and odb access. Main ref store has all flags, obviously, while submodule stores are read-only and have access to odb (*). The "main" flag stays because many functions in the backend calls frontend ones without a ref store, so these functions always target the main ref store. Ideally the flag should be gone after ref-store-aware api is in place and used by backends. (*) Submodule code needs for_each_ref. Try take REF_STORE_ODB flag out. At least t3404 would fail. The "have access to odb" in submodule is a bit hacky since we don't know from he whether add_submodule_odb() has been called.

2017-03-27refs: move submodule code out of files-backend.cLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+4
files-backend is now initialized with a $GIT_DIR. Converting a submodule path to where real submodule gitdir is located is done in get_ref_store(). This gives a slight performance improvement for submodules since we don't convert submodule path to gitdir at every backend call like before. We pay that once at ref-store creation. More cleanup in files_downcast() and files_assert_main_repository() follows shortly. It's separate to keep noises from this patch.

2017-02-13read_loose_refs(): read refs using resolve_ref_recursively()Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+5
There is no need to call read_ref_full() or resolve_gitlink_ref() from read_loose_refs(), because we already have a ref_store object in hand. So we can call resolve_ref_recursively() ourselves. Happily, this unifies the code for the submodule vs. non-submodule cases. This requires resolve_ref_recursively() to be exposed to the refs subsystem, though not to non-refs code.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-2/+0
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2017-01-07files_transaction_commit(): clean up empty directoriesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+9
When deleting/pruning references, remove any directories that are made empty by the deletion of loose references or of reflogs. Otherwise such empty directories can survive forever and accumulate over time. (Even 'pack-refs', which is smart enough to remove the parent directories of loose references that it prunes, leaves directories that were already empty.) And now that files_transaction_commit() takes care of deleting the parent directories of loose references that it prunes, we don't have to do that in prune_ref() anymore. This change would be unwise if the *creation* of these directories could race with our deletion of them. But the earlier changes in this patch series made the creation paths robust against races, so now it is safe to tidy them up more aggressively.
