2021-09-27refs: add DO_FOR_EACH_OMIT_DANGLING_SYMREFS flagLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+11
When the DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN flag is used, we include both actual corrupt refs (illegal names, missing objects), but also symrefs that point to nothing. This latter is not really a corruption, but just something that may happen normally. For example, the symref at refs/remotes/origin/HEAD may point to a tracking branch which is later deleted. (The local HEAD may also be unborn, of course, but we do not access it through ref iteration). Most callers of for_each_ref() etc, do not care. They don't pass INCLUDE_BROKEN, so don't see it at all. But for those which do pass it, this somewhat-normal state causes extra warnings (e.g., from for-each-ref) or even aborts operations (destructive repacks with GIT_REF_PARANOIA set). This patch just introduces the flag and the mechanism; there are no callers yet (and hence no tests). Two things to note on the implementation: - we actually skip any symref that does not resolve to a ref. This includes ones which point to an invalidly-named ref. You could argue this is a more serious breakage than simple dangling. But the overall effect is the same (we could not follow the symref), as well as the impact on things like REF_PARANOIA (either way, a symref we can't follow won't impact reachability, because we'll see the ref itself during iteration). The underlying resolution function doesn't distinguish these two cases (they both get REF_ISBROKEN). - we change the iterator in refs/files-backend.c where we check INCLUDE_BROKEN. There's a matching spot in refs/packed-backend.c, but we don't know need to do anything there. The packed backend does not support symrefs at all. The resulting set of flags might be a bit easier to follow if we broke this down into "INCLUDE_CORRUPT_REFS" and "INCLUDE_DANGLING_SYMREFS". But there are a few reasons not do so: - adding a new OMIT_DANGLING_SYMREFS flag lets us leave existing callers intact, without changing their behavior (and some of them really do want to see the dangling symrefs; e.g., t5505 has a test which expects us to report when a symref becomes dangling) - they're not actually independent. You cannot say "include dangling symrefs" without also including refs whose objects are not reachable, because dangling symrefs by definition do not have an object. We could tweak the implementation to distinguish this, but in practice nobody wants to ask for that. Adding the OMIT flag keeps the implementation simple and makes sure we don't regress the current behavior.

2021-09-27refs-internal.h: reorganize DO_FOR_EACH_* flag documentationLibravatar Jeff King1-19/+27
The documentation for the DO_FOR_EACH_* flags is sprinkled over the refs-internal.h file. We define the two flags in one spot, and then describe them in more detail far away from there, in the definitions of refs_ref_iterator_begin() and ref_iterator_advance_fn(). Let's try to organize this a bit better: - convert the #defines to an enum. This makes it clear that they are related, and that the enum shows the complete set of flags. - combine all descriptions for each flag in a single spot, next to the flag's definition - use the enum rather than a bare int for functions which take the flags. This helps readers realize which flags can be used. - clarify the mention of flags for ref_iterator_advance_fn(). It does not take flags itself, but is meant to depend on ones set up earlier.

2021-08-25refs: make errno output explicit for read_raw_ref_fnLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys4-30/+34
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.

2021-08-25refs/files-backend: stop setting errno from lock_ref_oid_basicLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-9/+2
refs/files-backend.c::lock_ref_oid_basic() tries to signal how it failed to its callers using errno. It is safe to stop setting errno here, because the callers of this file-scope static function are * files_copy_or_rename_ref() * files_create_symref() * files_reflog_expire() None of them looks at errno after seeing a negative return from lock_ref_oid_basic() to make any decision, and no caller of these three functions looks at errno after they signal a failure by returning a negative value. In particular, * files_copy_or_rename_ref() - here, calls are followed by error() (which performs I/O) or write_ref_to_lockfile() (which calls parse_object() which may perform I/O) * files_create_symref() - here, calls are followed by error() or create_symref_locked() (which performs I/O and does not inspect errno) * files_reflog_expire() - here, calls are followed by error() or refs_reflog_exists() (which calls a function in a vtable that is not documented to use and/or preserve errno) Signed-off-by: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-08-25refs: remove EINVAL errno output from specification of read_raw_ref_fnLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-3/+3
This commit does not change code; it documents the fact that an alternate ref backend does not need to return EINVAL from read_raw_ref_fn to function properly. This is correct, because refs_read_raw_ref is only called from; * resolve_ref_unsafe(), which does not care for the EINVAL errno result. * refs_verify_refname_available(), which does not inspect errno. * files-backend.c, where errno is overwritten on failure. * packed-backend.c (is_packed_transaction_needed), which calls it for the packed ref backend, which never emits EINVAL. A grep for EINVAL */*c reveals that no code checks errno against EINVAL after reading references. In addition, the refs.h file does not mention errno at all. A grep over resolve_ref_unsafe() turned up the following callers that inspect errno: * sequencer.c::print_commit_summary, which uses it for die_errno * lock_ref_oid_basic(), which only treats EISDIR and ENOTDIR specially. The files ref backend does use EINVAL. The files backend does not call into the generic API (refs_read_raw), but into the files-specific function (files_read_raw_ref), which we are not changing in this commit. As the errno sideband is unintuitive and error-prone, remove EINVAL value, as a step towards getting rid of the errno sideband altogether. Spotted by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>.

2021-08-25refs/files: remove unused "errno != ENOTDIR" conditionLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+1
As a follow-up to the preceding commit where we removed the adjacent "errno == EISDIR" condition in the same function, remove the "last_errno != ENOTDIR" condition here. It's not possible for us to hit this condition added in 5b2d8d6f218 (lock_ref_sha1_basic(): improve diagnostics for ref D/F conflicts, 2015-05-11). Since a1c1d8170db (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writes, 2017-10-06) we've explicitly caught these in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() before returning NULL: if (errno != ENOENT && errno != EISDIR && errno != ENOTDIR) return NULL; We'd then always return the refname from refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() even if we were in a broken state as explained in the preceding commit.

2021-08-25refs/files: remove unused "errno == EISDIR" codeLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-25/+3
When we lock a reference like "foo" we need to handle the case where "foo" exists, but is an empty directory. That's what this code added in bc7127ef0f (ref locking: allow 'foo' when 'foo/bar' used to exist but not anymore., 2006-09-30) seems like it should be dealing with. Except it doesn't, and we never take this branch. The reason is that when bc7127ef0f was written this looked like: ref = resolve_ref([...]); if (!ref && errno == EISDIR) { [...] And in resolve_ref() we had this code: fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) return NULL; I.e. we would attempt to read "foo" with open(), which would fail with EISDIR and we'd return NULL. We'd then take this branch, call remove_empty_directories() and continue. Since a1c1d8170d (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writes, 2017-10-06) we don't. E.g. in the case of files_copy_or_rename_ref() our callstack will look something like: [...] -> files_copy_or_rename_ref() -> lock_ref_oid_basic() -> refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() At that point the first (now only) refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() call in lock_ref_oid_basic() would do the equivalent of this in the resulting call to refs_read_raw_ref() in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(): /* Via refs_read_raw_ref() */ fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) /* get errno == EISDIR */ /* later, in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() */ if ([...] && errno != EISDIR) return NULL; [...] /* returns the refs/heads/foo to the caller, even though it's a directory */ return refname; I.e. even though we got an "errno == EISDIR" we won't take this branch, since in cases of EISDIR "resolved" is always non-NULL. I.e. we pretend at this point as though everything's OK and there is no "foo" directory. We then proceed with the entire ref update and don't call remove_empty_directories() until we call commit_ref_update(). See 5387c0d883 (commit_ref(): if there is an empty dir in the way, delete it, 2016-05-05) for the addition of that code, and a1c1d8170db (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writes, 2017-10-06) for the commit that changed the original codepath added in bc7127ef0f to use this "EISDIR" handling. Further historical commentary: Before the two preceding commits the caller in files_reflog_expire() was the only one out of our 4 callers that would pass non-NULL as an oid. We would then set a (now gone) "resolve_flags" to "RESOLVE_REF_READING" and just before that "errno != EISDIR" check do: if (resolve_flags & RESOLVE_REF_READING) return NULL; There may have been some case where this ended up mattering and we couldn't safely make this change before we removed the "oid" parameter, but I don't think there was, see [1] for some discussion on that. In any case, now that we've removed the "oid" parameter in a preceding commit we can be sure that this code is redundant, so let's remove it. 1. http://lore.kernel.org/git/871r801yp6.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-08-25refs/files: remove unused "oid" in lock_ref_oid_basic()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-56/+14
In the preceding commit the last caller that passed a non-NULL OID was changed to pass NULL to lock_ref_oid_basic(). As noted in preceding commits use of this API has been going away (we should use ref transactions, or lock_raw_ref()), so we're unlikely to gain new callers that want to pass the "oid". So let's remove it, doing so means we can remove the "mustexist" condition, and therefore anything except the "flags = RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE" case. Furthermore, since the verify_lock() function we called did most of its work when the "oid" was passed (as "old_oid") we can inline the trivial part of it that remains in its only remaining caller. Without a NULL "oid" passed it was equivalent to calling refs_read_ref_full() followed by oidclr().

2021-08-25reflog expire: don't lock reflogs using previously seen OIDLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+5
During reflog expiry, the cmd_reflog_expire() function first iterates over all reflogs in logs/*, and then one-by-one acquires the lock for each one and expires it. This behavior has been with us since this command was implemented in 4264dc15e1 ("git reflog expire", 2006-12-19). Change this to stop calling lock_ref_oid_basic() with the OID we saw when we looped over the logs, instead have it pass the OID it managed to lock. This mostly mitigates a race condition where e.g. "git gc" will fail in a concurrently updated repository because the branch moved since "git reflog expire --all" was started. I.e. with: error: cannot lock ref '<refname>': ref '<refname>' is at <OID-A> but expected <OID-B> This behavior of passing in an "oid" was needed for an edge-case that I've untangled in this and preceding commits though, namely that we needed this OID because we'd: 1. Lookup the reflog name/OID via dwim_log() 2. With that OID, lock the reflog 3. Later in builtin/reflog.c we use the OID we looked as input to lookup_commit_reference_gently(), assured that it's equal to the OID we got from dwim_log(). We can be sure that this change is safe to make because between dwim_log (step #1) and lock_ref_oid_basic (step #2) there was no other logic relevant to the OID or expiry run in the cmd_reflog_expire() caller. We can thus treat that code as a black box, before and after this change it would get an OID that's been locked, the only difference is that now we mostly won't be failing to get the lock due to the TOCTOU race[0]. That failure was purely an implementation detail in how the "current OID" was looked up, it was divorced from the locking mechanism. What do we mean with "mostly"? It mostly mitigates it because we'll still run into cases where the ref is locked and being updated as we want to expire it, and other git processes wanting to update the refs will in turn race with us as we expire the reflog. That remaining race can in turn be mitigated with the core.filesRefLockTimeout setting, see 4ff0f01cb7 ("refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100ms", 2017-08-21). In practice if that value is high enough we'll probably never have ref updates or reflog expiry failing, since the clients involved will retry for far longer than the time any of those operations could take. See [1] for an initial report of how this impacted "git gc" and a large discussion about this change in early 2019. In particular patch looked good to Michael Haggerty, see his[2]. That message seems to not have made it to the ML archive, its content is quoted in full in my [3]. I'm leaving behind now-unused code the refs API etc. that takes the now-NULL "unused_oid" argument, and other code that can be simplified now that we never have on OID in that context, that'll be cleaned up in subsequent commits, but for now let's narrowly focus on fixing the "git gc" issue. As the modified assert() shows we always pass a NULL oid to reflog_expire() now. Unfortunately this sort of probabilistic contention is hard to turn into a test. I've tested this by running the following three subshells in concurrent terminals: ( rm -rf /tmp/git && git init /tmp/git && while true do head -c 10 /dev/urandom | hexdump >/tmp/git/out && git -C /tmp/git add out && git -C /tmp/git commit -m"out" done ) ( rm -rf /tmp/git-clone && git clone file:///tmp/git /tmp/git-clone && while git -C /tmp/git-clone pull do date done ) ( while git -C /tmp/git-clone reflog expire --all do date done ) Before this change the "reflog expire" would fail really quickly with the "but expected" error noted above. After this change both the "pull" and "reflog expire" will run for a while, but eventually fail because I get unlucky with core.filesRefLockTimeout (the "reflog expire" is in a really tight loop). As noted above that can in turn be mitigated with higher values of core.filesRefLockTimeout than the 100ms default. As noted in the commentary added in the preceding commit there's also the case of branches being racily deleted, that can be tested by adding this to the above: ( while git -C /tmp/git-clone branch topic master && git -C /tmp/git-clone branch -D topic do date done ) With core.filesRefLockTimeout set to 10 seconds (it can probably be a lot lower) I managed to run all four of these concurrently for about an hour, and accumulated ~125k commits, auto-gc's and all, and didn't have a single failure. The loops visibly stall while waiting for the lock, but that's expected and desired behavior. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check_to_time-of-use 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/87tvg7brlm.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ 2. http://lore.kernel.org/git/b870a17d-2103-41b8-3cbc-7389d5fff33a@alum.mit.edu 3. https://lore.kernel.org/git/87pnqkco8v.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This is part of a larger series that modifies lock_ref_oid_basic() extensively, there will be no more modifications of this function in this series, but since the preceding commit removed this unused parameter from lock_ref_oid_basic(), let's do it here too for consistency.

2021-08-25refs/files: remove unused "extras/skip" in lock_ref_oid_basic()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-15/+7
The lock_ref_oid_basic() function has gradually been replaced by use of the file transaction API, there are only 4 remaining callers of it. None of those callers pass non-NULL "extras" and "skip" parameters, the last such caller went away in 92b1551b1d4 (refs: resolve symbolic refs first, 2016-04-25), so let's remove the parameters.

2021-08-25refs: drop unused "flags" parameter to lock_ref_oid_basic()Libravatar Jeff King1-7/+6
In the last commit we removed the REF_DELETING flag from lock_ref_oid_basic(). Since then all of the remaining callers do pass REF_NO_DEREF, but that has been ignored completely since 7a418f3a17 (lock_ref_sha1_basic(): only handle REF_NODEREF mode, 2016-04-22). So we can simply get rid of the parameter entirely.

2021-08-19refs/files: remove unused REF_DELETING in lock_ref_oid_basic()Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+0
The lock_ref_oid_basic() function has gradually been replaced by most callers no longer performing a low-level "acquire lock, update and release", and instead using the ref transaction API. So there are only 4 remaining callers of lock_ref_oid_basic(). None of those callers pass REF_DELETING anymore, the last caller went away in 92b1551b1d (refs: resolve symbolic refs first, 2016-04-25). Before that we'd refactored and moved this code in: - 8df4e511387 (struct ref_update: move "have_old" into "flags", 2015-02-17) - 7bd9bcf372d (refs: split filesystem-based refs code into a new file, 2015-11-09) - 165056b2fc (lock_ref_for_update(): new function, 2016-04-24) We then finally stopped using it in 92b1551b1d (noted above). So let's remove the handling of this parameter. By itself this change doesn't benefit us much, but it's the start of even more removal of unused code in and around this function in subsequent commits.

2021-05-20refs: make explicit that ref_iterator_peel returns booleanLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys3-2/+5
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.

2021-05-11refs: cleanup directories when deleting packed refLibravatar Will Chandler1-6/+6
When deleting a packed ref via 'update-ref -d', a lockfile is made in the directory that would contain the loose copy of that ref, creating any directories in the ref's path that do not exist. When the transaction completes, the lockfile is deleted, but any empty parent directories made when creating the lockfile are left in place. These empty directories are not removed by 'pack-refs' or other housekeeping tasks and will accumulate over time. When deleting a loose ref, we remove all empty parent directories at the end of the transaction. This commit applies the parent directory cleanup logic used when deleting loose refs to packed refs as well.

2021-04-27hash: provide per-algorithm null OIDsLibravatar brian m. carlson2-2/+2
Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros) object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field. Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo. Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to use the null_oid constant.

Similar to the previous commits, avoid peeking into the `struct lock_file`. Use the lock file API instead. Note how we obtain the path to the lock file if `fdopen_lock_file()` failed and that this is not a problem: as documented in lockfile.h, failure to "fdopen" does not roll back the lock file and we're free to, e.g., query it for its path.
