We have several callers like
if (active_cache_changed && write_locked_index(...))
handle_error();
rollback_lock_file(...);
where the final rollback is needed because "!active_cache_changed"
shortcuts the if-expression. There are also a few variants of this,
including some if-else constructs that make it more clear when the
explicit rollback is really needed.
Teach `write_locked_index()` to take a new flag SKIP_IF_UNCHANGED and
simplify the callers. Leave the most complicated of the callers (in
builtin/update-index.c) unchanged. Rewriting it to use this new flag
would end up duplicating logic.
We could have made the new flag behave the other way round
("FORCE_WRITE"), but that could break existing users behind their backs.
Let's take the more conservative approach. We can still migrate existing
callers to use our new flag. Later we might even be able to flip the
default, possibly without entirely ignoring the risk to in-flight or
out-of-tree topics.

Many codepaths did not diagnose write failures correctly when disks
go full, due to their misuse of write_in_full() helper function,
which have been corrected.
* jk/write-in-full-fix:
read_pack_header: handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result
config: flip return value of store_write_*()
notes-merge: use ssize_t for write_in_full() return value
pkt-line: check write_in_full() errors against "< 0"
convert less-trivial versions of "write_in_full() != len"
avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern
get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0
config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) < len" pattern
|
|
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.

These two configuration variables are described in the documentation
to take an expiry period expressed in the number of days:
gc.rerereResolved::
Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
The default is 60 days.
gc.rerereUnresolved::
Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
The default is 15 days.
There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate"
expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never".
Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous
step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more
generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do
so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three
cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it
is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an
error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work
correctly without using the return value, though.
In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an
integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and
when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of
the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter.
But this will do for now.

The two configuration variables, gc.rerereResolved and
gc.rerereUnresolved, are measured in days and are passed as such
into the prune_one() helper function, which worked in time_t to see
if an entry in the rerere database is past its expiry.
Instead, have the caller turn the number of days into the expiry
timestamp. Further, use timestamp_t instead of time_t. This will
make it possible to extend the way the configuration variable is
spelled by using date.c::parse_expiry_date() that gives the expiry
timestamp in timestamp_t.

Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to
prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to
die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody
else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to
die upon failure.
This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile
API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().
Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop
translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with
this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is
intended with this patch.

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:
- diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an
opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is
just before the program exits and nobody should care.
- builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
updates and they are OK.
- builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose
and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.
- wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks
silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with
callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

"git rerere" can encounter two or more files with the same conflict
signature that have to be resolved in different ways, but there was

Because conflicts with the same contents inside conflict blocks
enclosed by "<<<<<<<" and ">>>>>>>" can now have multiple variants
to help three-way merge to adjust to the differences outside the
conflict blocks, "rerere forget $path" needs to be taught that there
may be multiple recorded resolutions that share the same conflict
hash (which groups the conflicts with "the same contents inside
conflict blocks"), among which there are some that would not be
relevant to the conflict we are looking at. These "other variants"
that happen to share the same conflict hash should not be cleared,
and the variant that would apply to the current conflict may not be
the zero-th one (which is the only one that is cleared by the
current code).
After finding the conflict hash, iterate over the existing variants
and try to resolve the conflict using each of them to find the one
that "cleanly" resolves the current conflict. That is the one we
want to forget and record the preimage for, so that the user can
record the corrected resolution.

The merge() helper function is given an existing rerere ID (i.e. the
name of the .git/rr-cache/* subdirectory, and the variant number)
that identifies one <preimage, postimage> pair, try to see if the
conflicted state in the given path can be resolved by using the pair,
and if this succeeds, then update the conflicted path with the
result in the working tree.
To implement rerere_forget() in the multiple variant world, we'd
need a helper to do the "see if a <preimage, postimage> pair cleanly
resolves a conflicted state we have in-core" part, without actually
touching any file in the working tree, in order to identify which
variant(s) to remove. Split the logic to do so into a separate
helper function try_merge() out of merge().

This enables the multiple-variant support for real. Multiple
conflicts of the same shape can have differences in contexts where
they appear, interfering the replaying of recorded resolution of one
conflict to another, and in such a case, their resolutions are
recorded as different variants under the same conflict ID.
We still need to adjust garbage collection codepaths for this
change, but the basic "replay" functionality is functional with
this change.

The shape of the conflict in a path determines the conflict ID. The
preimage and postimage pair that was recorded for the conflict ID
previously may or may not replay well for the conflict we just saw.
Currently, we punt when the previous resolution does not cleanly
replay, but ideally we should then be able to record the currently
conflicted path by assigning a new 'variant', and then record the
resolution the user is going to make.
Introduce a mechanism to have more than one variant for a given
conflict ID; we do not actually assign any variant other than 0th
variant yet at this step.

We record the preimage only when there is no directory to record the
conflict we encountered, i.e. when $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID does not
exist. As the plan is to allow multiple <preimage,postimage> pairs
as variants for the same conflict ID eventually, this logic needs to
go.
As the first step in that direction, stop the "did we create the
directory? Then we record the preimage" logic. Instead, we record
if a preimage does not exist when we saw a conflict in a path. Also
make sure that we remove a stale postimage, which most likely is
totally unrelated to the resolution of this new conflict, when we
create a new preimage under $ID when $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID already
exists.
In later patches, we will further update this logic to be "do we
have <preimage,postimage> pair that cleanly resolve the current
conflicts? If not, record a new preimage as a new variant", but
that does not happen at this stage yet.

If by some accident there is only $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID directory
existed, we wouldn't have recorded a preimage for a conflict that
is newly encountered, which would mean after a manual resolution,
we wouldn't have recorded it by storing the postimage, because the
logic used to be "if there is no rr-cache/$ID directory, then we are
the first so record the preimage". Instead, record preimage if we
do not have one.
In addition, if there is only $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID/postimage
without corresponding preimage, we would have tried to call into
merge() and punted.
These would have been a situation frustratingly hard to recover
from.

The plan is to keep assigning the backward compatible conflict ID
based on the hash of the (normalized) text of conflicts, keep using
that conflict ID as the directory name under $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/, but
allow each conflicted path to use a separate "variant" to record
resolutions, i.e. having more than one <preimage,postimage> pairs
under $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID/ directory. As the first step in that
direction, separate the shared "conflict ID" out of the rerere_id
structure.
The plan is to keep information per $ID in rerere_dir, that can be
shared among rerere_id that is per conflicted path.
When we are done with rerere(), which can be directly called from
other programs like "git apply", "git commit" and "git merge", the
shared rerere_dir structures can be freed entirely, so they are not
reference-counted and they are not freed when we release rerere_id's
that reference them.

There's a bug in builtin/am.c in which we take a lock on
MERGE_RR recursively. But rather than fix am.c, this patch
fixes the confusing interface from rerere.c that caused the
bug. Read on for the gory details.
The setup_rerere() function both reads the existing MERGE_RR
file, and takes MERGE_RR.lock. In the rerere() and
rerere_forget() functions, we end up in write_rr(), which
will then commit the lock file.
But for functions like rerere_clear() that do not write to
MERGE_RR, we expect the caller to have handled
setup_rerere(). That caller would then need to release the
lockfile, but it can't; the lock struct is local to
rerere.c.
For builtin/rerere.c, this is OK. We run a single rerere
operation and then exit immediately, which has the side
effect of rolling back the lockfile.
But in builtin/am.c, this is actively wrong. If we run "git
am -3 --skip", we call setup-rerere twice without releasing
the lock:
1. The "--skip" causes us to call am_rerere_clear(), which
calls setup_rerere(), but never drops the lock.
2. We then proceed to the next patch.
3. The "--3way" may cause us to call rerere() to handle
conflicts in that patch, but we are already holding the
lock. The lockfile code dies with:
BUG: prepare_tempfile_object called for active object
We could fix this by having rerere_clear() call
rollback_lock_file(). But it feels a bit odd for it to roll
back a lockfile that it did not itself take. So let's
simplify the interface further, and handle setup_rerere in
the function itself, taking away the question from the
caller over whether they need to do so.
We can give rerere_gc() the same treatment, as well (even
though it doesn't have any callers besides builtin/rerere.c
at this point). Note that these functions don't take flags
from their callers to pass along to setup_rerere; that's OK,
because the flags would not be meaningful for what they are
doing.
Both of those functions need to hold the lock because even
though they do not write to MERGE_RR, they are still writing
and should be protected from a simultaneous "rerere" run.
But rerere_remaining(), "rerere diff", and "rerere status"
are all read-only operations. They want to setup_rerere(),
but do not care about taking the lock in the first place.
Since our update of MERGE_RR is the usual atomic rename done
by commit_lock_file, they can just do a lockless read. For
that, we teach setup_rerere a READONLY flag to avoid the
lock.
As a bonus, this pushes builtin/rerere.c's setup_rerere call
closer to the functions that use it. Which means that "git
rerere totally-bogus-command" will no longer silently
exit(0) in a repository without rerere enabled.

One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:
1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.
2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
correctly at least once), but many of these constant
strings appear throughout the code.
This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.
Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.
Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.
Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

is recorded to be replayed. The plan is to make sure that the

Explain the internals of rerere as in-code comments, while
sprinkling "NEEDSWORK" comment to highlight iffy bits and
questionable assumptions.
This one covers the "$GIT_DIR/MERGE_RR" file and in-core merge_rr
that are used to keep track of the status of "rerere" session in
progress.

rerere_io_putconflict() wants to use a limited fixed-sized buf[] on
stack repeatedly to formulate a longer string, but its implementation
is doubly confusing:
* When it knows that the whole thing fits in buf[], it wants to
fill early part of buf[] with conflict marker characters,
followed by a LF and a NUL. It miscounts the size of the buffer
by 1 and does not use the last byte of buf[].
* When it needs to show only the early part of a long conflict
marker string (because the whole thing does not fit in buf[]), it
adjusts the number of bytes shown in the current round in a
strange-looking way. It makes sure that this round does not emit
all bytes and leaves at least one byte to the next round, so that
"it all fits" case will pick up the rest and show the terminating
LF. While this is correct, one needs to stop and think for a
while to realize why it is correct without an explanation.
Fix the benign off-by-one, and add comments to explain the
strange-looking size adjustment.

Explain the internals of rerere as in-code comments.
This one covers our thin I/O abstraction to read from either
a file or a memory while optionally writing out to a file.

A conflicted index can have multiple stage #1 entries when dealing
with a criss-cross merge and using the "resolve" merge strategy.
Plug the leak by reading only the first one of the same stage
entries.
Strictly speaking, this fix does change the semantics, in that we
used to use the last stage #1 entry as the common ancestor when
doing the plain-vanilla three-way merge, but with the leak fix, we
will use the first stage #1 entry. But it is not a grave backward
compatibility breakage. Either way, we are arbitrarily picking one
of multiple stage #1 entries and using it, ignoring others, and
there is no meaning in the ordering of these stage #1 entries.

handle_cache() loops 3 times starting from an index entry that is
unmerged, while ignoring an entry for a path that is different from
what we are looking for.
As the index is sorted, once we see a different path, we know we saw
all stages for the path we are interested in. Just loop while we
see the same path and then break, instead of continuing for 3 times.
