2016-01-15strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When calculating hashes from pointers, it actually makes sense to cut off the most significant bits. In that case, said warning does not make a whole lot of sense.

2015-10-07sha1_file.c: add a function to release all packsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+20
On Windows, files that are in use cannot be removed or renamed. That means that we have to release pack files when we are about to, say, repack them. Let's introduce a convenient function to close all the pack files and their idx files. While at it, we consolidate the close windows/close fd/close index stanza in `free_pack_by_name()` into the `close_pack()` function that is used by the new `close_all_packs()` function to avoid repeated code.

2015-10-05avoid sprintf and strcpy with flex arraysLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
When we are allocating a struct with a FLEX_ARRAY member, we generally compute the size of the array and then sprintf or strcpy into it. Normally we could improve a dynamic allocation like this by using xstrfmt, but it doesn't work here; we have to account for the size of the rest of the struct. But we can improve things a bit by storing the length that we use for the allocation, and then feeding it to xsnprintf or memcpy, which makes it more obvious that we are not writing more than the allocated number of bytes. It would be nice if we had some kind of helper for allocating generic flex arrays, but it doesn't work that well: - the call signature is a little bit unwieldy: d = flex_struct(sizeof(*d), offsetof(d, path), fmt, ...); You need offsetof here instead of just writing to the end of the base size, because we don't know how the struct is packed (partially this is because FLEX_ARRAY might not be zero, though we can account for that; but the size of the struct may actually be rounded up for alignment, and we can't know that). - some sites do clever things, like over-allocating because they know they will write larger things into the buffer later (e.g., struct packed_git here). So we're better off to just write out each allocation (or add type-specific helpers, though many of these are one-off allocations anyway).

2015-10-05write_loose_object: convert to strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-20/+22
When creating a loose object tempfile, we use a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer, and strcpy directly into it. This isn't buggy, because we do a rough check of the size, but there's no verification that our guesstimate of the required space is enough (in fact, it's several bytes too big for the current naming scheme). Let's switch to a strbuf, which makes this much easier to verify. The allocation overhead should be negligible, since we are replacing a static buffer with a static strbuf, and we'll only need to allocate on the first call. While we're here, we can also document a subtle interaction with mkstemp that would be easy to overlook. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-09-25sha1_get_pack_name: use a strbufLibravatar Jeff King1-29/+10
We do some manual memory computation here, and there's no check that our 60 is not overflowed by the raw sprintf (it isn't, because the "which" parameter is never longer than "pack"). We can simplify this greatly with a strbuf. Technically the end result is not identical, as the original took care not to rewrite the object directory on each call for performance reasons. We could do that here, too (by saving the baselen and resetting to it), but it's not worth the complexity; this function is not called a lot (generally once per packfile that we open).

2015-09-25use strip_suffix and xstrfmt to replace suffixLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
When we want to convert "foo.pack" to "foo.idx", we do it by duplicating the original string and then munging the bytes in place. Let's use strip_suffix and xstrfmt instead, which has several advantages: 1. It's more clear what the intent is. 2. It does not implicitly rely on the fact that strlen(".idx") <= strlen(".pack") to avoid an overflow. 3. We communicate the assumption that the input file ends with ".pack" (and get a run-time check that this is so). 4. We drop calls to strcpy, which makes auditing the code base easier. Likewise, we can do this to convert ".pack" to ".bitmap", avoiding some manual memory computation. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-09-25add_packed_git: convert strcpy into xsnprintfLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+13
We have the path "foo.idx", and we create a buffer big enough to hold "foo.pack" and "foo.keep", and then strcpy straight into it. This isn't a bug (we have enough space), but it's very hard to tell from the strcpy that this is so. Let's instead use strip_suffix to take off the ".idx", record the size of our allocation, and use xsnprintf to make sure we don't violate our assumptions.

2015-09-25use xsnprintf for generating git object headersLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+7
We generally use 32-byte buffers to format git's "type size" header fields. These should not generally overflow unless you can produce some truly gigantic objects (and our types come from our internal array of constant strings). But it is a good idea to use xsnprintf to make sure this is the case. Note that we slightly modify the interface to write_sha1_file_prepare, which nows uses "hdrlen" as an "in" parameter as well as an "out" (on the way in it stores the allocated size of the header, and on the way out it returns the ultimate size of the header).

2015-09-04read_info_alternates: handle paths larger than PATH_MAXLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+3
This function assumes that the relative_base path passed into it is no larger than PATH_MAX, and writes into a fixed-size buffer. However, this path may not have actually come from the filesystem; for example, add_submodule_odb generates a path using a strbuf and passes it in. This is hard to trigger in practice, though, because the long submodule directory would have to exist on disk before we would try to open its info/alternates file. We can easily avoid the bug, though, by simply creating the filename on the heap. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Move the part to produce human-readable messages to count-objects, and refine the interface to callback with the "bits" with values defined in the cache.h header file, so that other callers (e.g. prune) can later use the same mechanism to enumerate different kinds of garbage files and do something intelligent about them, other than reporting in textual messages.

2015-08-12git_open_noatime: return with errno=0 on successLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-1/+4
In read_sha1_file_extended we die if read_object fails with a fatal error. We detect a fatal error if errno is non-zero and is not ENOENT. If the object could not be read because it does not exist, this is not considered a fatal error and we want to return NULL. Somewhere down the line, read_object calls git_open_noatime to open a pack index file, for example. We first try open with O_NOATIME. If O_NOATIME fails with EPERM, we retry without O_NOATIME. When the second open succeeds, errno is however still set to EPERM from the first attempt. When we finally determine that the object does not exist, read_object returns NULL and read_sha1_file_extended dies with a fatal error: fatal: failed to read object <sha1>: Operation not permitted Fix this by resetting errno to zero before we call open again.

2015-08-12prune: close directory earlier during loose-object directory traversalLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+2
27e1e22d (prune: factor out loose-object directory traversal, 2014-10-16) introduced a new function for_each_loose_file_in_objdir() with a helper for_each_file_in_obj_subdir(). The latter calls callbacks for each file found during a directory traversal and finally also a callback for the directory itself. git-prune uses the function to clean up the object directory. In particular, in the directory callback it calls rmdir(). On Windows XP, this rmdir call fails, because the directory is still open while the callback is called.

2015-08-10add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entriesLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+40
The add_to_alternates_file function blindly uses hold_lock_file_for_append to copy the existing contents, and then adds the new line to it. This has two minor problems: 1. We might add duplicate entries, which are ugly and inefficient. 2. We do not check that the file ends with a newline, in which case we would bogusly append to the final line. This is quite unlikely in practice, though, as we call this function only from git-clone, so presumably we are the only writers of the file (and we always add a newline). Instead of using hold_lock_file_for_append, let's copy the file line by line, which ensures all records are properly terminated. If we see an extra line, we can simply abort the update (there is no point in even copying the rest, as we know that it would be identical to the original). As a bonus, we also get rid of some calls to the static-buffer mkpath and git_path functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Since 5a688fe4 ("core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen, 2009-03-25), we kept reminding ourselves: NEEDSWORK: this should be renamed to finalize_temp_file() as "moving" is only a part of what it does, when no patch between master to pu changes the call sites of this function. without doing anything about it. Let's do so. The purpose of this function was not to move but to finalize. The detail of the primarily implementation of finalizing was to link the temporary file to its final name and then to unlink, which wasn't even "moving". The alternative implementation did "move" by calling rename(2), which is a fun tangent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-07-08check_and_freshen_file: fix reversed success-checkLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+9
When we want to write out a loose object file, we have always first made sure we don't already have the object somewhere. Since 33d4221 (write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects, 2014-10-15), we also update the timestamp on the file, so that a simultaneous prune knows somebody is likely to reference it soon. If our utime() call fails, we treat this the same as not having the object in the first place; the safe thing to do is write out another copy. However, the loose-object check accidentally inverts the utime() check; it returns failure _only_ when the utime() call actually succeeded. Thus it was failing to protect us there, and in the normal case where utime() succeeds, it caused us to pointlessly write out and link the object. This passed our freshening tests, because writing out the new object is certainly _one_ way of updating its utime. So the normal case was inefficient, but not wrong. While we're here, let's also drop a comment in front of the check_and_freshen functions, making a note of their return type (since it is not our usual "0 for success, -1 for error").

2015-06-22for_each_packed_object: automatically open pack indexLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
When for_each_packed_object is called, we call prepare_packed_git() to make sure we have the actual list of packs. But the latter does not actually open the pack indices, meaning that pack->nr_objects may simply be 0 if the pack has not otherwise been used since the program started. In practice, this didn't come up for the current callers, because they iterate the packed objects only after iterating all reachable objects (so for it to matter you would have to have a pack consisting only of unreachable objects). But it is a dangerous and confusing interface that should be fixed for future callers. Note that we do not end the iteration when a pack cannot be opened, but we do return an error. That lets you complete the iteration even in actively-repacked repository where an .idx file may racily go away, but it also lets callers know that they may not have gotten the complete list (which the current reachability-check caller does care about). We have to tweak one of the prune tests due to the changed return value; an earlier test creates bogus .idx files and does not clean them up. Having to make this tweak is a good thing; it means we will not prune in a broken repository, and the test confirms that we do not negatively impact a more lenient caller, count-objects.

Since 45e8a74 (has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up, 2013-08-30), we spend extra effort for has_sha1_file to give the right answer when somebody else is repacking. Usually this effort does not matter, because after finding that the object does not exist, the next step is usually to die(). However, some code paths make a large number of has_sha1_file checks which are _not_ expected to return 1. The collision test in index-pack.c is such a case. On a local system, this can cause a performance slowdown of around 5%. But on a system with high-latency system calls (like NFS), it can be much worse. This patch introduces a "quick" flag to has_sha1_file which callers can use when they would prefer high performance at the cost of false negatives during repacks. There may be other code paths that can use this, but the index-pack one is the most obviously critical, so we'll start with switching that one.

2015-05-28config.c: avoid xmmap error messagesLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+11
The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two downsides: 1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any context about the file we are mapping: $ mkdir foo $ git config --file=foo some.key value fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device 2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd rather report the error and return an appropriate exit status (which is part of the public interface documented in git-config.1). This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap directly, because we would like to use the other compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length maps portably). The end result is: $ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value error: unable to mmap 'foo': No such device $ echo $? 3 Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
