2011-01-20Correctly report corrupted objectsLibravatar Björn Steinbrink1-1/+1
The errno check added in commit 3ba7a06 "A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be read due to EMFILE" only checked for whether errno is not ENOENT and thus incorrectly treated "no error" as an error condition. Because of that, it never reached the code path that would report that the object is corrupted and instead caused funny errors like: fatal: failed to read object 333c4768ce595793fdab1ef3a036413e2a883853: Success So we have to extend the check to cover the case in which the object file was successfully read, but its contents are corrupted.

2010-11-10Remove pack file handling dependency from wrapper.oLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+11
As v1.7.0-rc0~43 (slim down "git show-index", 2010-01-21) explains, use of xmalloc() brings in a dependency on zlib, the sha1 lib, and the rest of git's object file access machinery via try_to_free_pack_memory. That is overkill when xmalloc is just being used as a convenience wrapper to exit when no memory is available. So defer setting try_to_free_pack_memory as try_to_free_routine until the first packfile is opened in add_packed_git(). After this change, a simple program using xmalloc() and no other functions will not pull in any code from libgit.a aside from wrapper.o and usage.o.

2010-11-10wrapper: move xmmap() to sha1_file.cLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+15
wrapper.o depends on sha1_file.o for a number of reasons. One is release_pack_memory(). xmmap function calls mmap, discarding unused pack windows when necessary to relieve memory pressure. Simple git programs using wrapper.o as a friendly libc do not need this functionality. So move xmmap to sha1_file.o, where release_pack_memory() is.

2010-11-03Work around EMFILE when there are too many pack filesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-16/+27
When opening any files in the object database, release unused pack windows if the open(2) syscall fails due to EMFILE (too many open files in this process). This allows Git to degrade gracefully on a repository with thousands of pack files, and a commit stored in a loose object in the middle of the history. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2010-11-03read_sha1_file(): report correct name of packfile with a corrupt objectLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-17/+24
Clarify the error reporting logic by moving the normal codepath (i.e. we read the object we wanted to read correctly) up and return early. The logic to report the name of the packfile with a corrupt object, introduced by e8b15e6 (sha1_file: Show the the type and path to corrupt objects, 2010-06-10), was totally bogus. The function that knows which bad object came from what packfile is has_packed_and_bad(); make it report which packfile the problem was found. "Corrupt" is already an adjective, e.g. an object is "corrupt"; we do not have to say "corrupted object". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* jk/maint-sha1-file-name-fix: remove over-eager caching in sha1_file_name
2010-05-25remove over-eager caching in sha1_file_nameLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+15
This function takes a sha1 and produces a loose object filename. It caches the location of the object directory so that it can fill the sha1 information directly without allocating a new buffer (and in its original incarnation, without calling getenv(), though these days we cache that with the code in environment.c). This cached base directory can become stale, however, if in a single process git changes the location of the object directory (e.g., by running setup_work_tree, which will chdir to the new worktree). In most cases this isn't a problem, because we tend to set up the git repository location and do any chdir()s before actually looking up any objects, so the first lookup will cache the correct location. In the case of reset --hard, however, we do something like: 1. look up the commit object 2. notice we are doing --hard, run setup_work_tree 3. look up the tree object to reset Step (3) fails because our cache object directory value is bogus. This patch simply removes the caching. We use a static buffer instead of allocating one each time (the original version treated the malloc'd buffer as a static, so there is no change in calling semantics).

2010-04-19Allow parse_pack_index on temporary filesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+1
The easiest way to verify a pack index is to open it through the standard parse_pack_index function, permitting the header check to happen when the file is mapped. However, the dumb HTTP client needs to verify a pack index before its moved into its proper file name within the objects/pack directory, to prevent a corrupt index from being made available. So permit the caller to specify the exact path of the index file. For now we're still using the final destination name within the sole call site in http.c, but eventually we will start to parse the temporary path instead. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

The check_valid helper has to come along, too, but is given a more library-ish name of "assert_sha1_type". Otherwise, the code is unchanged.

2010-02-21sha1_file: be paranoid when creating loose objectsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+9
We don't want the data being deflated and stored into loose objects to be different from what we expect. While the deflated data is protected by a CRC which is good enough for safe data retrieval operations, we still want to be doubly sure that the source data used at object creation time is still what we expected once that data has been deflated and its CRC32 computed. The most plausible data corruption may occur if the source file is modified while Git is deflating and writing it out in a loose object. Or Git itself could have a bug causing memory corruption. Or even bad RAM could cause trouble. So it is best to make sure everything is coherent and checksum protected from beginning to end. To do so we compute the SHA1 of the data being deflated _after_ the deflate operation has consumed that data, and make sure it matches with the expected SHA1. This way we can rely on the CRC32 checked by the inflate operation to provide a good indication that the data is still coherent with its SHA1 hash. One pathological case we ignore is when the data is modified before (or during) deflate call, but changed back before it is hashed. There is some overhead of course. Using 'git add' on a set of large files: Before: real 0m25.210s user 0m23.783s sys 0m1.408s After: real 0m26.537s user 0m25.175s sys 0m1.358s The overhead is around 5% for full data coherency guarantee.

There is no real advantage to malloc the whole output buffer and deflate the data in a single pass when writing loose objects. That is like only 1% faster while using more memory, especially with large files where memory usage is far more.

2009-10-21Fix incorrect error check while reading deflated pack dataLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+3
The loop in get_size_from_delta() feeds a deflated delta data from the pack stream _until_ we get inflated result of 20 bytes[*] or we reach the end of stream. Side note. This magic number 20 does not have anything to do with the size of the hash we use, but comes from 1a3b55c (reduce delta head inflated size, 2006-10-18). The loop reads like this: do { in = use_pack(); stream.next_in = in; st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH); curpos += stream.next_in - in; } while ((st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) && stream.total_out < sizeof(delta_head)); This git_inflate() can return: - Z_STREAM_END, if use_pack() fed it enough input and the delta itself was smaller than 20 bytes; - Z_OK, when some progress has been made; - Z_BUF_ERROR, if no progress is possible, because we either ran out of input (due to corrupt pack), or we ran out of output before we saw the end of the stream. The fix b3118bd (sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corrupted, 2009-10-14) attempted was against a corruption that appears to be a valid stream that produces a result larger than the output buffer, but we are not even trying to read the stream to the end in this loop. If avail_out becomes zero, total_out will be the same as sizeof(delta_head) so the loop will terminate without the "fix". There is no fix from b3118bd needed for this loop, in other words. The loop in unpack_compressed_entry() is quite a different story. It feeds a deflated stream (either delta or base) and allows the stream to produce output up to what we expect but no more. do { in = use_pack(); stream.next_in = in; st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH); curpos += stream.next_in - in; } while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) This _does_ risk falling into an endless interation, as we can exhaust avail_out if the length we expect is smaller than what the stream wants to produce (due to pack corruption). In such a case, avail_out will become zero and inflate() will return Z_BUF_ERROR, while avail_in may (or may not) be zero. But this is not a right fix: do { in = use_pack(); stream.next_in = in; st = git_inflate(&stream, Z_FINISH); + if (st == Z_BUF_ERROR && (stream.avail_in || !stream.avail_out) + break; /* wants more input??? */ curpos += stream.next_in - in; } while (st == Z_OK || st == Z_BUF_ERROR) as Z_BUF_ERROR from inflate() may be telling us that avail_in has also run out before reading the end of stream marker. In such a case, both avail_in and avail_out would be zero, and the loop should iterate to allow the end of stream marker to be seen by inflate from the input stream. The right fix for this loop is likely to be to increment the initial avail_out by one (we allocate one extra byte to terminate it with NUL anyway, so there is no risk to overrun the buffer), and break out if we see that avail_out has become zero, in order to detect that the stream wants to produce more than what we expect. After the loop, we have a check that exactly tests this condition: if ((st != Z_STREAM_END) || stream.total_out != size) { free(buffer); return NULL; } So here is a patch (without my previous botched attempts) to fix this issue. The first hunk reverts the corresponding hunk from b3118bd, and the second hunk is the same fix proposed earlier. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-14sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corruptedLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+4
Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our allocated output buffer could accept. Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space. Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack. We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END. Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working as expected, and should not continue. This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

2009-06-18Fix big left-shifts of unsigned charLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+1
Shifting 'unsigned char' or 'unsigned short' left can result in sign extension errors, since the C integer promotion rules means that the unsigned char/short will get implicitly promoted to a signed 'int' due to the shift (or due to other operations). This normally doesn't matter, but if you shift things up sufficiently, it will now set the sign bit in 'int', and a subsequent cast to a bigger type (eg 'long' or 'unsigned long') will now sign-extend the value despite the original expression being unsigned. One example of this would be something like unsigned long size; unsigned char c; size += c << 24; where despite all the variables being unsigned, 'c << 24' ends up being a signed entity, and will get sign-extended when then doing the addition in an 'unsigned long' type. Since git uses 'unsigned char' pointers extensively, we actually have this bug in a couple of places. I may have missed some, but this is the result of looking at git grep '[^0-9 ][ ]*<<[ ][a-z]' -- '*.c' '*.h' git grep '<<[ ]*24' which catches at least the common byte cases (shifting variables by a variable amount, and shifting by 24 bits). I also grepped for just 'unsigned char' variables in general, and converted the ones that most obviously ended up getting implicitly cast immediately anyway (eg hash_name(), encode_85()). In addition to just avoiding 'unsigned char', this patch also tries to use a common idiom for the delta header size thing. We had three different variations on it: "& 0x7fUL" in one place (getting the sign extension right), and "& ~0x80" and "& 0x7f" in two other places (not getting it right). Apart from making them all just avoid using "unsigned char" at all, I also unified them to then use a simple "& 0x7f". I considered making a sparse extension which warns about doing implicit casts from unsigned types to signed types, but it gets rather complex very quickly, so this is just a hack.

This new function is needed because sometimes we need to use the replacement sha1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-05-31replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in "refs/replace/"Libravatar Christian Couder1-3/+11
The code implementing this mechanism has been copied more-or-less from the commit graft code. This mechanism is used in "read_sha1_file". sha1 passed to this function that match a ref name in "refs/replace/" are replaced by the sha1 that has been read in the ref. We "die" if the replacement recursion depth is too high or if we can't read the replacement object.

2009-05-20Cope better with a _lot_ of packsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
You might end up with a situation where you have tons of pack files, e.g. when using hg2git. In this situation, all kinds of operations may end up with a "too many files open" error. Let's recover gracefully from that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Looks-right-to-me-by: Shawn O.

2009-04-29replace direct calls to unlink(2) with unlink_or_warnLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+1
This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on systems which lock open files. I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement: - it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures - it is in a function which already printing something or is called from such a function - it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only called from a builtin main function (cmd_) - it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers) - it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-29Rename core.unreliableHardlinks to core.createObjectLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
"Unreliable hardlinks" is a misleading description for what is happening. So rename it to something less misleading. Suggested by Linus Torvalds. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-25Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().
