When cloning to a directory "C:\foo\bar" from Windows' cmd.exe where

Fix this by not hard-coding a platform specific directory separator

When an object lookup fails, we re-read the objects/pack
directory to pick up any new packfiles that may have been
created since our last read. We also discard any pack
revindex structs we've allocated.
The discarding is a problem for the pack-bitmap code, which keeps
a pointer to the revindex for the bitmapped pack. After the
discard, the pointer is invalid, and we may read free()d
memory.
Other revindex users do not keep a bare pointer to the
revindex; instead, they always access it through
revindex_for_pack(), which lazily builds the revindex. So
one solution is to teach the pack-bitmap code a similar
trick. It would be slightly less efficient, but probably not
all that noticeable.
However, it turns out this discarding is not actually
necessary. When we call reprepare_packed_git, we do not
throw away our old pack list. We keep the existing entries,
and only add in new ones. So there is no safety problem; we
will still have the pack struct that matches each revindex.
The packfile itself may go away, of course, but we are
already prepared to handle that, and it may happen outside
of reprepare_packed_git anyway.
Throwing away the revindex may save some RAM if the pack
never gets reused (about 12 bytes per object). But it also
wastes some CPU time (to regenerate the index) if the pack
does get reused. It's hard to say which is more valuable,
but in either case, it happens very rarely (only when we
race with a simultaneous repack). Just leaving the revindex
in place is simple and safe both for current and future
code.

When we figure out how many file descriptors to allocate for
keeping packfiles open, a system with non-working getrlimit() could
cause us to die(), but because we make this call only to get a

to use up all file descriptors available ourselves, it is nicer to
fall back to a reasonable low value rather than dying.

Add a new possible error result that can be returned by
safe_create_leading_directories() and
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): SCLD_VANISHED. This value
indicates that a file or directory on the path existed at one point
(either it already existed or the function created it), but then it
disappeared. This probably indicates that another process deleted the
directory while we were working. If SCLD_VANISHED is returned, the
caller might want to retry the function call, as there is a chance
that a new attempt will succeed.
Why doesn't safe_create_leading_directories() do the retrying
internally? Because an empty directory isn't really ever safe until
it holds a file. So even if safe_create_leading_directories() were
absolutely sure that the directory existed before it returned, there
would be no guarantee that the directory still existed when the caller
tried to write something in it.

If the input path has multiple slashes between path components (e.g.,
"foo//bar"), then the old code was breaking the path at the last
slash, not the first one. So in the above example, the second slash
was overwritten with NUL, resulting in the parent directory being
sought as "foo/".
When stat() is called on "foo/", it fails with ENOTDIR if "foo" exists
but is not a directory. This caused the wrong path to be taken in the
subsequent logic.
So instead, split path components at the first intercomponent slash
rather than the last one.

A caller of sha1_object_info_extended technically has enough
information to determine the base sha1 from the results of
the call. It knows the pack, offset, and delta type of the
object, which is sufficient to find the base.
However, the functions to do so are not publicly available,
and the code itself is intimate enough with the pack details
that it should be abstracted away. We could add a public
helper to allow callers to query the delta base separately,
but it is simpler and slightly more efficient to optionally
grab it along with the rest of the object_info data.
For cases where the object is not stored as a delta, we
write the null sha1 into the query field. A careful caller
could check "oi.whence == OI_PACKED && oi.u.packed.is_delta"
before looking at the base sha1, but using the null sha1
provides a simple alternative (and gives a better sanity
check for a non-careful caller than simply returning random
bytes).

On broken systems where RLIMIT_NOFILE is visible by the compliers
but underlying getrlimit() system call does not behave, we used to
simply die() when we are trying to decide how many file descriptors
to allocate for keeping packfiles open. Instead, allow the fallback
codepath to take over when we get such a failure from getrlimit().
The same issue exists with _SC_OPEN_MAX and sysconf(); restructure
the code in a similar way to prepare for a broken sysconf() as well.

In git v1.4.3, we introduced a new loose object format that
encoded some object information outside of the zlib stream.
Ultimately the format was dropped in v1.5.3, but we kept the
reading side around to help people migrate objects. Each
time we open a loose object, we use a heuristic to check
whether it is in the normal loose format, or the
experimental one.
This heuristic is robust in the face of valid data, but it
tends to treat corrupted or garbage data as an experimental
object. With the regular format, we would notice quickly
that zlib's crc does not check out and complain. With the
experimental object, we are likely to extract a nonsensical
object size and try to allocate a huge buffer, resulting in
xmalloc calling "die".
This latter behavior is much worse, for two reasons. One,
git reports an allocation error when the real error is
corruption. And two, the program dies unconditionally, so
you cannot even run fsck (which would otherwise ignore the
broken object and keep going).
We could try to improve the heuristic to err on the side of
normal objects in the face of corruption, but there is
really little point. The experimental format is long-dead,
and was never enabled by default to begin with. We can
instead simply remove it. The only affected repository would
be one that explicitly set core.legacyheaders in 2007, and
then never repacked in the intervening 6 years.

There are cases (e.g. when running concurrent fetches in a repo) where
multiple Git processes concurrently attempt to create loose objects
within the same objects/XX/ dir. The creation of the loose object files
is (AFAICS) safe from races, but the creation of the objects/XX/ dir in
which the loose objects reside is unsafe, for example:
Two concurrent fetches - A and B. As part of its fetch, A needs to store
12aaaaa as a loose object. B, on the other hand, needs to store 12bbbbb
as a loose object. The objects/12 directory does not already exist.
Concurrently, both A and B determine that they need to create the
objects/12 directory (because their first call to git_mkstemp_mode()
within create_tmpfile() fails witn ENOENT). One of them - let's say A -
executes the following mkdir() call before the other. This first call
returns success, and A moves on. When B gets around to calling mkdir(),
it fails with EEXIST, because A won the race. The mkdir() error causes B
to return -1 from create_tmpfile(), which propagates all the way,
resulting in the fetch failing with:
error: unable to create temporary file: File exists
fatal: failed to write object
fatal: unpack-objects failed
Although it's hard to add a testcase reproducing this issue, it's easy
to provoke if we insert a sleep after the
if (mkdir(buffer, 0777) || adjust_shared_perm(buffer))
return -1;
block, and then run two concurrent "git fetch"es against the same repo.
The fix is to simply handle mkdir() failing with EEXIST as a success.
If EEXIST is somehow returned for the wrong reasons (because the relevant
objects/XX is not a directory, or is otherwise unsuitable for object
storage), the following call to adjust_shared_perm(), or ultimately the
retried call to git_mkstemp_mode() will fail, and we end up returning
error from create_tmpfile() in any case.
Note that there are still cases where two users with unsuitable umasks
in a shared repo can end up in two races where one user first wins the
mkdir() race to create an objects/XX/ directory, and then the other user
wins the adjust_shared_perms() race to chmod() that directory, but fails
because it is (transiently, until the first users completes its chmod())
unwriteable to the other user. However, (an equivalent of) this race also
exists before this patch, and is made no worse by this patch.

Handle memory pressure and file descriptor pressure separately when
deciding to release pack windows to honor resource limits.
* bc/unuse-packfile:
Don't close pack fd when free'ing pack windows
sha1_file: introduce close_one_pack() to close packs on fd pressure
|
|
When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).
However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.
By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not. However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.
For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.
For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value). So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).
There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:
# base.sh
# run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
# repeatedly to a repository
git init parent &&
(cd parent &&
# create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
# the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
echo content >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m base &&
# set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
# lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
git config receive.unpackLimit 1
) &&
git clone parent child &&
cd child &&
n=0 &&
while true; do
echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
n=$(($n + 1))
done
# fsck.sh
# now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
# repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
# newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
# here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
# skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
# more information on the object, it will actually read
# the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
cd parent &&
while true; do
broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
if test -n "$broken"; then
echo $broken
exit 1
fi
done
Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.

Now that close_one_pack() has been introduced to handle file
descriptor pressure, it is not strictly necessary to close the
pack file descriptor in unuse_one_window() when we're under memory
pressure.
Jeff King provided a justification for leaving the pack file open:
If you close packfile descriptors, you can run into racy situations
where somebody else is repacking and deleting packs, and they go away
while you are trying to access them. If you keep a descriptor open,
you're fine; they last to the end of the process. If you don't, then
they disappear from under you.
For normal object access, this isn't that big a deal; we just rescan
the packs and retry. But if you are packing yourself (e.g., because
you are a pack-objects started by upload-pack for a clone or fetch),
it's much harder to recover (and we print some warnings).
Let's do so (or uh, not do so).

When the number of open packs exceeds pack_max_fds, unuse_one_window()
is called repeatedly to attempt to release the least-recently-used
pack windows, which, as a side-effect, will also close a pack file
after closing its last open window. If a pack file has been opened,
but no windows have been allocated into it, it will never be selected
by unuse_one_window() and hence its file descriptor will not be
closed. When this happens, git may exceed the number of file
descriptors permitted by the system.
This latter situation can occur in show-ref or receive-pack during ref
advertisement. During ref advertisement, receive-pack will iterate
over every ref in the repository and advertise it to the client after
ensuring that the ref exists in the local repository. If the ref is
located inside a pack, then the pack is opened to ensure that it
exists, but since the object is not actually read from the pack, no
mmap windows are allocated. When the number of open packs exceeds
pack_max_fds, unuse_one_window() will not be able to find any windows to
free and will not be able to close any packs. Once the per-process
file descriptor limit is exceeded, receive-pack will produce a warning,
not an error, for each pack it cannot open, and will then most likely
fail with an error to spawn rev-list or index-pack like:
error: cannot create standard input pipe for rev-list: Too many open files
error: Could not run 'git rev-list'
This may also occur during upload-pack when refs are packed (in the
packed-refs file) and the number of packs that must be opened to
verify that these packed refs exist exceeds the file descriptor
limit. If the refs are loose, then upload-pack will read each ref
from the object database (if the object is in a pack, allocating one
or more mmap windows for it) in order to peel tags and advertise the
underlying object. But when the refs are packed and peeled,
upload-pack will use the peeled sha1 in the packed-refs file and
will not need to read from the pack files, so no mmap windows will
be allocated and just like with receive-pack, unuse_one_window()
will never select these opened packs to close.
When we have file descriptor pressure, we just need to find an open
pack to close. We can leave the existing mmap windows open. If
additional windows need to be mapped into the pack file, it will be
reopened when necessary. If the pack file has been rewritten in the
mean time, open_packed_git_1() should notice when it compares the file
size or the pack's sha1 checksum to what was previously read from the
pack index, and reject it.
Let's introduce a new function close_one_pack() designed specifically
for this purpose to search for and close the least-recently-used pack,
where LRU is defined as (in order of preference):
* pack with oldest mtime and no allocated mmap windows
* pack with the least-recently-used windows, i.e. the pack
with the oldest most-recently-used window, where none of
the windows are in use
* pack with the least-recently-used windows

If somebody wants to only know on-disk footprint of an object
without having to know its type or payload size, we can bypass a
lot of code to cheaply learn it.
* jk/cat-file-batch-optim:
Fix some sparse warnings
sha1_object_info_extended: pass object_info to helpers
sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional
packed_object_info: make type lookup optional
packed_object_info: hoist delta type resolution to helper
sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional
sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type"
cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode

Sparse issues some "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" warnings.
Each warning relates to the use of an '{0}' initialiser expression
in the declaration of an 'struct object_info'. The first field of
this structure has pointer type. Thus, in order to suppress these
warnings, we replace the initialiser expression with '{NULL}'.

"git cat-file --batch-check=<format>" is added, primarily to allow
on-disk footprint of objects in packfiles (often they are a lot
smaller than their true size, when expressed as deltas) to be
reported.
* jk/in-pack-size-measurement:
pack-revindex: radix-sort the revindex
pack-revindex: use unsigned to store number of objects
cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace
cat-file: add %(objectsize:disk) format atom
cat-file: add --batch-check=<format>
cat-file: refactor --batch option parsing
cat-file: teach --batch to stream blob objects
t1006: modernize output comparisons
teach sha1_object_info_extended a "disk_size" query
zero-initialize object_info structs

We take in a "struct object_info" which contains pointers to
storage for items the caller cares about. But then rather
than pass the whole object to the low-level loose/packed
helper functions, we pass the individual pointers.
Let's pass the whole struct instead, which will make adding
more items later easier.

Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).
This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).
This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.
As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:
1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
always ask for and return the type field.
2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
so always asks for it.
3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
%(objecttype) is part of the format string.
On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'
on a fully packed repository goes from:
real 0m8.680s
user 0m8.160s
sys 0m0.512s
to:
real 0m7.205s
user 0m6.580s
sys 0m0.608s
