2012-03-07parse_object: avoid putting whole blob in coreLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+40
Traditionally, all the callers of check_sha1_signature() first called read_sha1_file() to prepare the whole object data in core, and called this function. The function is used to revalidate what we read from the object database actually matches the object name we used to ask for the data from the object database. Update the API to allow callers to pass NULL as the object data, and have the function read and hash the object data using streaming API to recompute the object name, without having to hold everything in core at the same time. This is most useful in parse_object() that parses a blob object, because this caller does not have to keep the actual blob data around in memory after a "struct blob" is returned.

* jk/maint-avoid-streaming-filtered-contents: do not stream large files to pack when filters are in use teach dry-run convert_to_git not to require a src buffer teach convert_to_git a "dry run" mode
2012-02-24do not stream large files to pack when filters are in useLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+9
Because git's object format requires us to specify the number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know the size before streaming a blob into the object database. This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use (such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will be. The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores filter configuration entirely for files larger than core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain size. Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming optimization when filters are in use. This has a slight performance regression in a very specific case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as such). And the flip side is that if you have a large _non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement; before we did not apply the conversion at all. The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures on input. The second half tests the matching output code paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any adjustment.

2012-02-06fsck: give accurate error message on empty loose object filesLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+5
Since 3ba7a065527a (A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be read due to EMFILE), "git fsck" on a repository with an empty loose object file complains with the error message fatal: failed to read object <sha1>: Invalid argument This comes from a failure of mmap on this empty file, which sets errno to EINVAL. Instead of calling xmmap on empty file, we display a clean error message ourselves, and return a NULL pointer. The new message is error: object file .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1> is empty fatal: loose object <sha1> (stored in .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1>) is corrupt The second line was already there before the regression in 3ba7a065527a, and the first is an additional message, that should help diagnosing the problem for the user.

2012-02-01find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locallyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-14/+13
Commit f7c22cc (always start looking up objects in the last used pack first - 2007-05-30) introduce a static packed_git* pointer as an optimization. The kept pointer however may become invalid if free_pack_by_name() happens to free that particular pack. Current code base does not access packs after calling free_pack_by_name() so it should not be a problem. Anyway, move the pointer out so that free_pack_by_name() can reset it to avoid running into troubles in future.

2011-10-14downgrade "packfile cannot be accessed" errors to warningsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
These can happen if another process simultaneously prunes a pack. But that is not usually an error condition, because a properly-running prune should have repacked the object into a new pack. So we will notice that the pack has disappeared unexpectedly, print a message, try other packs (possibly after re-scanning the list of packs), and find it in the new pack.

2011-10-14pack-objects: protect against disappearing packsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by the time we try to open and map it, it is gone. Since c715f78, we already protect against this in the normal object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs at a lower level. In the normal access path, we call find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit, we will actually open and verify the validity of the matching packfile (using c715f78's is_pack_valid). If we can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on to loose objects). Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the filesystem. Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course, but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't happen because we tend to look up items and then access them immediately. Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it accesses the packs at a much lower level, using find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a packfile, but no open descriptor. We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately, the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up each object as we find out about it, and the only later when writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim. In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for three reasons. 1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case, then the race is impossible to trigger. 2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may get lucky). 3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering the problem without this check means deleting the pack any time after we read the list of index files, but before we access the looked-up objects. Triggering it with this check means deleting the pack means deleting the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access the packfile), but before we access the object. Which is a smaller window.

2011-08-23clone: clone from a repository with relative alternatesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues: - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository. - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/" directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new repository. This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

2011-08-11Tolerate zlib deflation with window size < 32KbLibravatar Roberto Tyley1-6/+26
Git currently reports loose objects as 'corrupt' if they've been deflated using a window size less than 32Kb, because the experimental_loose_object() function doesn't recognise the header byte as a zlib header. This patch makes the function tolerant of all valid window sizes (15-bit to 8-bit) - but doesn't sacrifice it's accuracy in distingushing the standard loose-object format from the experimental (now abandoned) format. On memory constrained systems zlib may use a much smaller window size - working on Agit, I found that Android uses a 4KB window; giving a header byte of 0x48, not 0x78. Consequently all loose objects generated appear 'corrupt', which is why Agit is a read-only Git client at this time - I don't want my client to generate Git repos that other clients treat as broken :( This patch makes Git tolerant of different deflate settings - it might appear that it changes experimental_loose_object() to the point where it could incorrectly identify the experimental format as the standard one, but the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) can only give a false result for an experimental object where both of the following are true: 1) object size is exactly 8 bytes when uncompressed (bitmask) 2) [single-byte in-pack git type&size header] * 256 + [1st byte of the following zlib header] % 31 = 0 (checksum) As it happens, for all possible combinations of valid object type (1-4) and window bits (0-7), the only time when the checksum will be divisible by 31 is for 0x1838 - ie object type *1*, a Commit - which, due the fields all Commit objects must contain, could never be as small as 8 bytes in size. Given this, the combination of the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) always correctly determines the buffer format, and is more tolerant than the previous version. The alternative to this patch is simply removing support for the experimental format, which I am also totally cool with.

2011-06-10zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a timeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+9
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB. But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept) fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt. In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit. Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object() function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened. This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case, otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case. Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.

2011-05-15read_sha1_file(): allow selective bypassing of replacement mechanismLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
The way "object replacement" mechanism was tucked to the read_sha1_file() interface was suboptimal in a couple of ways: - Callers that want it to die with useful diagnosis upon seeing a corrupt object does not have a way to say that they do not want any object replacement. - Callers who do not want it to die but want to handle the errors themselves are told to arrange to call read_object(), but the function does not use the replacement mechanism, and also it is a file scope static function that not many callers can call to begin with. This adds a read_sha1_file_extended() that takes a set of flags; the callers of read_sha1_file() passes a flag READ_SHA1_FILE_REPLACE to ask for object replacement mechanism to kick in. Later, we could add another flag bit to tell the function to return an error instead of dying and then remove the misguided "call read_object() yourself".

Most callers want to silently get a replacement object, and they do not care what the real name of the replacement object is. Worse yet, no sane interface to return the underlying object without replacement is provided. Remove the function and make only the few callers that want the name of the replacement object find it themselves. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-13Bigfile: teach "git add" to send a large file straight to a packLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+83
When adding a new content to the repository, we have always slurped the blob in its entirety in-core first, and computed the object name and compressed it into a loose object file. Handling large binary files (e.g. video and audio asset for games) has been problematic because of this design. At the middle level of "git add" callchain is an internal API index_fd() that takes an open file descriptor to read from the working tree file being added with its size. Teach it to call out to fast-import when adding a large blob. The write-out codepath in entry.c::write_entry() should be taught to stream, instead of reading everything in core. This should not be so hard to implement, especially if we limit ourselves only to loose object files and non-delta representation in packfiles. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-09index_fd(): split into two helper functionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+31
Split out the case where we do not know the size of the input (hence we read everything into a strbuf before doing anything) to index_pipe(), and the other case where we mmap or read the whole data to index_bulk(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-09index_fd(): turn write_object and format_check arguments into one flagLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-16/+13
The "format_check" parameter tucked after the existing parameters is too ugly an afterthought to live in any reasonable API. Combine it with the other boolean parameter "write_object" into a single "flags" parameter. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
