2015-05-12ref_transaction_commit(): fix atomicity and avoid fd exhaustionLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+2
The old code was roughly for update in updates: acquire locks and check old_sha for update in updates: if changing value: write_ref_to_lockfile() commit_ref_update() for update in updates: if deleting value: unlink() rewrite packed-refs file for update in updates: if reference still locked: unlock_ref() This has two problems. Non-atomic updates ================== The atomicity of the reference transaction depends on all pre-checks being done in the first loop, before any changes have started being committed in the second loop. The problem is that write_ref_to_lockfile() (previously part of write_ref_sha1()), which is called from the second loop, contains two more checks: * It verifies that new_sha1 is a valid object * If the reference being updated is a branch, it verifies that new_sha1 points at a commit object (as opposed to a tag, tree, or blob). If either of these checks fails, the "transaction" is aborted during the second loop. But this might happen after some reference updates have already been permanently committed. In other words, the all-or-nothing promise of "git update-ref --stdin" could be violated. So these checks have to be moved to the first loop. File descriptor exhaustion ========================== The old code locked all of the references in the first loop, leaving all of the lockfiles open until later loops. Since we might be updating a lot of references, this could result in file descriptor exhaustion. The solution ============ After this patch, the code looks like for update in updates: acquire locks and check old_sha if changing value: write_ref_to_lockfile() else: close_ref() for update in updates: if changing value: commit_ref_update() for update in updates: if deleting value: unlink() rewrite packed-refs file for update in updates: if reference still locked: unlock_ref() This fixes both problems: 1. The pre-checks in write_ref_to_lockfile() are now done in the first loop, before any changes have been committed. If any of the checks fails, the whole transaction can now be rolled back correctly. 2. All lockfiles are closed in the first loop immediately after they are created (either by write_ref_to_lockfile() or by close_ref()). This means that there is never more than one open lockfile at a time, preventing file descriptor exhaustion. To simplify the bookkeeping across loops, add a new REF_NEEDS_COMMIT bit to update->flags, which keeps track of whether the corresponding lockfile needs to be committed, as opposed to just unlocked. (Since "struct ref_update" is internal to the refs module, this change is not visible to external callers.) This change fixes two tests in t1400.

2014-12-11update-ref: fix "verify" command with missing <oldvalue>Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+2
If "git update-ref --stdin" was given a "verify" command with no "<newvalue>" at all (not even zeros), the code was mistakenly setting have_old=0 (and leaving old_sha1 uninitialized). But this is incorrect: this command is supposed to verify that the reference doesn't exist. So in this case we really need old_sha1 to be set to null_sha1 and have_old to be set to 1. Moreover, since have_old was being set to zero, *no* check of the old value was being done, so the new value of the reference was being set unconditionally to the value in new_sha1. new_sha1, in turn, was set to null_sha1 in the expectation that that was the old value and it shouldn't be changed. But because the precondition was not being checked, the result was that the reference was being deleted unconditionally. So, if <oldvalue> is missing, set have_old unconditionally and set old_sha1 to null_sha1.

2014-10-15branch -d: avoid repeated symref resolutionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+34
If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting, it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d": $ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense $ git branch -d nonsense error: branch 'nonsense' not found. Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs either: $ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag and passing it when appropriate. Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.

2014-06-03refs.c: change read_ref_at to use the reflog iteratorsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-2/+2
read_ref_at has its own parsing of the reflog file for no really good reason so lets change this to use the existing reflog iterators. This removes one instance where we manually unmarshall the reflog file format. Remove the now redundant ref_msg function. Log messages for errors are changed slightly. We no longer print the file name for the reflog, instead we refer to it as 'Log for ref <refname>'. This might be a minor useability regression, but I don't really think so, since experienced users would know where the log is anyway and inexperienced users would not know what to do about/how to repair 'Log ... has gap ...' anyway.

This case wants to test passing a bad refname to the "update" command. But it also passes too few arguments to "update", which muddles the situation: which error should be diagnosed?

2014-04-07update-ref --stdin -z: deprecate interpreting the empty string as zerosLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+3
In the original version of this command, for the single case of the "update" command's <newvalue>, the empty string was interpreted as being equivalent to 40 "0"s. This shorthand is unnecessary (binary input will usually be generated programmatically anyway), and it complicates the parser and the documentation. So gently deprecate this usage: remove its description from the documentation and emit a warning if it is found. But for reasons of backwards compatibility, continue to accept it.

2014-04-07update-ref.c: extract a new function, parse_next_sha1()Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+1
Replace three functions, update_store_new_sha1(), update_store_old_sha1(), and parse_next_arg(), with a single function, parse_next_sha1(). The new function takes care of a whole argument, including checking whether it is there, converting it to an SHA-1, and emitting errors on EOF or for invalid values. The return value indicates whether the argument was present or absent, which requires a bit of intelligence because absent values are represented differently depending on whether "-z" was used. The new interface means that the calling functions, parse_cmd_*(), don't have to interpret the result differently based on the line_termination mode that is in effect. It also means that parse_cmd_create() can distinguish unambiguously between an empty new value and a zeros new value, which fixes a failure in t1400.

2014-04-07parse_arg(): really test that argument is properly terminatedLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+2
The old parse_arg(), when fed an argument "refs/heads/a"master parsed 'refs/heads/a' off of the front of the argument and considered itself successful. It was only when parse_next_arg() tried to parse the *next* argument that a problem was noticed. But in fact, the definition of the input format requires arguments to be terminated by SP or NUL, so *this* argument is already erroneous and parse_arg() should diagnose the problem. So teach parse_arg() to verify that C-quoted arguments are terminated correctly. If not, emit a more specific error message. There is no corresponding error case of a non-C-quoted argument that is not terminated correctly, because the end of a non-quoted argument is *by definition* a space or NUL, so there is no way to insert other junk between the "end" of the argument and the argument terminator. Adjust the tests to expect the new error message. Add a docstring to the function, incorporating the comments that were formerly within the function plus some added information.

So rename the test s/zero/empty/, and change the expected error from fatal: create $c given zero new value to fatal: create $c missing <newvalue> Of course, this makes the test fail now, because although "git update-ref" tries to distinguish between these two errors, it does not succeed in this situation.

2008-07-08avoid null SHA1 in oldest reflogLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+8
When the user specifies a ref by a reflog entry older than one we have (e.g., "HEAD@{20 years ago"}), we issue a warning and give them the "from" value of the oldest reflog entry. That is, we say "we don't know what happened before this entry, but before this we know we had some particular SHA1". However, the oldest reflog entry is often a creation event such as clone or branch creation. In this case, the entry claims that the ref went from "00000..." (the null sha1) to the new value, and the reflog lookup returns the null sha1. While this is technically correct (the entry tells us that the ref didn't exist at the specified time) it is not terribly useful to the end user. What they probably want instead is "the oldest useful sha1 that this ref ever had". This patch changes the behavior such that if the oldest ref would return the null sha1, it instead returns the first value the ref ever had. We never discovered this problem in the test scripts because we created "fake" reflogs that had only a specified segment of history. This patch updates the tests with a creation event at the beginning of history. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2008-02-01Sane use of test_expect_failureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+12
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests run a series of commands that leads to the single command that needs to be tested, like this: test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && what is to be tested ' And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands. This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is tested, like this: test_expect_success 'test title' ' setup1 && setup2 && setup3 && ! this command should fail ' test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can write a test like this: test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' ' rm -f bar && git foo && test -f bar ' This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

2008-01-16Be more careful about updating refsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-6/+13
This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it cannot find. Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on. So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that. The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at nonexistant bogus objects.

2007-01-19Extend read_ref_at() to be usable from places other than sha1_name.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
You can pass an extra argument to the function to receive the reflog message information. Also when the log does not go back beyond the point the user asked, the cut-off time and count are given back to the caller for emitting the error messages as appropriately. We could later add configuration for get_sha1_basic() to make it an error instead of it being just a warning. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-15Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+2
New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2). So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless the user specifically disables it with: [core] logAllRefUpdates = false in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig. We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push. This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio. Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior. We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects' lost+found features.

2006-09-17Fix t1400-update-ref test minimallyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+2
It depended on specific error messages to detect failure but the implementation changed and broke the test. This fixes the breakage minimally. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
