It turns out the t7063 has some testcases that even without using the
untracked cache cover situations that nothing else in the testsuite
handles. Checking the results of
git status --porcelain
both with and without the untracked cache, and comparing both against
our expected results helped uncover a critical bug in some dir.c
restructuring.
Unfortunately, it's not easy to run status and tell it to ignore the
untracked cache; the only knob we have is core.untrackedCache=false,
which is used to instruct git to *delete* the untracked cache (which
might also ignore the untracked cache when it operates, but that isn't
specified in the docs).
Create a simple helper that will create a clone of the index that is
missing the untracked cache bits, and use it to compare that the results
with the untracked cache match the results we get without the untracked
cache.

Many messages will be marked for translation in the following
commits. This commit updates some of them to be more consistent and
reduce diff noise in those commits. Changes are
- keep the first letter of die(), error() and warning() in lowercase
- no full stop in die(), error() or warning() if it's single sentence
messages
- indentation
- some messages are turned to BUG(), or prefixed with "BUG:" and will
not be marked for i18n
- some messages are improved to give more information
- some messages are broken down by sentence to be i18n friendly
(on the same token, combine multiple warning() into one big string)
- the trailing \n is converted to printf_ln if possible, or deleted
if not redundant
- errno_errno() is used instead of explicit strerror()

Writing out the index file when the only thing that changed in it
is the untracked cache information is often wasteful, and this has
been optimized out.
* bp/untracked-cache-noflush:
untracked cache: use git_env_bool() not getenv() for customization
dir.c: don't flag the index as dirty for changes to the untracked cache
|
|
GIT_DISABLE_UNTRACKED_CACHE and GIT_TEST_UNTRACKED_CACHE are only
sensed for their presense by using getenv(); use git_env_bool()
instead so that GIT_DISABLE_UNTRACKED_CACHE=false would work as
naïvely expected.
Also rename GIT_TEST_UNTRACKED_CACHE to GIT_FORCE_UNTRACKED_CACHE
to express what it does more honestly. Forcing its use may be one
useful thing to do while testing the feature, but testing does not
have to be the only use of the knob.
While at it, avoid repeated calls to git_env_bool() by capturing the
return value from the first call in a static variable.

The untracked cache saves its current state in the UNTR index extension.
Currently, _any_ change to that state causes the index to be flagged as dirty
and written out to disk. Unfortunately, the cost to write out the index can
exceed the savings gained by using the untracked cache. Since it is a cache
that can be updated from the current state of the working directory, there is
no functional requirement that the index be written out for every change to the
untracked cache.
Update the untracked cache logic so that it no longer forces the index to be
written to disk except in the case where the extension is being turned on or
off. When some other git command requires the index to be written to disk, the
untracked cache will take advantage of that to save it's updated state as well.
This results in a performance win when looked at over common sequences of git
commands (ie such as a status followed by add, commit, etc).
After this patch, all the logic to track statistics for the untracked cache
could be removed as it is only used by debug tracing used to debug the untracked
cache.

Let's start with how create a new directory cache after the last one
becomes invalid (e.g. because its dir mtime has changed...). In
open_cached_dir():
1. We start out with valid_cached_dir() returning false, which should
call invalidate_directory() to put a directory state back to
initial state, no untracked entries (untracked_nr zero), no sub
directory traversal (dirs[].recurse zero).
2. Since the cache cannot be used, we go the slow path opendir() and
go through items one by one via readdir(). All the directories on
disk will be added back to the cache (if not already exist in
dirs[]) and its flag "recurse" gets changed to one to note that
it's part of the cached dir travesal next time.
3. By the time we reach close_cached_dir() we should have a good
subdir list in dirs[]. Those with "recurse" flag set are the ones
present in the on-disk directory. The directory is now marked
"valid".
Next time read_directory() is called, since the directory is marked
valid, it will skip readdir(), go fast path and traverse through
dirs[] array instead.
Steps one and two need some tight cooperation. If a subdir is removed,
readdir() will not find it and of course we cannot examine/invalidate
it. To make sure removed directories on disk are gone from the cache,
step one must make sure recurse flag of all subdirs are zero.
But that's not true. If "valid" flag is already false, there is a
chance we go straight to the end of valid_cached_dir() without calling
invalidate_directory(). Or we fail to meet the "if (untracked-valid)"
condition and skip over the invalidate_directory().
After step 3, we mark the cache valid. Any stale subdir with incorrect
recurse flag becomes a real subdir next time we traverse the directory
using dirs[] array.
We could avoid this by making sure invalidate_directory() is always
called (therefore dirs[].recurse cleared) at the beginning of
open_cached_dir(). Which is what this patch does.
As to how we get into this situation, the key in the test is this
command
git checkout master
where "one/file" is replaced with "one" in the index. This index
update triggers untracked_cache_invalidate_path(), which clears valid
flag of the root directory while keeping "recurse" flag on the subdir
"one" on. On the next git-status, we go through steps 1-3 above and
save an incorrect cache on disk. The second git-status blindly follows
the bad cache data and shows the problem.
This is arguably because of a bad design where "recurse" flag plays
double roles: whether a directory should be saved on disk, and whether
it is part of a directory traversal.
We need to keep recurse flag set at "checkout master" because of the
first role: we need to keep subdir caches (dir "two" for example has
not been touched at all, no reason to throw its cache away).
As long as we make sure to ignore/reset "recurse" flag at the
beginning of a directory traversal, we're good. But maybe eventually
we should separate these two roles.

The untracked cache gets confused when a directory is swapped out for
a file. It is easiest to reproduce this by swapping out a directory
with a symlink to another directory, and as the tests show the symlink
case is the only case we've found where "git status" will subsequently
report incorrect information, even though it's possible to otherwise
get the untracked cache into a state where its internal data
structures don't reflect reality.
In the symlink case, whatever files are inside the target of the
symlink will be incorrectly shown as untracked. This issue does not
happen if the symlink links to another file, only if it links to
another directory.
A stand-alone testcase for copying into a terminal:
(
rm -rf /tmp/testrepo &&
git init /tmp/testrepo &&
cd /tmp/testrepo &&
mkdir x y &&
touch x/a y/b &&
git add x/a y/b &&
git commit -msnap &&
git rm -rf y &&
ln -s x y &&
git add y &&
git commit -msnap2 &&
git checkout HEAD~ &&
git status &&
git checkout master &&
sleep 1 &&
git status &&
git status
)
This will incorrectly show y/a as an untracked file. Both the "git
status" call right before "git checkout master" and the "sleep 1"
after the "checkout master" are needed to reproduce this, presumably
due to the untracked cache tracking on the basis of cached whole
seconds from stat(2).
When git gets into this state, a workaround to fix it is to issue a
one-off:
git -c core.untrackedCache=false status
For the non-symlink case, the bug is that the output of
test-dump-untracked-cache should not include:
/one/ 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 recurse valid
It being in the output implies that cached traversal of root includes
the directory "one" which does not exist on disk anymore.

Make git checkout (and other unpack_tree operations) preserve the
untracked cache. This is valuable for two reasons:
1. Often, an unpack_tree operation will not touch large parts of the
working tree, and thus most of the untracked cache will continue to be
valid.
2. Even if the untracked cache were entirely invalidated by such an
operation, the user has signaled their intention to have such a cache,
and we don't want to throw it away.

FreeBSD can lie when asked mtime of a directory, which made the
untracked cache code to fall back to a slow-path, which in turn
caused tests in t7063 to fail because it wanted to verify the
behaviour of the fast-path.
* nd/fbsd-lazy-mtime:
t7063: work around FreeBSD's lazy mtime update feature
|
|
Let's start with the commit message of [1] from freebsd.git [2]
Sync timestamp changes for inodes of special files to disk as late
as possible (when the inode is reclaimed). Temporarily only do
this if option UFS_LAZYMOD configured and softupdates aren't
enabled. UFS_LAZYMOD is intentionally left out of
/sys/conf/options.
This is mainly to avoid almost useless disk i/o on battery powered
machines. It's silly to write to disk (on the next sync or when
the inode becomes inactive) just because someone hit a key or
something wrote to the screen or /dev/null.
PR: 5577 [3]
The short version of that, in the context of t7063, is that when a
directory is updated, its mtime may be updated later, not
immediately. This can be shown with a simple command sequence
date; sleep 1; touch abc; rm abc; sleep 10; ls -lTd .
One would expect that the date shown in `ls` would be one second from
`date`, but it's 10 seconds later. If we put another `ls -lTd .` in
front of `sleep 10`, then the date of the last `ls` comes as
expected. The first `ls` somehow forces mtime to be updated.
t7063 is really sensitive to directory mtime. When mtime is too "new",
git code suspects racy timestamps and will not trigger the shortcut in
untracked cache, in t7063.24 and eventually be detected in t7063.27
We have two options thanks to this special FreeBSD feature:
1) Stop supporting untracked cache on FreeBSD. Skip t7063 entirely
when running on FreeBSD
2) Work around this problem (using the same 'ls' trick) and continue
to support untracked cache on FreeBSD
I initially wanted to go with 1) because I didn't know the exact
nature of this feature and feared that it would make untracked cache
work unreliably, using the cached version when it should not.
Since the behavior of this thing is clearer now. The picture is not
that bad. If this indeed happens often, untracked cache would assume
racy condition more often and _fall back_ to non-untracked cache code
paths. Which means it may be less effective, but it will not show
wrong things.
This patch goes with option 2.
PS. For those who want to look further in FreeBSD source code, this
flag is now called IN_LAZYMOD. I can see it's effective in ext2 and
ufs. zfs is not affected.

The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run
under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is
correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings
newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are
indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be
unmarked, since it is not seen by users.
Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test
under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by
their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for
translation, suppressing false positives.

When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

Dirty the test worktree's root directory, as the test expects.
When testing the untracked-cache, we previously assumed that checking
out master would be sufficient to mark the mtime of the worktree's
root directory as racily-dirty. But sometimes, the checkout would
happen at 12345.999 seconds and the status at 12346.001 seconds,
meaning that the worktree's root directory would not be racily-dirty.
And since it was not truly dirty, occasionally the test would fail.
By making the root truly dirty, the test will always succeed.
Tested by running a few hundred times.

First, the current code in untracked_cache_invalidate_path() is wrong
because it can only handle paths "a" or "a/b", not "a/b/c" because
lookup_untracked() only looks for entries directly under the given
directory. In the last case, it will look for the entry "b/c" in
directory "a" instead. This means if you delete or add an entry in a
subdirectory, untracked cache may become out of date because it does not
invalidate properly. This is noticed by David Turner.
The second problem is about invalidation inside a fully untracked/excluded
directory. In this case we may have to invalidate back to root. See the
comment block for detail.

Previously, some calls lookup_untracked would pass a full path. But
lookup_untracked assumes that the portion of the path up to and
including to the untracked_cache_dir has been removed. So
lookup_untracked would be looking in the untracked_cache for 'foo' for
'foo/bar' (instead of just looking for 'bar'). This would cause
untracked cache corruption.
Instead, treat_directory learns to track the base length of the parent
directory, so that only the last path component is passed to
lookup_untracked.

When t7063 starts, it runs "update-index --untracked-cache"
to see if we support the untracked cache. Its output goes

Let's wrap it in a prereq that will hide the output by
default, but show it with "-v".
