2016-08-08Merge branch 'nd/fbsd-lazy-mtime'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+16
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
2016-08-04t7063: work around FreeBSD's lazy mtime update featureLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+16
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.

2016-06-17tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positivesLibravatar Vasco Almeida1-1/+1
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.

2016-01-27t7063: add tests for core.untrackedCacheLibravatar Christian Couder1-4/+81

2016-01-27config: add core.untrackedCacheLibravatar Christian Couder1-3/+1
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.

2015-10-19t7063: fix flaky untracked-cache testLibravatar David Turner1-1/+3
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.

2015-08-19untracked cache: fix entry invalidationLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+27
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.

2015-08-19untracked-cache: fix subdirectory handlingLibravatar David Turner1-1/+71
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.

2015-08-19t7063: use --force-untracked-cache to speed up a bitLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
When in the middle of t7063, we are sure untracked cache is supported, so we can use --force-untracked-cache to skip the support detection phase and save a few seconds. It's also good that --force-untracked-cache is exercised in the test suite. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-05-27t7063: hide stderr from setup inside prereqLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+6
When t7063 starts, it runs "update-index --untracked-cache" to see if we support the untracked cache. Its output goes straight to stderr, even if the test is not run with "-v". Let's wrap it in a prereq that will hide the output by default, but show it with "-v". Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
