2020-07-28strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array nameLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+6
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is reasonably sized. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

2020-06-10fetch-pack: support more than one pack lockfileLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-6/+8
Whenever a fetch results in a packfile being downloaded, a .keep file is generated, so that the packfile can be preserved (from, say, a running "git repack") until refs are written referring to the contents of the packfile. In a subsequent patch, a successful fetch using protocol v2 may result in more than one .keep file being generated. Therefore, teach fetch_pack() and the transport mechanism to support multiple .keep files. Implementation notes: - builtin/fetch-pack.c normally does not generate .keep files, and thus is unaffected by this or future changes. However, it has an undocumented "--lock-pack" feature, used by remote-curl.c when implementing the "fetch" remote helper command. In keeping with the remote helper protocol, only one "lock" line will ever be written; the rest will result in warnings to stderr. However, in practice, warnings will never be written because the remote-curl.c "fetch" is only used for protocol v0/v1 (which will not generate multiple .keep files). (Protocol v2 uses the "stateless-connect" command, not the "fetch" command.) - connected.c has an optimization in that connectivity checks on a ref need not be done if the target object is in a pack known to be self-contained and connected. If there are multiple packfiles, this optimization can no longer be done. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-05-24stateless-connect: send response end packetLibravatar Denton Liu1-1/+2
Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes. This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate: $ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected: $ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012 Cloning into 'git'... fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each response ends as described. A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

2020-05-19transport: extract common fetch_pack() callLibravatar Denton Liu1-17/+8
In the switch statement, the difference between the `protocol_v2` and `protocol_v{1,0}` arms is a preparatory call to die_if_server_options() in the latter. The fetch_pack() call is identical in both arms. However, since this fetch_pack() call has so many parameters, it is not immediately obvious that the call is identical in both cases. Extract the common fetch_pack() call out of the switch statement so that code duplication is reduced and the logic is more clear for future readers.

2020-04-17send-pack: mark failure of atomic push properlyLibravatar Jiang Xin1-14/+0
When pushing with SSH or other smart protocol, references are validated by function `check_to_send_update()` before they are sent in commands to `send_pack()` of "receve-pack". For atomic push, if a reference is rejected after the validation, only references pushed by user should be marked as failure, instead of report failure on all remote references. Commit v2.22.0-1-g3bca1e7f9f (transport-helper: enforce atomic in push_refs_with_push, 2019-07-11) wanted to fix report issue of HTTP protocol, but marked all remote references failure for atomic push. In order to fix the issue of status report for SSH or other built-in smart protocol, revert part of that commit and add additional status for function `atomic_push_failure()`. The additional status for it except the "REF_STATUS_EXPECTING_REPORT" status are: - REF_STATUS_NONE : Not marked as "REF_STATUS_EXPECTING_REPORT" yet. - REF_STATUS_OK : Assume OK for dryrun or status_report is disabled. This fix won't resolve the issue of status report in transport-helper for HTTP or other protocols, and breaks test case in t5541. Will fix it in additional commit.

2020-04-17send-pack: fix inconsistent porcelain outputLibravatar Jiang Xin1-1/+9
The porcelain output of a failed `git-push` command is inconsistent for different protocols. For example, the following `git-push` command may fail due to the failure of the `pre-receive` hook. git push --porcelain origin HEAD:refs/heads/master For SSH protocol, the porcelain output does not end with a "Done" message: To <URL/of/upstream.git> ! HEAD:refs/heads/master [remote rejected] (pre-receive hook declined) While for HTTP protocol, the porcelain output does end with a "Done" message: To <URL/of/upstream.git> ! HEAD:refs/heads/master [remote rejected] (pre-receive hook declined) Done The following code at the end of function `send_pack()` indicates that `send_pack()` should not return an error if some references are rejected in porcelain mode. int send_pack(...) ... ... if (args->porcelain) return 0; for (ref = remote_refs; ref; ref = ref->next) { switch (ref->status) { case REF_STATUS_NONE: case REF_STATUS_UPTODATE: case REF_STATUS_OK: break; default: return -1; } } return 0; } So if atomic push failed, must check the porcelain mode before return an error. And `receive_status()` should not return an error for a failed updated reference, because `send_pack()` will check them instead.

2020-03-30oid_array: rename source file from sha1-arrayLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We renamed the actual data structure in 910650d2f8 (Rename sha1_array to oid_array, 2017-03-31), but the file is still called sha1-array. Besides being slightly confusing, it makes it more annoying to grep for leftover occurrences of "sha1" in various files, because the header is included in so many places. Let's complete the transition by renaming the source and header files (and fixing up a few comment references). I kept the "-" in the name, as that seems to be our style; cf. fc1395f4a4 (sha1_file.c: rename to use dash in file name, 2018-04-10). We also have oidmap.h and oidset.h without any punctuation, but those are "struct oidmap" and "struct oidset" in the code. We _could_ make this "oidarray" to match, but somehow it looks uglier to me because of the length of "array" (plus it would be a very invasive patch for little gain).

2020-01-08transport: don't flush when disconnecting stateless-rpc helperLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Since ba227857d2 (Reduce the number of connects when fetching, 2008-02-04), when we disconnect a git transport, we send a final flush packet. This cleanly tells the other side that we're done, and avoids the other side complaining "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" (though we'd only see that for transports that pass along the server stderr, like ssh or local-host). But when we've initiated a v2 stateless-connect session over a transport helper, there's no point in sending this flush packet. Each operation we've performed is self-contained, and the other side is fine with us hanging up between operations. But much worse, by sending the flush packet we may cause the helper to issue an entirely new request _just_ to send the flush packet. So we can incur an extra network request just to say "by the way, we have nothing more to send". Let's drop this extra flush packet. As the test shows, this reduces the number of POSTs required for a v2 ls-remote over http from 2 to 1. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Asking the server end to uphold atomicity wouldn't work here as the server doesn't have any idea that we tried to update a ref that's broken. The added test-case is a succinct way to reproduce this issue that fails today.

2019-07-01object-store.h: move for_each_alternate_ref() from transport.hLibravatar Jeff King1-97/+0
There's nothing inherently transport-related about enumerating the alternate ref tips. The code has lived in transport.[ch] because the only use so far had been advertising available tips during transport. But it could be used for more, and a future patch will teach rev-list to access these refs. Let's move it alongside the other alt-odb code, declaring it in object-store.h with the implementation in sha1-file.c. This lets us drop the inclusion of transport.h from receive-pack, which perhaps shows how it was misplaced (though receive-pack is about transporting objects, transport.h is mostly about the client side).

2019-06-28list-objects-filter-options: allow mult. --filterLibravatar Matthew DeVore1-0/+1
Allow combining of multiple filters by simply repeating the --filter flag. Before this patch, the user had to combine them in a single flag somewhat awkwardly (e.g. --filter=combine:FOO+BAR), including URL-encoding the individual filters. To make this work, in the --filter flag parsing callback, rather than error out when we detect that the filter_options struct is already populated, we modify it in-place to contain the added sub-filter. The existing sub-filter becomes the lhs of the combined filter, and the next sub-filter becomes the rhs. We also have to URL-encode the LHS and RHS sub-filters. We can simplify the operation if the LHS is already a combine: filter. In that case, we just append the URL-encoded RHS sub-filter to the LHS spec to get the new spec.

2019-01-02pack-protocol.txt: accept error packets in any contextLibravatar Masaya Suzuki1-1/+2
In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow an error packet to be sent instead of any packet. Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected EOF. Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code considering this.

2018-10-09transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+5
The recently-introduced "core.alternateRefsCommand" allows callers to specify with high flexibility the tips that they wish to advertise from alternates. This flexibility comes at the cost of some inconvenience when the caller only wishes to limit the advertisement to one or more prefixes. For example, to advertise only tags, a caller using 'core.alternateRefsCommand' would have to do: $ git config core.alternateRefsCommand ' \ f() { git -C "$1" for-each-ref \ refs/tags --format="%(objectname)" }; f "$@"' The above is cumbersome to write, so let's introduce a "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" to address this common case. Instead, the caller can run: $ git config core.alternateRefsPrefixes 'refs/tags' Which will behave identically to the longer example using "core.alternateRefsCommand". Since the value of "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" is appended to 'git for-each-ref' and then executed, include a "--" before taking the configured value to avoid misinterpreting arguments as flags to 'git for-each-ref'. In the case that the caller wishes to specify multiple prefixes, they may separate them by whitespace. If "core.alternateRefsCommand" is set, it will take precedence over "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".

2018-10-09transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsCommandLibravatar Taylor Blau1-4/+15
When in a repository containing one or more alternates, Git would sometimes like to list references from those alternates. For example, 'git receive-pack' lists the "tips" pointed to by references in those alternates as special ".have" references. Listing ".have" references is designed to make pushing changes from upstream to a fork a lightweight operation, by advertising to the pusher that the fork already has the objects (via its alternate). Thus, the client can avoid sending them. However, when the alternate (upstream, in the previous example) has a pathologically large number of references, the initial advertisement is too expensive. In fact, it can dominate any such optimization where the pusher avoids sending certain objects. Introduce "core.alternateRefsCommand" in order to provide a facility to limit or filter alternate references. This can be used, for example, to filter out references the alternate does not wish to send (for space concerns, or otherwise) during the initial advertisement. Let the repository that has alternates configure this command to avoid trusting the alternate to provide us a safe command to run in the shell. To find the alternate, pass its absolute path as the first argument. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-10-09transport.c: extract 'fill_alternate_refs_command'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-6/+12
To list alternate references, 'read_alternate_refs' creates a child process running 'git for-each-ref' in the alternate's Git directory. Prepare to run other commands besides 'git for-each-ref' by introducing and moving the relevant code from 'read_alternate_refs' to 'fill_alternate_refs_command'.

2018-10-09transport: drop refnames from for_each_alternate_refLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
None of the current callers use the refname parameter we pass to their callbacks. In theory somebody _could_ do so, but it's actually quite weird if you think about it: it's a ref in somebody else's repository. So the name has no meaning locally, and in fact there may be duplicates if there are multiple alternates. The users of this interface really only care about seeing some ref tips, since that promises that the alternate has the full commit graph reachable from there. So let's keep the information we pass back to the bare minimum.

2018-10-07transport: list refs before fetch if necessaryLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+12
The built-in bundle transport and the transport helper interface do not work when transport_fetch_refs() is called immediately after transport creation. This will be needed in a subsequent patch, so fix this. Evidence: fetch_refs_from_bundle() relies on data->header being initialized in get_refs_from_bundle(), and fetch() in transport-helper.c relies on either data->fetch or data->import being set by get_helper(), but neither transport_helper_init() nor fetch() calls get_helper(). Up until the introduction of the partial clone feature, this has not been a problem, because transport_fetch_refs() is always called after transport_get_remote_refs(). With the introduction of the partial clone feature, which involves calling transport_fetch_refs() (to fetch objects by their OIDs) without transport_get_remote_refs(), this is still not a problem, but only coincidentally - we do not support partially cloning a bundle, and as for cloning using a transport-helper-using protocol, it so happens that before transport_fetch_refs() is called, fetch_refs() in fetch-object.c calls transport_set_option(), which means that the aforementioned get_helper() is invoked through set_helper_option() in transport-helper.c. This could be fixed by fixing the transports themselves, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to me to open up previously untested code paths; also, there may be transport helpers in the wild that assume that "list" is always called before "fetch". Instead, fix this by having transport_fetch_refs() call transport_get_remote_refs() to ensure that the latter is always called at least once, unless the transport explicitly states that it supports fetching without listing refs.

2018-10-07transport: do not list refs if possibleLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-2/+11
When all refs to be fetched are exact OIDs, it is possible to perform a fetch without requiring the remote to list refs if protocol v2 is used. Teach Git to do this. This currently has an effect only for lazy fetches done from partial clones. The change necessary to likewise optimize "git fetch <remote> <sha-1>" will be done in a subsequent patch.

2018-10-07transport: allow skipping of ref listingLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-4/+25
The get_refs_via_connect() function both performs the handshake (including determining the protocol version) and obtaining the list of remote refs. However, the fetch protocol v2 supports fetching objects without the listing of refs, so make it possible for the user to skip the listing by creating a new handshake() function. This will be used in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-08-29convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run, give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete noop with respect to the generated code. The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances here). This patch was generated almost entirely by the included coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()" separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the two are treated equivalently. I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).
