* jc/maint-smart-http-race-upload-pack: helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch race
2011-08-08helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch raceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+98
A request to fetch from a client over smart HTTP protocol is served in multiple steps. In the first round, the server side shows the set of refs it has and their values, and the client picks from them and sends "I want to fetch the history leading to these commits". When the server tries to respond to this second request, its refs may have progressed by a push from elsewhere. By design, we do not allow fetching objects that are not at the tip of an advertised ref, and the server rejects such a request. The client needs to try again, which is not ideal especially for a busy server. Teach upload-pack (which is the workhorse driven by git-daemon and smart http server interface) that it is OK for a smart-http client to ask for commits that are not at the tip of any advertised ref, as long as they are reachable from advertised refs.

2011-07-11ref namespaces: Support remote repositories via upload-pack and receive-packLibravatar Josh Triplett1-7/+8
Change upload-pack and receive-pack to use the namespace-prefixed refs when working with the repository, and use the unprefixed refs when talking to the client, maintaining the masquerade. This allows clone, pull, fetch, and push to work with a suitably configured GIT_NAMESPACE. receive-pack advertises refs outside the current namespace as .have refs (as it currently does for refs in alternates), so that the client can use them to minimize data transfer but will otherwise ignore them. With appropriate configuration, this also allows http-backend to expose namespaces as multiple repositories with different paths. This only requires setting GIT_NAMESPACE, which http-backend passes through to upload-pack and receive-pack.

* jk/maint-upload-pack-shallow: upload-pack: start pack-objects before async rev-list
2011-04-06upload-pack: start pack-objects before async rev-listLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+11
In a pthread-enabled version of upload-pack, there's a race condition that can cause a deadlock on the fflush(NULL) we call from run-command. What happens is this: 1. Upload-pack is informed we are doing a shallow clone. 2. We call start_async() to spawn a thread that will generate rev-list results to feed to pack-objects. It gets a file descriptor to a pipe which will eventually hook to pack-objects. 3. The rev-list thread uses fdopen to create a new output stream around the fd we gave it, called pack_pipe. 4. The thread writes results to pack_pipe. Outside of our control, libc is doing locking on the stream. We keep writing until the OS pipe buffer is full, and then we block in write(), still holding the lock. 5. The main thread now uses start_command to spawn pack-objects. Before forking, it calls fflush(NULL) to flush every stdio output buffer. It blocks trying to get the lock on pack_pipe. And we have a deadlock. The thread will block until somebody starts reading from the pipe. But nobody will read from the pipe until we finish flushing to the pipe. To fix this, we swap the start order: we start the pack-objects reader first, and then the rev-list writer after. Thus the problematic fflush(NULL) happens before we even open the new file descriptor (and even if it didn't, flushing should no longer block, as the reader at the end of the pipe is now active).

2011-03-15upload-pack: Implement no-done capabilityLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+16
If the client requests both multi_ack_detailed and no-done then upload-pack is free to immediately send a PACK following its first 'ACK %s ready' message. The upload-pack response actually winds up being: ACK %s common ... (maybe more) ... ACK %s ready NAK ACK %s PACK.... the pack stream .... For smart HTTP connections this saves one HTTP RPC, reducing the overall latency for a trivial fetch. For git:// and ssh:// a no-done option slightly reduces latency by removing one server->client->server round-trip at the end of the common ancestor negotiation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2011-03-14upload-pack: More aggressively send 'ACK %s ready'Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+9
If a client is merely following the remote (and has not made any new commits itself), all "have %s" lines sent by the client will be common to the server. As all lines are common upload-pack never calls ok_to_give_up() and does not compute if it has a good cut point in the commit graph. Without this computation the following client is going to send all tagged commits, as these were determined to be COMMON_REF during the initial advertisement, but the client does not parse their history to transitively pass the COMMON flag and empty its queue of commits. For git.git with 339 commit tags, it takes clients 11 rounds of negotation to fully send all tagged commits and exhaust its queue of things to send as common. This is pretty slow for a client that has not done any local development activity. Force computing ok_to_give_up() and send "ACK %s ready" at the end of the current round if this round only contained common objects and ok_to_give_up() was therefore not called. This may allow the client to break early, avoiding transmission of the COMMON_REFs. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-03-08add packet tracing debug codeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
This shows a trace of all packets coming in or out of a given program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or other protocol issues. To keep the code changes simple, we operate at the lowest level, meaning we don't necessarily understand what's in the packets. The one exception is a packet starting with "PACK", which causes us to skip that packet and turn off tracing (since the gigantic pack data will not be interesting to read, at least not in the trace format). We show both written and read packets. In the local case, this may mean you will see packets twice (written by the sender and read by the receiver). However, for cases where the other end is remote, this allows you to see the full conversation. Packet tracing can be enabled with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=<foo>, where <foo> takes the same arguments as GIT_TRACE.

This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file descriptors for async process communication instead of the default-created pipe. Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write file descriptors. To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command, we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file descriptor to the async process. [sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is his work.

2009-11-13give priority to progress messagesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-15/+17
In theory it is possible for sideband channel #2 to be delayed if pack data is quick to come up for sideband channel #1. And because data for channel #2 is read only 128 bytes at a time while pack data is read 8192 bytes at a time, it is possible for many pack blocks to be sent to the client before the progress message fifo is emptied, making the situation even worse. This would result in totally garbled progress display on the client's console as local progress gets mixed with partial remote progress lines. Let's prevent such situations by giving transmission priority to progress messages over pack data at all times.

2009-11-04Add stateless RPC options to upload-pack, receive-packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-4/+36
When --stateless-rpc is passed as a command line parameter to upload-pack or receive-pack the programs now assume they may perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout. This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit. When --advertise-refs is passed as a command line parameter only the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits immediately. This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where no request content is received but a response must be produced. HTTP headers and/or environment are not processed here, but instead are assumed to be handled by the program invoking either service backend. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-10-30Add multi_ack_detailed capability to fetch-pack/upload-packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-13/+18
When multi_ack_detailed is enabled the ACK continue messages returned by the remote upload-pack are broken out to describe the different states within the peer. This permits the client to better understand the server's in-memory state. The fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol now looks like: NAK --------------------------------- Always sent in response to "done" if there was no common base selected from the "have" lines (or no have lines were sent). * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Sent when the client has sent a pkt-line flush ("0000") and the server has not yet found a common base object. * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Always sent in response to a pkt-line flush. ACK %s ----------------------------------- * no multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Sent in response to "have" when the object exists on the remote side and is therefore an object in common between the peers. The argument is the SHA-1 of the common object. * either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed: Sent in response to "done" if there are common objects. The argument is the last SHA-1 determined to be common. ACK %s continue ----------------------------------- * multi_ack only: Sent in response to "have". The remote side wants the client to consider this object as common, and immediately stop transmitting additional "have" lines for objects that are reachable from it. The reason the client should stop is not given, but is one of the two cases below available under multi_ack_detailed. ACK %s common ----------------------------------- * multi_ack_detailed only: Sent in response to "have". Both sides have this object. Like with "ACK %s continue" above the client should stop sending have lines reachable for objects from the argument. ACK %s ready ----------------------------------- * multi_ack_detailed only: Sent in response to "have". The client should stop transmitting objects which are reachable from the argument, and send "done" soon to get the objects. If the remote side has the specified object, it should first send an "ACK %s common" message prior to sending "ACK %s ready". Clients may still submit additional "have" lines if there are more side branches for the client to explore that might be added to the common set and reduce the number of objects to transfer.

In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers, 2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this: - write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5); + + strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n"); + write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len); + strbuf_reset(&buf); IMHO, it would be better to define a new function, static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str) { return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str)); } and then use it like this: - strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n"); - write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len); - strbuf_reset(&buf); + write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n"); Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding the maintenance risk of literal string lengths. These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal") imposes no run-time cost.

2009-09-05make shallow repository deepening more network efficientLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-2/+6
First of all, I can't find any reason why thin pack generation is explicitly disabled when dealing with a shallow repository. The possible delta base objects are collected from the edge commits which are always obtained through history walking with the same shallow refs as the client, Therefore the client is always going to have those base objects available. So let's remove that restriction. Then we can make shallow repository deepening much more efficient by using the remote's unshallowed commits as edge commits to get preferred base objects for thin pack generation. On git.git, this makes the data transfer for the deepening of a shallow repository from depth 1 to depth 2 around 134 KB instead of 3.68 MB.

2009-08-28upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hookLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
A request to clone the repository does not give any "have" but asks for all the refs we offer with "want". When a request does not ask to clone the repository fully, but asks to fetch some refs into an empty repository, it will not give any "have" but its "want" won't ask for all the refs we offer. If we suppose (and I would say this is a rather big if) that it makes sense to distinguish these two cases, a hook cannot reliably do this alone. The hook can detect lack of "have" and bunch of "want", but there is no direct way to tell if the other end asked for all refs we offered, or merely most of them. Between the time we talked with the other end and the time the hook got called, we may have acquired more refs or lost some refs in the repository by concurrent operations. Given that we plan to introduce selective advertisement of refs with a protocol extension, it would become even more difficult for hooks to guess between these two cases. This adds "kind [clone|fetch]" to hook's input, as a stable interface to allow the hooks to tell these cases apart. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-04-12show_object(): push path_name() call further downLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+3
In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function would seem to allow - more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by calling path_name()) - not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component. Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the list of path components. Why? We use that name for two things: - add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters! - for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary work. Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether they want to generate a path-name or not. This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the straightforward "name = path_name(path, component); .. free(name);" thing.

Rather than add the objects to the object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a 'show' on all, just do things more incrementally. Now, there are possible downsides to this: - the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory.. - this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a "process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree object together with the objects we discover under it) I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for packing. Good or bad, I dunno. - There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object array, that I have simply forgotten. Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole traverse_commit_list() phase. This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but... Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it. Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-07list-objects: add "void *data" parameter to show functionsLibravatar Christian Couder1-3/+3
The goal of this patch is to get rid of the "static struct rev_info revs" static variable in "builtin-rev-list.c". To do that, we need to pass the revs to the "show_commit" function in "builtin-rev-list.c" and this in turn means that the "traverse_commit_list" function in "list-objects.c" must be passed functions pointers to functions with 2 parameters instead of one. So we have to change all the callers and all the functions passed to "traverse_commit_list". Anyway this makes the code more clean and more generic, so it should be a good thing in the long run.

2009-03-04improve missing repository error messageLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Certain remote commands, when asked to do something in a particular directory that was not actually a git repository, would say "unable to chdir or not a git archive". The "chdir" bit is an unnecessary detail, and the term "git archive" is much less common these days than "git repository". So let's switch them all to: fatal: '%s' does not appear to be a git repository Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Acked-by: Shawn O.
