lhchavez 231ca4fa 2021-02-23T19:33:34 Proof-of-concept for a more aggressive GIT_UNUSED() This adds a `-Wunused-result`-proof `GIT_UNUSED()`, just to demonstrate that it works. With this, sortedcache.h is now completely `GIT_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT`-annotated!

Edward Thomson e5851c62 2021-04-24T09:44:45 refs: ensure loose refs adhere to path validation On Windows, we need to enforce MAX_PATH for loose references and their reflogs. Ensure that any path - including the lock file - would fit within the 260 character maximum. We do not honor core.longpaths for loose reference files or reflogs. core.longpaths only applies to paths in the working directory.
David Turner 95b7a639 2021-04-14T21:52:36 git_reference_create_matching: Treat all-zero OID as "must be absent" This is pretty useful in avoiding races: I want to create a ref only if it doesn't already exist. I can't check first because of TOCTOU -- by the time I finish the check, someone else might have already created the ref. And I can't take a lock because then I can't do the create, since the create expects to take the lock. The semantics are inspired by git update-ref, which allows an all-zero old value to mean that the ref must not exist.
Edward Thomson 88323cd0 2021-03-20T09:52:17 path: git_path_isvalid -> git_path_validate If we want to validate more and different types of paths, the name `git_path_validate` makes that easier and more expressive. We can add, for example, `git_path_validate_foo` while the current name makes that less ergonomic.
panda 36232528 2021-02-16T13:08:02 refdb_fs: Check git_sortedcache wlock/rlock errors To prevent a race condition, these wlock/rlock calls should probably be checked for errors.
Edward Thomson 98a4f278 2020-04-05T21:38:42 refdb_fs: use GIT_ASSERT
Patrick Steinhardt 1f39593b 2020-06-30T08:53:59 refdb: extract function to check whether to append HEAD to the reflog The logic to determine whether a reflog entry should be for the HEAD reference is non-trivial. Currently, the only user of this is the filesystem-based refdb, but with the advent of the reftable refdb we're going to add a second user that's interested in having the same behaviour. Let's pull out a new function that checks whether a given reference should cause a entry to be written to the HEAD reflog as a preparatory step.

Edward Thomson 0f35efeb 2020-05-23T10:15:51 git_pool_init: handle failure cases Propagate failures caused by pool initialization errors.
Patrick Steinhardt 74e0489a 2020-03-24T19:42:10 refdb_fs: remove unused header file The "refdb_fs.h" header contains a single struct `git_refcache` that is not used anywhere. As a result, we can just delete the header altogether as it doesn't have any purpose and may confuse readers.
Patrick Steinhardt a2d3316a 2020-03-13T23:01:11 refdb_fs: initialize backend version While the `git_refdb_backend()` struct has a version, we do not initialize it correctly when calling `git_refdb_backend_fs()`. Fix this by adding the call to `git_refdb_init_backend()`.
Etienne Samson 97b8491b 2019-12-08T15:25:52 refs: rename git_reference__set_name to git_reference__realloc As git_reference__name will reallocate storage to account for longer names (it's actually allocator-dependent), it will cause all existing pointers to the old object to become dangling, as they now point to freed memory. Fix the issue by renaming to a more descriptive name, and pass a pointer to the actual reference that can safely be invalidated if the realloc succeeds.
Patrick Steinhardt 7968e90f 2019-10-18T12:33:07 refdb_fs: properly parse corrupted reflogs In previous versions, libgit2 could be coerced into writing reflog messages with embedded newlines into the reflog by using `git_stash_save` with a message containing newlines. While the root cause is fixed now, it was noticed that upstream git is in fact able to read such corrupted reflog messages just fine. Make the reflog parser more lenient in order to just skip over malformatted reflog lines to bring us in line with git. This requires us to change an existing test that verified that we do indeed _fail_ to parse such logs.
Patrick Steinhardt 8532ed11 2019-10-18T12:14:19 refdb_fs: convert reflog parsing to use parser The refdb_fs code to parse the reflog currently uses a hand-rolled parser. Convert it to use our `git_parse_ctx` structure instead.
Patrick Steinhardt d8233feb 2019-10-18T09:24:14 reflog: allow adding entries with newlines in their message Currently, the reflog disallows any entries that have a message with newlines, as that would effectively break the reflog format, which may contain a single line per entry, only. Upstream git behaves a bit differently, though, especially when considering stashes: instead of rejecting any reflog entry with newlines, git will simply replace newlines with spaces. E.g. executing 'git stash push -m "foo\nbar"' will create a reflog entry with "foo bar" as entry message. This commit adjusts our own logic to stop rejecting commit messages with newlines. Previously, this logic was part of `git_reflog_append`, only. There is a second place though where we add reflog entries, which is the serialization code in the filesystem refdb. As it didn't contain any sanity checks whatsoever, the refdb would have been perfectly happy to write malformatted reflog entries to the disk. This is being fixed with the same logic as for the reflog itself.
Sebastian Henke 3335a034 2019-10-10T15:28:46 refs: fix locks getting forcibly removed The flag GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE currently does two things: 1. It will cause the filebuf to create non-existing leading directories for the file that is about to be written. 2. It will forcibly remove any pre-existing locks. While most call sites actually do want (1), they do not want to remove pre-existing locks, as that renders the locking mechanisms effectively useless. Introduce a new flag `GIT_FILEBUF_CREATE_LEADING_DIRS` to separate both behaviours cleanly from each other and convert callers to use it instead of `GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE` to have them honor locked files correctly. As this conversion removes all current users of `GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE`, this commit removes the flag altogether.
Etienne Samson 8c142241 2019-06-14T08:20:05 refdb: make sure to remove packed refs first This fixes part of the issue where, given a concurrent `git pack-refs`, a ref lookup could return an old, vestigial value from the packed file, as the valid loose one would have been deleted.

Etienne Samson 9b25cf15 2019-02-02T19:00:49 refdb: fix packed_delete clobbering some errors In the case of a failed lookup, we'd paper over that by writing back the packed-refs successfully.
Etienne Samson 0a88c83d 2019-02-02T19:00:47 refdb: make low-level deletion helpers explicit

Patrick Steinhardt e54343a4 2019-06-29T09:17:32 fileops: rename to "futils.h" to match function signatures Our file utils functions all have a "futils" prefix, e.g. `git_futils_touch`. One would thus naturally guess that their definitions and implementation would live in files "futils.h" and "futils.c", respectively, but in fact they live in "fileops.h". Rename the files to match expectations.
Patrick Steinhardt 658022c4 2019-07-18T13:53:41 configuration: cvar -> configmap `cvar` is an unhelpful name. Refactor its usage to `configmap` for more clarity.
Patrick Steinhardt de70bb46 2019-06-13T15:27:22 global: convert trivial `fnmatch` users to use `wildcard` Upstream git.git has converted its codebase to use wildcard in favor of fnmatch in commit 70a8fc999d (stop using fnmatch (either native or compat), 2014-02-15). To keep our own regex-matching in line with what git does, convert all trivial instances of `fnmatch` usage to use `wildcard`, instead. Trivial usage is defined to be use of `fnmatch` with either no flags or flags that have a 1:1 equivalent in wildmatch (PATHNAME, IGNORECASE).
Patrick Steinhardt 451df793 2019-06-13T15:20:23 posix: remove implicit include of "fnmatch.h" We're about to phase out our bundled fnmatch implementation as git.git has moved to wildmatch long ago in 2014. To make it easier to spot which files are stilll using fnmatch, remove the implicit "fnmatch.h" include in "posix.h" and instead include it explicitly.

Patrick Steinhardt 94743daf 2019-02-15T11:16:46 refdb_fs: fix race when migrating loose to packed refs in iteration Right now, we first load the packed refs cache and only afterwards load the loose references. This is susceptible to a race when the loose ref is being migrated to a packed cache by e.g. git-pack-refs(1): libgit2 git-pack-refs 1. We load the packed ref, which does not yet have the migrated reference. 2. git-pack-refs updates the packed ref file to have the migrated ref. 3. git-pack-refs deletes the old loose ref. 4. We look up the loose ref. So we now do not find the reference at all and will never iterate over it. Fix the issue by reversing the order: instead of first loading the packed refs, we will now look up the loose reference first. If it has already been deleted, then it must already be present in the packed-refs by definition, as git.git will only delete the reference after updating the packed refs file.
Patrick Steinhardt 3ff0e3b5 2019-02-15T11:16:05 refdb_fs: remove ordering dependency on loose/packed refs loading Right now, loading loose refs has the side-effect of setting the `PACKREF_SHADOWED` flag for references that exist both in the loose and the packed refs. Because of this, we are force do first look up packed refs and only afterwards loading the packed refs. This is susceptible to a race, though, when refs are being repacked: when first loading the packed cache, then it may not yet have the migrated loose ref. But when now trying to look up the loose reference afterwards, then it may already have been migrated. Thus, we would fail to find this reference in this scenario. Remove this ordering dependency to allow fixing the above race. Instead of setting the flag when loading loose refs, we will now instead set it lazily when iterating over the loose refs. This even has the added benefit of not requiring us to lock the packed refs cache, as we already have an owned copy of it.
Patrick Steinhardt 83333814 2019-02-15T10:56:50 refdb_fs: do not lazily copy packed ref cache When creating a new iterator, we eagerly load loose refs but only lazily create a copy of packed refs. The lazy load only happens as soon as we have iterated over all loose refs, opening up a potentially wide window for races. This may lead to an inconsistent view e.g. when the caller decides to reload packed references somewhen between iterating the loose refs, which is unexpected. Fix the issue by eagerly copying the sorted cache. Note that right now, we are heavily dependent on ordering here: we first need to reload packed refs, then we have to load loose refs and only as a last step are we allowed to copy the cache. This is because loading loose refs has the side-effect of setting the `PACKED_SHADOWED` flag in the packed refs cache, which we require to avoid outputting packed refs that already exist as loose refs.
Patrick Steinhardt 32063d82 2019-02-15T10:41:30 refdb_fs: refactor error handling in iterator creation Refactor the error handling in `refdb_fs_backend__iterator` to always return the correct error code returned by the failing function.
Patrick Steinhardt 8c773438 2019-02-15T10:15:39 refdb_fs: fix potential race with ref repacking in `exists` callback When repacking references, git.git will first update the packed refs and only afterwards delete any existing loose references that have now been moved to the new packed refs file. Due to this, there is a potential for racing if one first reads the packfile (which has not been updated yet) and only then trying to read the loose reference (which has just been deleted). In this case, one will incorrectly fail to lookup the reference and it will be reported as missing. Naturally, this is exactly what we've been doing in `refdb_fs_backend__exists`. Fix the race by reversing the lookup: we will now first check if the loose reference exists and only afterwards refresh the packed file.
Edward Thomson f673e232 2018-12-27T13:47:34 git_error: use new names in internal APIs and usage Move to the `git_error` name in the internal API for error-related functions.
Edward Thomson ed8cfbf0 2019-01-17T00:32:31 references: use new names in internal usage Update internal usage to use the `git_reference` names for constants.
Patrick Steinhardt 8dde7e11 2018-12-19T11:04:58 refdb_fs: refactor error handling in `refdb_reflog_fs__delete` The function `refdb_reflog_fs__delete` uses the `if (!error && foobar())` pattern of checking, where error conditions are being checked by following calls to different code. This does not match our current style, where the call-site of a function is usually directly responsible for checking the return value. Convert the function to use `if ((error = foobar()) < 0) goto out;` style. Note that this changes the code flow a bit: previously, we were always trying to delete empty reference hierarchies even if deleting the reflog entry has failed. This wasn't much of a problem -- if deletion failed, the hierarchy will still contain at least one file and thus the function call was an expensive no-op. Now, we will only perform this deletion if we have successfully removed the reflog.

Etienne Samson e226ad8f 2018-11-17T17:55:10 refs: add support for core.logAllRefUpdates=always Since we were not expecting this config entry to contain a string, we would fail as soon as its (cached) value would be accessed. Hence, provide some constants for the 4 states we use, and account for "always" when we decide to reflog changes.

Julian Ganz 05e891f1 2018-06-01T08:44:30 refdb_fs: test whether the base directory exists when globbing This commit fixes a regression introduced by 20a2b02d9a1bcb4825ec49605146223c565dcacf The commit introduced an optimization for finding references using a glob: rather than iterating over all references and matching each one against the glob, we would iterate only over references within the directory common to all possible references which may match against the glob. However, contrary to the `ref/` directory, which was the previous entry point for the iteration, this directory may not exist. In this case, the optimization causes an error (`ENOENT`) rather than the iterator simply yielding no references. This patch fixes the regression by checkign for this specific case.

Julian Ganz 27e98cf7 2018-04-18T19:21:22 refdb_fs: prepare arbitration of the root used for ref iteration Instead of a hardcoded "refs", we may choose a different directory within the git directory as the root from which we look for references.

Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.
Patrick Steinhardt 6c23704d 2017-06-08T21:40:18 settings: rename `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_SYNCHRONOUS_OBJECT_CREATION` Initially, the setting has been solely used to enable the use of `fsync()` when creating objects. Since then, the use has been extended to also cover references and index files. As the option is not yet part of any release, we can still correct this by renaming the option to something more sensible, indicating not only correlation to objects. This commit renames the option to `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_FSYNC_GITDIR`. We also move the variable from the object to repository source code.

Patrick Steinhardt 097f0105 2017-03-17T08:54:53 refdb: create references in commondir References for a repository are usually created inside of its gitdir. When using worktrees, though, these references are not to be created inside the worktree gitdir, but instead inside the gitdir of its parent repository, which is the commondir. Like this, branches will still be available after the worktree itself has been deleted. The filesystem refdb currently still creates new references inside of the gitdir. Fix this and have it create references in commondir.

Patrick Steinhardt 6da6b425 2017-02-14T11:13:32 refdb: catch additional per-worktree refs The upstream git.git project currently identifies all references inside of `refs/bisect/` as well as `HEAD` as per-worktree references. This is already incorrect and is currently being fixed by an in-flight topic [1]. The new behavior will be to match all pseudo-references outside of the `refs/` hierarchy as well as `refs/bisect/`. Our current behavior is to mark a selection of pseudo-references as per-worktree, only. This matches more pseudo-references than current git, but forgets about `refs/bisect/`. Adjust behavior to match the in-flight topic, that is classify the following references as per-worktree: - everything outside of `refs/` - everything inside of `refs/bisect/` [1]: <20170213152011.12050-1-pclouds@gmail.com>
Patrick Steinhardt 84f56cb0 2016-11-04T11:59:52 repository: rename `path_repository` and `path_gitlink` The `path_repository` variable is actually confusing to think about, as it is not always clear what the repository actually is. It may either be the path to the folder containing worktree and .git directory, the path to .git itself, a worktree or something entirely different. Actually, the intent of the variable is to hold the path to the gitdir, which is either the .git directory or the bare repository. Rename the variable to `gitdir` to avoid confusion. While at it, also rename `path_gitlink` to `gitlink` to improve consistency.

Patrick Steinhardt e0a6c28e 2015-09-16T16:09:24 refdb: introduce commondir awareness The refdb_fs_backend is not aware of the git commondir, which stores common objects like the o bject database and packed/loose refereensces when worktrees are used. Make refdb_fs_backend aware of the common directory by introducing a new commonpath variable that points to the actual common path of the database and using it instead of the gitdir for the mentioned objects.
Patrick Steinhardt 71dd0861 2015-09-17T11:40:55 refdb: rename refdb_fs_backend's .path to .gitpath The variable '.path' of the refdb_fs_backend struct becomes confusing regarding the introduction of the git commondir. It does not immediatly become obvious what it should point to. Fix this problem by renaming the variable to `gitpath`, clarifying that it acutally points to the `.git` directory of the repository, in contrast to the commonpath directory, which points to the directory containing shared objects like references and the object store.

Carlos Martín Nieto 33248b9e 2016-03-10T12:22:34 refdb: remove a check-delete race when removing a loose ref It does not help us to check whether the file exists before trying to unlink it since it might be gone by the time unlink is called.

Carlos Martín Nieto dd1ca6f1 2015-12-24T17:38:41 refdb: refactor the lockfile cleanup We can reduce the duplication by cleaning up at the beginning of the loop, since it's something we want to do every time we continue.
Carlos Martín Nieto 7ea4710a 2015-12-24T17:30:24 refdb: don't report failure for expected errors There might be a few threads or processes working with references concurrently, so fortify the code to ignore errors which come from concurrent access which do not stop us from continuing the work. This includes ignoring an unlinking error. Either someone else removed it or we leave the file around. In the former case the job is done, and in the latter case, the ref is still in a valid state.
Carlos Martín Nieto 2d9aec99 2015-12-24T14:01:38 refdb: make ref deletion after pack safer In order not to undo concurrent modifications to references, we must make sure that we only delete a loose reference if it still has the same value as when we packed it. This means we need to lock it and then compare the value with the one we put in the packed file.

As we have a write lock in `packed_write`, though, it really should not happen that the function returns NULL. Assert that ref is not NULL to silence a Coverity warning.
Patrick Steinhardt 793e0855 2016-02-22T14:06:48 refdb_fs: remove unnecessary check for NULL The fail-label of `reflog_parse` explicitly checks the entry poitner for NULL before freeing it. When we jump to the label the variable has to be set to a non-NULL and valid pointer though: if the allocation fails we immediately return with an error code and if the loop was not entered we return with a success code, withouth executing the label's code. Remove the useless NULL-check to silence Coverity.
Edward Thomson 318b825e 2016-02-16T17:11:46 index: allow read of index w/ illegal entries Allow `git_index_read` to handle reading existing indexes with illegal entries. Allow the low-level `git_index_add` to add properly formed `git_index_entry`s even if they contain paths that would be illegal for the current filesystem (eg, `AUX`). Continue to disallow `git_index_add_bypath` from adding entries that are illegal universally illegal (eg, `.git`, `foo/../bar`).

Stjepan Rajko 335c9e2f 2015-10-26T15:33:00 Prevent segfault when parsing a reflog with oid parse error Using calloc instead of malloc because the parse error will lead to an immediate free of committer (and its properties, which can segfault on free if undefined - test_refs_reflog_reflog__reading_a_reflog_with_invalid_format_returns_error segfaulted before the fix). #3458

Edward Thomson ac2fba0e 2015-09-16T15:07:27 git_futils_mkdir_*: make a relative-to-base mkdir Untangle git_futils_mkdir from git_futils_mkdir_ext - the latter assumes that we own everything beneath the base, as if it were being called with a base of the repository or working directory, and is tailored towards checkout and ensuring that there is no bogosity beneath the base that must be cleaned up. This is (at best) slow and (at worst) unsafe in the larger context of a filesystem where we do not own things and cannot do things like unlink symlinks that are in our way.

Carlos Martín Nieto 01d0c02d 2015-07-12T19:08:06 refdb: delete a ref's reflog upon deletion Removing a reflog upon ref deletion is something which only some backends might wish to do. Backends which are database-backed may wish to archive a reflog, log-based ones may not need to do anything.
Carlos Martín Nieto d578b45f 2015-03-08T16:46:33 refdb: use the same id for old and new when renaming a reference When we rename a reference, we want the old and new ids to be the same one (as we did not change it). The normal code path looks up the old id from the current value of the brtanch, but by the time we look it up, it does not exist anymore and thus we write a zero id. Pass the old id explicitly instead.

Edward Thomson a64119e3 2014-11-25T18:13:00 checkout: disallow bad paths on win32 Disallow: 1. paths with trailing dot 2. paths with trailing space 3. paths with trailing colon 4. paths that are 8.3 short names of .git folders ("GIT~1") 5. paths that are reserved path names (COM1, LPT1, etc). 6. paths with reserved DOS characters (colons, asterisks, etc) These paths would (without \\?\ syntax) be elided to other paths - for example, ".git." would be written as ".git". As a result, writing these paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
Carlos Martín Nieto ab8d9242 2014-06-28T06:39:38 Introduce reference transactions A transaction allows you to lock multiple references and set up changes for them before applying the changes all at once (or as close as the backend supports). This can be used for replication purposes, or for making sure some operations run when the reference is locked and thus cannot be changed.
