| * | | is_kept_pack(): final clean-upJunio C Hamano2009-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now is_kept_pack() is just a member lookup into a structure, we can write it as such. Also rewrite the sole caller of has_sha1_kept_pack() to switch on the criteria the callee uses (namely, revs->kept_pack_only) between calling has_sha1_kept_pack() and has_sha1_pack(), so that these two callees do not have to take a pointer to struct rev_info as an argument. This removes the header file dependency issue temporarily introduced by the earlier commit, so we revert changes associated to that as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * | | Simplify is_kept_pack()Junio C Hamano2009-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes --unpacked=<packfile> parameter from the revision parser, and rewrites its use in git-repack to pass a single --kept-pack-only option instead. The new --kept-pack-only option means just that. When this option is given, is_kept_pack() that used to say "not on the --unpacked=<packfile> list" now says "the packfile has corresponding .keep file".

| * | | Consolidate ignore_packed logic moreJunio C Hamano2009-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactors three loops that check if a given packfile is on the ignore_packed list into a function is_kept_pack(). The function returns false for a pack on the list, and true for a pack not on the list, because this list is solely used by "git repack" to pass list of packfiles that do not have corresponding .keep files, i.e. a packfile not on the list is "kept".

| * | | has_sha1_kept_pack(): take "struct rev_info"Junio C Hamano2009-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Its "ignore_packed" parameter always comes from struct rev_info. This patch makes the function take a pointer to the surrounding structure, so that the refactoring in the next patch becomes easier to review. There is an unfortunate header file dependency and the easiest workaround is to temporarily move the function declaration from cache.h to revision.h; this will be moved back to cache.h once the function loses this "ignore_packed" parameter altogether in the later part of the series.

This one _just_ wraps things; it doesn't do the "retry on low memory error" part, at least not yet. It is an independent issue from the reporting.

This, however, doesn't currently prevent a stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_ reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included here. The Context ----------- The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when accessing the object database. First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any disk corruption would be caught already in this case. Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types are often validated against the expected type when they're requested, and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header, so those cases are pretty much covered as well. Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference. Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1 collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default when repacking. Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302 failed to test is a full repack in such case. The Solution ------------ As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack. But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore, consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less severe consequences than actively creating bad packs. So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack. Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for corruption when recreating object data into a new pack. What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation in that case. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the "die_on_error" boolean parameter to a mere "flags", and changes the existing callers of hold_lock_file_for_update/append() functions to pass LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | read_packed_sha1 expectes its caller to free the buffer it returns, which force_object_loose didn't do. This leak is eventually triggered by "git gc", when it is manually invoked or there are too many packs around, making gc totally unusable when there are lots of unreachable objects.

* | Replace calls to strbuf_init(&foo, 0) with STRBUF_INIT initializerBrandon Casey2008-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a function call, and takes up fewer lines.
