| * | | | | | | docs/protocol-v2: point readers transport config discussionJeff King2021-09-111-1/+7

While the protocol-v2 document is pretty technical and not of interest to most admins, it may be a starting point for them to figure out how to turn on v2. Let's put some pointers from there to the other documentation. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * | | | | | | docs/git: discuss server-side config for GIT_PROTOCOLJeff King2021-09-112-0/+23

In particular, we need to note what server admins might need to configure to make things work. The definition of the GIT_PROTOCOL variable is probably the best place for this, since: - we deal with multiple transports (ssh, http, etc). Transport-specific documentation (like the git-http-backend bits added in the previous commit) are helpful for those transports, but this gives a broader overview. Plus we do not have a specific transport endpoint program for ssh, so this is a reasonable place to mention it. - the server side of the protocol involves multiple programs. For now, upload-pack is the only endpoint which uses GIT_PROTOCOL, but that will likely expand in the future. We're better off with a central discussion of what the server admin might need to do. However, for discoverability, this patch adds a pointer from upload-pack's documentation. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

But when we introduced the v2 protocol, we never documented these. As of the previous commit, this should mostly work out of the box without any explicit configuration. But it's worth documenting this to make it clear how we expect it to work, especially in the face of webservers which don't provide all headers over the CGI interface. Or anybody who runs across this documentation but has an older version of Git (or _used_ to have an older version, and wonders why they still have a SetEnvIf line in their Apache config and whether it's still necessary).

| * | | | | | | http-backend: handle HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL CGI variableJeff King2021-09-112-2/+4

Webservers will generally make that available to our CGI as HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL in the environment. However, that's not sufficient for upload-pack, etc, to respect it; they look in GIT_PROTOCOL (without the HTTP_ prefix). Either the webserver or the CGI is responsible for relaying that HTTP header into the GIT_PROTOCOL variable. Traditionally, our tests have configured the webserver to do so, but that's a burden on the server admin. We can make this work out of the box by having the http-backend CGI copy the contents of HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL to GIT_PROTOCOL. There are no new tests here. By removing the SetEnvIf line from our test Apache config, we're now relying on this behavior of http-backend to trigger the v2 protocol there (and there are numerous tests that fail if this doesn't work). There is one subtlety here: we copy HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL only if there is no existing GIT_PROTOCOL variable. That leaves the webserver admin free to override the client's decision if they choose. This is unlikely to be useful in practice, but is more flexible. And indeed, it allows the v2-to-v0 fallback test added in the previous commit to continue working.

And with the GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION knob, we can easily test a v0 client connecting to a v2-aware server (which will then just speak v0). But we have no regular tests that a v2 client, when encountering a non-v2-aware server, will correctly fall back to using v0. In theory this is a job for the cross-version tests in t/interop, but: - they cover only git:// and file:// clones - they are not part of the usual test suite, so nobody ever runs them anyway Since using v2 over http requires configuring the web server to pass along the Git-Protocol header, we can easily create a situation where the server does not respect the v2 probe, and the conversation falls back to v0. This works just fine. This new test is not about fixing any particular bug, but just making sure that the system works (and continues to work) as expected.

That call appears to have been copy/pasted from launchctl_boot_plist(). Since we can remove that, we can also get rid of the "result" variable, whose only purpose was allow for the free() between its assignment and the return. That pattern also appears to have been copy/pasted from launchctl_boot_plist(). As the patch shows the returned value from launchctl_get_uid() wasn't used at all in this function. The launchctl_get_uid() function itself just calls xstrfmt() and getuid(), neither of which have any subtle global side-effects, so this removal is safe.

While the set of cases in this patch is certainly far from comprehensive, it was motivated by some work to see what the fallout would be if we were to make the removal of untracked files as a side effect of other commands into an error. Some cases were a bit more involved than the testcase changes included in this patch, but the ones included here represent the simple cases. While this patch is not that important since we are not changing the behavior of those other commands into an error in the near term, I thought these changes were useful anyway as an explicit documentation of the intent that these untracked files are no longer useful.

And when resolving the inevitable conflict, I mistakenly took the "rename" patch completely, accidentally dropping the type change. We can correct it now; better late than never.

Our goal is to interactively read and write lines from update-ref, so we have two fifos, in and out. We open a descriptor connected to "in" and redirect output to that, so that update-ref does not see EOF as it would if we opened and closed it for each "echo" call. But we don't do the same for the output. This leads to a race where our "read response <out" has not yet opened the fifo, but update-ref tries to write to it and gets SIGPIPE. This can result in the test failing, or worse, hanging as we wait forever for somebody to write to the pipe. This is the same proble we fixed in 4783e7ea83 (t0008: avoid SIGPIPE race condition on fifo, 2013-07-12), and we can fix it the same way, by opening a second long-running descriptor. Before this patch, running: ./t1400-update-ref.sh --run=1,190 --stress failed or hung within a few dozen iterations. After it, I ran it for several hundred without problems.

The way it's supposed to work is this: - we set up a SIGCLD handler - we kick off http-backend and write to it with a set content-length, but _don't_ close the pipe - we sleep for 60 seconds, assuming that SIGCLD from http-backend finishing will interrupt us - after the sleep finishes (whetherby 60 seconds or because it was interrupted by the signal), we check a flag to see if our SIGCLD handler was called. If not, then we complain. This usually completes immediately, because the signal interrupts our sleep. But very occasionally the child process dies _before_ we hit the sleep, so we don't realize it. The test still completes successfully (because our $exited flag is set), but it takes an extra 60 seconds. There's no way to check the flag and sleep atomically. So the best we can do with this approach is to sleep in smaller chunks (say, 1 second) and check the flag incrementally. Then we waste a maximum of 1 second if we lose the race. This was proposed in: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190218205028.32486-1-max@max630.net/ and it does work. But we can do better. Instead of blocking on sleep and waiting for the child signal to interrupt us, we can block on the child exiting and set an alarm signal to trigger the timeout. This lets us exit the script immediately when the child behaves (with no race possible), and wait a maximum of 60 seconds when it doesn't. Note one small subtlety: perl is very willing to restart the waitpid() call after the alarm is delivered, even if we've thrown an exception via die. "perldoc -f alarm" claims you can get around this with an eval/die combo (and even has some example code), but it doesn't seem to work for me with waitpid(); instead, we continue waiting until the child exits. So instead, we'll instruct the child process to exit in the alarm handler itself. In the original code this was done by calling close($out). That would continue to work, since our child is always http-backend, which should exit when its stdin closes. But we can be even more robust against a hung or confused child by sending a KILL signal, which should terminate it immediately.

So far, we did this manually every time before calling `run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future callers won't be able to forget to close the object store. Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is disabled).

This scenario is so common that we frequently see the pattern of closing the object store before running auto maintenance or another Git command. Let's make this much more convenient by teaching the `run_command()` machinery a new flag to release the object store before spawning the process.

To remedy that, we try to release all open handles to any `.pack` file before e.g. repacking (which would want to remove the original `.pack` file(s) after it is done). Since the `read_cache_unmerged()` and/or the `get_oid()` call in `git pull` can cause `.pack` files to be opened, we need to release the open handles before calling `git fetch`: the latter process might want to spawn an auto-gc, which in turn might want to repack the objects. This commit is similar in spirit to 5bdece0d705 (gc/repack: release packs when needed, 2018-12-15). This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3336.

That means that it is meaningless (and even misleading) when the commit graph was closed. This seems not to matter currently, but we're about to fix a Windows-specific bug where `git pull` does not close the object store before fetching (risking that an implicit auto-gc fails to remove the now-obsolete pack file(s)), and once we have that bug fix in place, it does matter: after that bug fix, we will open the object store, do some stuff with it, then close it, fetch, and then open it again, and do more stuff.

Since we intend to remove the need for 'command_requires_full_index', we need to ensure the sparse index is expanded every time it is written to disk between these steps. That is, unless the merge strategy is 'ort' where the index can remain sparse throughout. There are two main places to be extra careful about a full index: 1. Right before calling merge_trees(), ensure the index is full. This happens within an 'else' where the 'if' block checks if the 'ort' strategy is selected. 2. During read_and_refresh_cache(), the index might be written to disk and converted to sparse in the process. Ensure it expands back to full afterwards by checking if the strategy is _not_ 'ort'. This 'if' statement is the logical negation of the 'if' in item (1).

The index still will be expanded in a few cases: 1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive() method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy enabled. 2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file, then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks 'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the sparse-checkout cone. 3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand, and those strategies are currently protected with the 'command_requires_full_index' guard. Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b' that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward merges.
