* reftable/error: introduce out-of-memory error codePatrick Steinhardt2024-10-021-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reftable library does not use the same memory allocation functions as the rest of the Git codebase. Instead, as the reftable library is supposed to be usable as a standalone library without Git, it provides a set of pluggable memory allocators. Compared to `xmalloc()` and friends these allocators are _not_ expected to die when an allocation fails. This design choice is concious, as a library should leave it to its caller to handle any kind of error. While it is very likely that the caller cannot really do much in the case of an out-of-memory situation anyway, we are not the ones to make that decision. Curiously though, we never handle allocation errors even though memory allocation functions are allowed to fail. And as we do not plug in Git's memory allocator via `reftable_set_alloc()` either the consequence is that we'd instead segfault as soon as we run out of memory. While the easy fix would be to wire up `xmalloc()` and friends, it would only fix the usage of the reftable library in Git itself. Other users like libgit2, which is about to revive its efforts to land a backend for reftables, wouldn't be able to benefit from this solution. Instead, we are about to do it the hard way: adapt all allocation sites to perform error checking. Introduce a new error code for out-of-memory errors that we will wire up in subsequent steps. This commit also serves as the motivator for all the remaining steps in this series such that we do not have to repeat the same arguments in every single subsequent commit.

| * reftable: remove name checksPatrick Steinhardt2024-04-091-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the preceding commit we have disabled name checks in the "reftable" backend. These checks were responsible for verifying multiple things when writing records to the reftable stack: - Detecting file/directory conflicts. Starting with the preceding commits this is now handled by the reftable backend itself via `refs_verify_refname_available()`. - Validating refnames. This is handled by `check_refname_format()` in the generic ref transacton layer. The code in the reftable library is thus not used anymore and likely to bitrot over time. Remove it.

* | reftable/error: discern locked/outdated errorsPatrick Steinhardt2024-03-251-1/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently throw two different errors into a similar-but-different error code: - Errors when trying to lock the reftable stack. - Errors when trying to write to the reftable stack which has been modified concurrently. This results in unclear error handling and user-visible error messages. Create a new `REFTABLE_OUTDATED_ERROR` so that those error conditions can be clearly told apart from each other. Adjust users of the old `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR` to use the new error code as required. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* reftable: signal overflowHan-Wen Nienhuys2021-12-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | reflog entries have unbounded size. In theory, each log ('g') block in reftable can have an arbitrary size, so the format allows for arbitrarily sized reflog messages. However, in the implementation, we are not scaling the log blocks up with the message, and writing a large message fails. This triggers a failure for reftable in t7006-pager.sh. Until this is fixed more structurally, report an error from within the reftable library for easier debugging.

* reftable: add error related functionalityHan-Wen Nienhuys2021-10-081-0/+41
The reftable/ directory is structured as a library, so it cannot crash on misuse. Instead, it returns an error code. In addition to signaling errors, the error code can be used to signal conditions from lower levels of the library to be handled by higher levels of the library. For example, in a transaction we might legitimately write an empty reftable file, but in that case, we want to shortcut the transaction.
