* files_transaction_prepare(): fix handling of ref lock failuremh/ref-locking-fixMichael Haggerty2017-10-252-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08), failure to lock a reference has been handled incorrectly by `files_transaction_prepare()`. If `lock_ref_for_update()` fails in the lock-acquisition loop of that function, it sets `ret` then breaks out of that loop. Prior to dc39e09942, that was OK, because the only thing following the loop was the cleanup code. But dc39e09942 added another blurb of code between the loop and the cleanup. That blurb sometimes resets `ret` to zero, making the cleanup code think that the locking was successful. Specifically, whenever * One or more reference deletions have been processed successfully in the lock-acquisition loop. (Processing the first such reference causes a packed-ref transaction to be initialized.) * Then `lock_ref_for_update()` fails for a subsequent reference. Such a failure can happen for a number of reasons, such as the old SHA-1 not being correct, lock contention, etc. This causes a `break` out of the lock-acquisition loop. * The `packed-refs` lock is acquired successfully and `ref_transaction_prepare()` succeeds for the packed-ref transaction. This has the effect of resetting `ret` back to 0, and making the cleanup code think that lock acquisition was successful. In that case, any reference updates that were processed prior to breaking out of the loop would be carried out (loose and packed), but the reference that couldn't be locked and any subsequent references would silently be ignored. This can easily cause data loss if, for example, the user was trying to push a new name for an existing branch while deleting the old name. After the push, the branch could be left unreachable, and could even subsequently be garbage-collected. This problem was noticed in the context of deleting one reference and creating another in a single transaction, when the two references D/F conflict with each other, like git update-ref --stdin <<EOF delete refs/foo create refs/foo/bar HEAD EOF This triggers the above bug because the deletion is processed successfully for `refs/foo`, then the D/F conflict causes `lock_ref_for_update()` to fail when `refs/foo/bar` is processed. In this case the transaction *should* fail, but instead it causes `refs/foo` to be deleted without creating `refs/foo`. This could easily result in data loss. The fix is simple: instead of just breaking out of the loop, jump directly to the cleanup code. This fixes some tests in t1404 that were added in the previous commit.

* t1404: add a bunch of tests of D/F conflictsMichael Haggerty2017-10-251-0/+141
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is currently not allowed, in a single transaction, to add one reference and delete another reference if the two reference names D/F conflict with each other (e.g., like `refs/foo/bar` and `refs/foo`). The reason is that the code would need to take locks $GIT_DIR/refs/foo.lock $GIT_DIR/refs/foo/bar.lock But the latter lock couldn't coexist with the loose reference file $GIT_DIR/refs/foo , because `$GIT_DIR/refs/foo` cannot be both a directory and a file at the same time (hence the name "D/F conflict). Add a bunch of tests that we cleanly reject such transactions. In fact, many of the new tests currently fail. They will be fixed in the next commit along with an explanation.

* files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refsMichael Haggerty2017-09-092-33/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When processing a `files_ref_store` transaction, it is sometimes necessary to delete some references from the "packed-refs" file. Do that using a reference transaction conducted against the `packed_ref_store`. This change further decouples `files_ref_store` from `packed_ref_store`. It also fixes multiple problems, including the two revealed by test cases added in the previous commit. First, the old code didn't obtain the `packed-refs` lock until `files_transaction_finish()`. This means that a failure to acquire the `packed-refs` lock (e.g., due to contention with another process) wasn't detected until it was too late (problems like this are supposed to be detected in the "prepare" phase). The new code acquires the `packed-refs` lock in `files_transaction_prepare()`, the same stage of the processing when the loose reference locks are being acquired, removing another reason why the "prepare" phase might succeed and the "finish" phase might nevertheless fail. Second, the old code deleted the loose version of a reference before deleting any packed version of the same reference. This left a moment when another process might think that the packed version of the reference is current, which is incorrect. (Even worse, the packed version of the reference can be arbitrarily old, and might even point at an object that has since been garbage-collected.) Third, if a reference deletion fails to acquire the `packed-refs` lock altogether, then the old code might leave the repository in the incorrect state (possibly corrupt) described in the previous paragraph. Now we activate the new "packed-refs" file (sans any references that are being deleted) *before* deleting the corresponding loose references. But we hold the "packed-refs" lock until after the loose references have been finalized, thus preventing a simultaneous "pack-refs" process from packing the loose version of the reference in the time gap, which would otherwise defeat our attempt to delete it.

* t1404: demonstrate two problems with reference transactionsMichael Haggerty2017-09-091-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, a loose reference is deleted even before locking the `packed-refs` file, let alone deleting any packed version of the reference. This leads to two problems, demonstrated by two new tests: * While a reference is being deleted, other processes might see the old, packed value of the reference for a moment before the packed version is deleted. Normally this would be hard to observe, but we can prolong the window by locking the `packed-refs` file externally before running `update-ref`, then unlocking it before `update-ref`'s attempt to acquire the lock times out. * If the `packed-refs` file is locked so long that `update-ref` fails to lock it, then the reference can be left permanently in the incorrect state described in the previous point. In a moment, both problems will be fixed. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* packed-backend: don't adjust the reference count on lock/unlockMichael Haggerty2017-09-091-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old code incremented the packed ref cache reference count when acquiring the packed-refs lock, and decremented the count when releasing the lock. This is unnecessary because: * Another process cannot change the packed-refs file because it is locked. * When we ourselves change the packed-refs file, we do so by first modifying the packed ref-cache, and then writing the data from the ref-cache to disk. So the packed ref-cache remains fresh because any changes that we plan to make to the file are made in the cache first anyway. So there is no reason for the cache to become stale. Moreover, the extra reference count causes a problem if we intentionally clear the packed refs cache, as we sometimes need to do if we change the cache in anticipation of writing a change to disk, but then the write to disk fails. In that case, `packed_refs_unlock()` would have no easy way to find the cache whose reference count it needs to decrement. This whole issue will soon become moot due to upcoming changes that avoid changing the in-memory cache as part of updating the packed-refs on disk, but this change makes that transition easier.

The test requires EXECKEEPSPID (thus does not run under MINGW). Save the merge state earlier (in the non-squash case) so that it does not get lost. This makes the test pass.

To ensure that no code change breaks that assumption, safe-guard prepare_to_commit() by a BUG() statement.

But this argument falls down if the other process has locked the reference to do something that doesn't actually change the value of the reference, such as `pack-refs` or `reflog expire`. There actually *is* a decent chance that a planned reference update will still be able to go through after the other process has released the lock. So when trying to lock an individual reference (e.g., when creating "refs/heads/master.lock"), if it is already locked, then retry the lock acquisition for approximately 100 ms before giving up. This should eliminate some unnecessary lock conflicts without wasting a lot of time. Add a configuration setting, `core.filesRefLockTimeout`, to allow this setting to be tweaked. Note: the function `get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()` cannot be private to the files backend because it is also used by `write_pseudoref()` and `delete_pseudoref()`, which are defined in `refs.c` so that they can be used by other reference backends.

The default is 60 days. gc.rerereUnresolved:: Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run. The default is 15 days. There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate" expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never". Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work correctly without using the return value, though. In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter. But this will do for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Instead, have the caller turn the number of days into the expiry timestamp. Further, use timestamp_t instead of time_t. This will make it possible to extend the way the configuration variable is spelled by using date.c::parse_expiry_date() that gives the expiry timestamp in timestamp_t.
