Junio C Hamano 386cb77210 Consolidate ignore_packed logic more
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".

Junio C Hamano b8431b033f has_sha1_kept_pack(): take "struct rev_info"
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.

Introduce has_sha1_kept_pack() function that has the function signature

All other callers and has_sha1_pack() lose the ignore_packed parameter.

Nicolas Pitre c74faea19e make sure packs to be replaced are closed beforehand
Especially on Windows where an opened file cannot be replaced, make
sure pack-objects always close packs it is about to replace. Even on
non Windows systems, this could save potential bad results if ever
objects were to be read from the new pack file using offset from the old
index.

This should fix t5303 on Windows.

Joey Hess 65117abc04 sha1_file: avoid bogus "file exists" error message
This avoids the following misleading error message:

error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/15: File exists

mkstemp can fail for many reasons, one of which, ENOENT, can occur if
the directory for the temp file doesn't exist. create_tmpfile tried to
handle this case by always trying to mkdir the directory, even if it
already existed. This caused errno to be clobbered, so one cannot tell
why mkstemp really failed, and it truncated the buffer to just the
directory name, resulting in the strange error message shown above.

Note that in both occasions that I've seen this failure, it has not been
due to a missing directory, or bad permissions, but some other, unknown
mkstemp failure mode that did not occur when I ran git again. This code
could perhaps be made more robust by retrying mkstemp, in case it was a
transient failure.

Steven Grimm ddd63e64e4 Optimize sha1_object_info for loose objects, not concurrent repacks
When dealing with a repository with lots of loose objects, sha1_object_info
would rescan the packs directory every time an unpacked object was referenced
before finally giving up and looking for the loose object. This caused a lot
of extra unnecessary system calls during git pack-objects; the code was
rereading the entire pack directory once for each loose object file.

This patch looks for a loose object before falling back to rescanning the
pack directory, rather than the other way around.

Nicolas Pitre ac9391093f restore legacy behavior for read_sha1_file()
Since commit 8eca0b47ff, it is possible
for read_sha1_file() to return NULL even with existing objects when they
are corrupted.  Previously a corrupted object would have terminated the
program immediately, effectively making read_sha1_file() return NULL
only when specified object is not found.

Let's restore this behavior for all users of read_sha1_file() and
provide a separate function with the ability to not terminate when
bad objects are encountered.

Shawn O. Pearce eac12e2d4d Correct pack memory leak causing git gc to try to exceed ulimit
When recursing to unpack a delta base we must unuse_pack() so that
the pack window for the current object does not remain pinned in
memory while the delta base is itself being unpacked and materialized
for our use.

On a long delta chain of 50 objects we may need to access 6 different
windows from a very large (>3G) pack file in order to obtain all
of the delta base content.  If the process ulimit permits us to
map/allocate only 1.5G we must release windows during this recursion
to ensure we stay within the ulimit and transition memory from pack
cache to standard malloc, or other mmap needs.

Inserting an unuse_pack() call prior to the recursion allows us to
avoid pinning the current window, making it available for garbage
collection if memory runs low.

This has been broken since at least before 1.5.1-rc1, and very
likely earlier than that.  Its fixed now.  :)

Jeff King 2beebd22f4 clone: create intermediate directories of destination repo
The shell version used to use "mkdir -p" to create the repo

worktree dir contains the git dir (as .git), the user can

We can reuse safe_create_leading_directories, but we need to
make a copy of our const buffer to do so. Since
merge-recursive uses the same pattern, we can factor this
out into a global function. This has two other cleanup
advantages for merge-recursive:

  1. mkdir_p wasn't a very good name. "mkdir -p foo/bar" actually
     creates bar, but this function just creates the leading

Nicolas Pitre 8eca0b47ff implement some resilience against pack corruptions
We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted.  This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted.  Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.

This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located.  Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.

Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens.  However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

Now that we've made the loose SHA1 file reading more careful and
streamlined, we only use the old find_sha1_file() function for checking
whether a loose object file exists at all.

As such, the whole 'return stat information' part of it was just
pointless (nobody cares any more), and the naming of the function is not
really all that relevant either.

So simplify it to not do a 'stat()', but just an existence check (which
is what the callers want), and rename it to 'has_loose_object()' which

Linus Torvalds 44d1c19ee8 Make loose object file reading more careful
We used to do 'stat()+open()+mmap()+close()' to read the loose object
file data, which does work fine, but has a couple of problems:

 - it unnecessarily walks the filename twice (at 'stat()' time and then
   again to open it)

 - NFS generally has open-close consistency guarantees, which means that
   the initial 'stat()' was technically done outside of the normal
   consistency rules.

So change it to do 'open()+fstat()+mmap()+close()' instead, which avoids
both these issues.

Linus Torvalds 5723fe7e3c Avoid cross-directory renames and linking on object creation
Instead of creating new temporary objects in the top-level git object
directory, create them in the same directory they will finally end up in
anyway.  This avoids making the final atomic "rename to stable name"
operation be a cross-directory event, which makes it a lot easier for
various filesystems.

Several filesystems do things like change the inode number when moving
files across directories (or refuse to do it entirely).

In particular, it can also cause problems for NFS implementations that
change the filehandle of a file when it moves to a different directory,
like the old user-space NFS server did, and like the Linux knfsd still
does if you don't export your filesystems with 'no_subtree_check' or if
you export a filesystem that doesn't have stable inode numbers across
renames).

This change also obviously implies creating the object fan-out
subdirectory at tempfile creation time, rather than at the final
move_temp_to_file() time.  Which actually accounts for most of the size
of the patch.

Junio C Hamano 628522ec14 sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1
Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.

A conventional binary search loop looks like this:

        unsigned lo, hi;
        do {
                unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
                int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
                if (!cmp)
                        return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
                if (cmp > 0)
                        hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
                else
                        lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
        } while (lo < hi);
	"did not find what we wanted"

The invariants are:

  - When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
    above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
    a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
    never be at the target).

  - We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
    the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
    check if 'mi' hits the target.  There are three cases:

     - if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;

     - if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
       'hi', and repeat the search.

     - if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
       to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
       target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.

    If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.

When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied.  When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.

This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution.  An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table.  In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.

This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging.  Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.

On my admittedly memory starved machine, with a partial KDE
repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):

    $ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
    3.93user 0.16system 0:04.09elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+55588minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

    $ git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
    4.00user 0.15system 0:04.17elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+60258minor)pagefaults 0swaps

In the same repository:

    $ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
    0.12user 0.00system 0:00.12elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+4241minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

    $ git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
    0.05user 0.01system 0:00.07elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+8506minor)pagefaults 0swaps

There isn't much time difference, but the number of minor faults
seems to show that we are touching much smaller number of pages,
which is expected.

Nicolas Pitre 70f5d5d31c fix unimplemented packed_object_info_detail() features
Since commit eb32d236df, there was a TODO
comment in packed_object_info_detail() about the SHA1 of base object to
OBJ_OFS_DELTA objects.  So here it is at last.

While at it, providing the actual storage size information as well is now
trivial.

Jeff King 346245a1bb hard-code the empty tree object
Now any commands may reference the empty tree object by its
sha1 (4b825dc642). This is
useful for showing some diffs, especially for initial
commits.
