cp: diagnose invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, once again

2009-02-27T10:44:26Z

Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/... rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure. The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change [3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases] that introduced the bug: - remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); + if (!x->hard_link) + remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev); However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs. And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it. Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary to record the pair only for the first directory created for each source command-line argument. I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice. Also note the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d. However, running that same command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail. That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually) with the unwanted recursion. * src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its first directory. If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs. If this is the first, then do record its pair. Hence, the new parameter. (copy_dir, copy): Update callers. (copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop. * tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above. Reported by Mikael Magnusson.

cp: -a now preserves SELinux context, with reduced diagnostics

2009-02-18T14:27:10Z

* copy.c (copy_reg): Reduce SELinux context diagnostics for 'cp -a'. (copy_internal): Likewise * copy.h (cp_options): Add boolean reduce_diagnostics. * cp.c (usage): Say that --archive (-a) behaves like -dR --preserve=all. (cp_option_init): Initialize added reduce_diagnostics. (main): Add reduce_diagnostics for the -a option, and preserve SELinux context, if possible. * mv.c (cp_options_init): Initialize new cp_options booleans. * install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention those behaviour changes. * doc/coreutils.texi: Document --preserve=context, document that diagnostics are not shown for failures of non-mandatory attributes (just SELinux at the moment). * tests/cp/cp-a-selinux: Check not only failures, but succesful use of preserving SELinux context in cp.

tests: avoid failure of cp/link-heap on some systems

2008-11-30T18:15:51Z

* tests/cp/link-heap: Raise virtual memory limit from 10,000 to 14,000, to avoid failure on Debian/unstable (libc6 2.7-16).

cp: use far less memory in some cases

2008-11-20T09:21:52Z

cp --link was "remembering" many name,dev,inode triples unnecessarily. cp was doing the same, even without --link, for every directory in the source hierarchy, while it can do its job with entries merely for the command-line arguments. Prompted by a report from Patrick Shoenfeld. Details . * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Refrain from remembering name,dev,inode for most files, when invoked via cp --link. Record an infloop-avoidance triple for each directory specified on the command line, not for each directory in the source tree. Don't record a dir-triple when x->hard_link is set. * NEWS (Buf fixes): Mention it. * tests/cp/link-heap: New file. Test for cp's lowered memory usage. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-heap.

tests: add a test of cp --preserve=links

2008-11-20T09:21:52Z

* tests/cp/link-preserve: Add a case and comments.

tests: use "Exit $fail", not (exit $fail); exit $fail

2008-09-10T11:20:10Z

* tests/test-lib.sh (Exit): New function by Ralf Wildenhues in automake http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63 * tests/**: Convert all uses: This restrictive change converted the vast majority: git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^$exit \$fail$; exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/' And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk: git grep -l -E '$exit [^)]+$; exit ' \ | xargs perl -pi -e 's/$exit (.+?)$; exit \1/Exit $1/'
