Merge branch 'en/dir-traversal'

2021-05-19T23:54:59Z

"git clean" and "git ls-files -i" had confusion around working on or showing ignored paths inside an ignored directory, which has been corrected. * en/dir-traversal: dir: introduce readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper dir: update stale description of treat_directory() dir: traverse into untracked directories if they may have ignored subfiles dir: avoid unnecessary traversal into ignored directory t3001, t7300: add testcase showcasing missed directory traversal t7300: add testcase showing unnecessary traversal into ignored directory ls-files: error out on -i unless -o or -c are specified dir: report number of visited directories and paths with trace2 dir: convert trace calls to trace2 equivalents

dir: introduce readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper

2021-05-12T23:45:03Z

Many places in the code were doing while ((d = readdir(dir)) != NULL) { if (is_dot_or_dotdot(d->d_name)) continue; ...process d... } Introduce a readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper to make that a one-liner: while ((d = readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot(dir)) != NULL) { ...process d... } This helper particularly simplifies checks for empty directories. Also use this helper in read_cached_dir() so that our statistics are consistent across platforms. (In other words, read_cached_dir() should have been using is_dot_or_dotdot() and skipping such entries, but did not and left it to treat_path() to detect and mark such entries as path_none.)

dir: report number of visited directories and paths with trace2

2021-05-12T23:45:02Z

Provide more statistics in trace2 output that include the number of directories and total paths visited by the directory traversal logic. Subsequent patches will take advantage of this to ensure we do not unnecessarily traverse into ignored directories. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

*: remove 'const' qualifier for struct index_state

2021-04-14T20:46:00Z

Several methods specify that they take a 'struct index_state' pointer with the 'const' qualifier because they intend to only query the data, not change it. However, we will be introducing a step very low in the method stack that might modify a sparse-index to become a full index in the case that our queries venture inside a sparse-directory entry. This change only removes the 'const' qualifiers that are necessary for the following change which will actually modify the implementation of index_name_stage_pos().

exclude: add flags parameter to add_patterns()

2021-02-16T17:41:33Z

There are a number of callers of add_patterns() and its sibling functions. Let's give them a "flags" parameter for adding new options without having to touch each caller. We'll use this in a future patch to add O_NOFOLLOW support. But for now each caller just passes 0. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

sparse-checkout: load sparse-checkout patterns

2021-01-24T01:14:07Z

A future feature will want to load the sparse-checkout patterns into a pattern_list, but the current mechanism to do so is a bit complicated. This is made difficult due to needing to find the sparse-checkout file in different ways throughout the codebase. The logic implemented in the new get_sparse_checkout_patterns() was duplicated in populate_from_existing_patterns() in unpack-trees.c. Use the new method instead, keeping the logic around handling the struct unpack_trees_options. The callers to get_sparse_checkout_filename() in builtin/sparse-checkout.c manipulate the sparse-checkout file directly, so it is not appropriate to replace logic in that file with get_sparse_checkout_patterns().

dir: fix problematic API to avoid memory leaks

2020-08-19T00:17:31Z

The dir structure seemed to have a number of leaks and problems around it. First I noticed that parent_hashmap and recursive_hashmap were being leaked (though Peff noticed and submitted fixes before me). Then I noticed in the previous commit that clear_directory() was only taking responsibility for a subset of fields within dir_struct, despite the fact that entries[] and ignored[] we allocated internally to dir.c. That, of course, resulted in many callers either leaking or haphazardly trying to free these arrays and their contents. Digging further, I found that despite the pretty clear documentation near the top of dir.h that folks were supposed to call clear_directory() when the user no longer needed the dir_struct, there were four callers that didn't bother doing that at all. However, two of them clearly thought about leaks since they had an UNLEAK(dir) directive, which to me suggests that the method to free the data was too unclear. I suspect the non-obviousness of the API and its holes led folks to avoid it, which then snowballed into further problems with the entries[], ignored[], parent_hashmap, and recursive_hashmap problems. Rename clear_directory() to dir_clear() to be more in line with other data structures in git, and introduce a dir_init() to handle the suggested memsetting of dir_struct to all zeroes. I hope that a name like "dir_clear()" is more clear, and that the presence of dir_init() will provide a hint to those looking at the code that they need to look for either a dir_clear() or a dir_free() and lead them to find dir_clear().

dir: make clear_directory() free all relevant memory

2020-08-19T00:17:29Z

The calling convention for the dir API is supposed to end with a call to clear_directory() to free up no longer needed memory. However, clear_directory() didn't free dir->entries or dir->ignored. I believe this was an oversight, but a number of callers noticed memory leaks and started free'ing these. Unfortunately, they did so somewhat haphazardly (sometimes freeing the entries in the arrays, and sometimes only free'ing the arrays themselves). This suggests the callers weren't trying to make sure any possible memory used might be free'd, but just the memory they noticed their usecase definitely had allocated. Fix this mess by moving all the duplicated free'ing logic into clear_directory(). End by resetting dir to a pristine state so it could be reused if desired.
