tmp-objdir: disable ref updates when replacing the primary odb

2021-12-08T22:06:46Z

When creating a subprocess with a temporary ODB, we set the GIT_QUARANTINE_ENVIRONMENT env var to tell child Git processes not to update refs, since the tmp-objdir may go away. Introduce a similar mechanism for in-process temporary ODBs when we call tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb. Now both mechanisms set the disable_ref_updates flag on the odb, which is queried by the ref_transaction_prepare function. Peff's test case [1] was invoking ref updates via the cachetextconv setting. That particular code silently does nothing when a ref update is forbidden. See the call to notes_cache_put in fill_textconv where errors are ignored.

tmp-objdir: new API for creating temporary writable databases

2021-12-08T22:06:36Z

The tmp_objdir API provides the ability to create temporary object directories, but was designed with the goal of having subprocesses access these object stores, followed by the main process migrating objects from it to the main object store or just deleting it. The subprocesses would view it as their primary datastore and write to it. Here we add the tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb function that replaces the current process's writable "main" object directory with the specified one. The previous main object directory is restored in either tmp_objdir_migrate or tmp_objdir_destroy. For the --remerge-diff usecase, add a new `will_destroy` flag in `struct object_database` to mark ephemeral object databases that do not require fsync durability. Add 'git prune' support for removing temporary object databases, and make sure that they have a name starting with tmp_ and containing an operation-specific name.

tests: disable fsync everywhere

2021-10-29T17:22:40Z

The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data. Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes. Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison purposes. SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will still use fsync in various places. This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains undocumented for end users. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

repack, prune: drop GIT_REF_PARANOIA settings

2021-09-27T19:36:45Z

Now that GIT_REF_PARANOIA is the default, we don't need to selectively enable it for destructive operations. In fact, it's harmful to do so, because it overrides any GIT_REF_PARANOIA=0 setting that the user may have provided (because they're trying to work around some corruption). With these uses gone, we can further clean up the ref_paranoia global, and make it a static variable inside the refs code.

environment.c: remove test-specific "ignore_untracked..." variable

2021-09-22T20:15:00Z

Instead of the global ignore_untracked_cache_config variable added in dae6c322fa1 (test-dump-untracked-cache: don't modify the untracked cache, 2016-01-27) we can make use of the new facility to set config via environment variables added in d8d77153eaf (config: allow specifying config entries via envvar pairs, 2021-01-12). It's arguably a bit hacky to use setenv() and getenv() to pass messages between the same program, but since the test helpers are not the main intended audience of repo-settings.c I think it's better than hardcoding the test-only special-case in prepare_repo_settings(). This uses the xsetenv() wrapper added in the preceding commit, if we don't set these in the environment we'll fail in t7063-status-untracked-cache.sh, but let's fail earlier anyway if that were to happen. This breaks any parent process that's potentially using the GIT_CONFIG_* and GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS mechanism to pass one-shot config setting down to a git subprocess, but in this case we don't care about the general case of such potential parents. This process neither spawns other "git" processes, nor is it interested in other configuration. We might want to pick up other test modes here, but those will be passed via GIT_TEST_* environment variables. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

wrapper.c: add x{un,}setenv(), and use xsetenv() in environment.c

2021-09-22T20:15:00Z

Add fatal wrappers for setenv() and unsetenv(). In d7ac12b25d3 (Add set_git_dir() function, 2007-08-01) we started checking its return value, and since 48988c4d0c3 (set_git_dir: die when setenv() fails, 2018-03-30) we've had set_git_dir_1() die if we couldn't set it. Let's provide a wrapper for both, this will be useful in many other places, a subsequent patch will make another use of xsetenv(). The checking of the return value here is over-eager according to setenv(3) and POSIX. It's documented as returning just -1 or 0, so perhaps we should be checking -1 explicitly. Let's just instead die on any non-zero, if our C library is so broken as to return something else than -1 on error (and perhaps not set errno?) the worst we'll do is die with a nonsensical errno value, but we'll want to die in either case. Let's make these return "void" instead of "int". As far as I can tell there's no other x*() wrappers that needed to make the decision of deviating from the signature in the C library, but since their return value is only used to indicate errors (so we'd die here), we can catch unreachable code such as if (xsetenv(...) < 0) [...]; I think it would be OK skip the NULL check of the "name" here for the calls to die_errno(). Almost all of our setenv() callers are taking a constant string hardcoded in the source as the first argument, and for the rest we can probably assume they've done the NULL check themselves. Even if they didn't, modern C libraries are forgiving about it (e.g. glibc formatting it as "(null)"), on those that aren't, well, we were about to die anyway. But let's include the check anyway for good measure. 1. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/functions/setenv.html Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
