object-file: fix a unpack_loose_header() regression in 3b6a8db3b03

2022-05-12T22:42:26Z

Fix a regression in my 3b6a8db3b03 (object-file.c: use "enum" return type for unpack_loose_header(), 2021-10-01) revealed both by running the test suite with --valgrind, and with the amended "git fsck" test. In practice this regression in v2.34.0 caused us to claim that we couldn't parse the header, as opposed to not being able to unpack it. Before the change in the C code the test_cmp added here would emit: -error: unable to unpack header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 +error: unable to parse header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 I.e. we'd proceed to call parse_loose_header() on the uninitialized "hdr" value, and it would have been very unlikely for that uninitialized memory to be a valid git object. The other callers of unpack_loose_header() were already checking the enum values exhaustively. See 3b6a8db3b03 and 5848fb11acd (object-file.c: return ULHR_TOO_LONG on "header too long", 2021-10-01).

object-file: pass filename to fsync_or_die

2022-03-30T21:46:47Z

If we die while trying to fsync a loose object file, pass the actual filename we're trying to sync. This is likely to be more helpful for a user trying to diagnose the cause of the failure than the former 'loose object file' string. It also sidesteps any concerns about translating the die message differently for loose objects versus something else that has a real path.

core.fsync: introduce granular fsync control infrastructure

2022-03-10T23:10:22Z

This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing for specific components. If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values. This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to the refs backend. Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components list are in other patches in the series to separate review of the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

object-file API: pass an enum to read_object_with_reference()

2022-02-26T01:16:32Z

Change the read_object_with_reference() function to take an "enum object_type". It was not prepared to handle an arbitrary "const char *type", as it was itself calling type_from_string(). Let's change the only caller that passes in user data to use type_from_string(), and convert the rest to use e.g. "OBJ_TREE" instead of "tree_type". The "cat-file" caller is not on the codepath that handles"--allow-unknown", so the type_from_string() there is safe. Its use of type_from_string() doesn't functionally differ from that of the pre-image. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-file.c: add a literal version of write_object_file_prepare()

2022-02-26T01:16:32Z

Split off a *_literally() variant of the write_object_file_prepare() function. To do this create a new "hash_object_body()" static helper. We now defer the type_name() call until the very last moment in format_object_header() for those callers that aren't "hash-object --literally".

object-file API: have hash_object_file() take "enum object_type"

2022-02-26T01:16:32Z

Change the hash_object_file() function to take an "enum object_type". Since a preceding commit all of its callers are passing either "{commit,tree,blob,tag}_type", or the result of a call to type_name(), the parse_object() caller that would pass NULL is now using stream_object_signature().
