git/submodule.c, branch v2.8.2

Merge branch 'sb/submodule-parallel-fetch'

2016-03-04T21:46:30Z

Simplify the two callback functions that are triggered when the child process terminates to avoid misuse of the child-process structure that has already been cleaned up. * sb/submodule-parallel-fetch: run-command: do not pass child process data into callbacks

run-command: do not pass child process data into callbacks

2016-03-01T17:42:01Z

The expected way to pass data into the callback is to pass them via the customizable callback pointer. The error reporting in default_{start_failure, task_finished} is not user friendly enough, that we want to encourage using the child data for such purposes. Furthermore the struct child data is cleaned by the run-command API, before we access them in the callbacks, leading to use-after-free situations.

use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation

2016-02-22T22:51:09Z

If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their additions and multiplications into overflow-checking variants. This may be fixing real bugs, and it makes auditing the code easier. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

config: rename git_config_set_or_die to git_config_set

2016-02-22T18:23:55Z

Rename git_config_set_or_die functions to git_config_set, leading to the new default behavior of dying whenever a configuration error occurs. By now all callers that shall die on error have been transitioned to the _or_die variants, thus making this patch a simple rename of the functions.

config: rename git_config_set to git_config_set_gently

2016-02-22T18:23:55Z

The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into inconsistent repositories without noticing. As some code may rely on the actual return values for `git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set` functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for those callers. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

submodule: die on config error when linking modules

2016-02-22T18:23:52Z

When trying to connect a submodule with its corresponding repository in '.git/modules' we try to set the core.worktree setting in the submodule, which may fail due to an error encountered in `git_config_set_in_file`. The function is used in the git-mv command when trying to move a submodule to another location. We already die when renaming a file fails but do not pay attention to the case where updating the connection between submodule and its repository fails. As this leaves the repository in an inconsistent state, as well, abort the program by dying early and presenting the failure to the user.

submodules: allow parallel fetching, add tests and documentation

This enables the work of the previous patches. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fetch_populated_submodules: use new parallel job processing

2015-12-16T20:06:08Z

In a later patch we enable parallel processing of submodules, this only adds the possibility for it. So this change should not change any user facing behavior. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
