pack-bitmap.c: check preferred pack validity when opening MIDX bitmap When pack-objects adds an entry to its packing list, it marks the packfile and offset containing the object, which we may later use during verbatim reuse (c.f., `write_reused_pack_verbatim()`). If the packfile in question is deleted in the background (e.g., due to a concurrent `git repack`), we'll die() as a result of calling use_pack(), unless we have an open file descriptor on the pack itself. 4c08018204 (pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs, 2011-10-14) worked around this by opening the pack ahead of time before recording it as a valid source for reuse. 4c08018204's treatment meant that we could tolerate disappearing packs, since it ensures we always have an open file descriptor on any pack that we mark as a valid source for reuse. This tightens the race to only happen when we need to close an open pack's file descriptor (c.f., the caller of `packfile.c::get_max_fd_limit()`) _and_ that pack was deleted, in which case we'll complain that a pack could not be accessed and die(). The pack bitmap code does this, too, since prior to dc1daacdcc (pack-bitmap: check pack validity when opening bitmap, 2021-07-23) it was vulnerable to the same race. The MIDX bitmap code does not do this, and is vulnerable to the same race. Apply the same treatment as dc1daacdcc to the routine responsible for opening the multi-pack bitmap's preferred pack to close this race. This patch handles the "preferred" pack (c.f., the section "multi-pack-index reverse indexes" in Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt) specially, since pack-objects depends on reusing exact chunks of that pack verbatim in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap(). So if that pack cannot be loaded, the utility of a bitmap is significantly diminished. Similar to dc1daacdcc, we could technically just add this check in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap(), since it's possible to use a MIDX .bitmap without needing to open any of its packs. But it's simpler to do the check as early as possible, covering all direct uses of the preferred pack. Note that doing this check early requires us to call prepare_midx_pack() early, too, so move the relevant part of that loop from load_reverse_index() into open_midx_bitmap_1(). Subsequent patches handle the non-preferred packs in a slightly different fashion. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
