refs: check for D/F conflicts among refs created in a transaction If two references that D/F conflict (e.g., "refs/foo" and "refs/foo/bar") are created in a single transaction, the old code discovered the problem only after the "commit" phase of ref_transaction_commit() had already begun. This could leave some references updated and others not, which violates the promise of atomicity. Instead, check for such conflicts during the "locking" phase: * Teach is_refname_available() to take an "extras" parameter that can contain extra reference names with which the specified refname must not conflict. * Change lock_ref_sha1_basic() to take an "extras" parameter, which it passes through to is_refname_available(). * Change ref_transaction_commit() to pass "affected_refnames" to lock_ref_sha1_basic() as its "extras" argument. This change fixes a test case in t1404. This code is a bit stricter than it needs to be. We could conceivably allow reference "refs/foo/bar" to be created in the same transaction as "refs/foo" is deleted (or vice versa). But that would be complicated to implement, because it is not possible to lock "refs/foo/bar" while "refs/foo" exists as a loose reference, but on the other hand we don't want to delete some references before adding others (because that could leave a gap during which required objects are unreachable). There is also a complication that reflog files' paths can conflict. Any less-strict implementation would probably require tricks like the packing of all references before the start of the real transaction, or the use of temporary intermediate reference names. So for now let's accept too-strict checks. Some reference update transactions will be rejected unnecessarily, but they will be rejected in their entirety rather than leaving the repository in an intermediate state, as would happen now. Please note that there is still one kind of D/F conflict that is *not* handled correctly. If two processes are running at the same time, and one tries to create "refs/foo" at the same time that the other tries to create "refs/foo/bar", then they can race with each other. Both processes can obtain their respective locks ("refs/foo.lock" and "refs/foo/bar.lock"), proceed to the "commit" phase of ref_transaction_commit(), and then the slower process will discover that it cannot rename its lockfile into place (after possibly having committed changes to other references). There appears to be no way to fix this race without changing the locking policy, which in turn would require a change to *all* Git clients. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

refs/files-backend: handle packed transaction prepare failure In files_transaction_prepare(), if we have to delete some refs, we use a subordinate packed_transaction to do so. It's rare for that sub-transaction's prepare step to fail, since we hold the packed-refs lock. But if it does, we trigger a BUG() due to these steps: - we've attached the packed transaction to the files transaction as backend_data->packed_transaction - when the prepare step fails, the packed transaction cleans itself up, putting itself into the CLOSED state - the error value from preparing the packed transaction lets us know in files_transaction_prepare() that we should also clean up and return an error. We call files_transaction_cleanup(), which tries to abort backend_data->packed_transaction. Since it's already CLOSED, that triggers an assertion in ref_transaction_abort(). We can fix that by disconnecting the packed transaction from the outer files transaction, and then free-ing (not aborting!) it ourselves. A few other options/alternatives I considered: - we could just make it a noop to abort a CLOSED transaction. But that seems less safe, since clearly this code expects (and enforces) a particular set of state transitions. - we could have files_transaction_cleanup() selectively call abort() vs free() based on the state of the on the packed transaction. That's basically a more restricted version of the above, but also potentially unsafe. - instead of disconnecting backend_data->packed_transaction on error, we could wait to install it until we successfully prepare. That might make the flow a little simpler, but it introduces a hassle. Earlier parts of files_transaction_prepare() that encounter an error will jump to the cleanup label, and expect that cleaning up the outer transaction will clean up the packed transaction, too. We'd have to adjust those sites to clean up the packed transaction. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
