When cleaning up a transaction that has no updates queued, then the
transaction's backend data will not have been allocated. We correctly
handle this for the packed backend, where the cleanup function checks
whether the backend data has been allocated at all -- if not, then there
is nothing to clean up. For the files backend we do not check this and
as a result will hit a segfault due to dereferencing a `NULL` pointer
when cleaning up such a transaction.
Fix the issue by checking whether `backend_data` is set in the files
backend, too.

We often skip an optional prefix in a string with a hardcoded
constant, e.g.
if (starts_with(string, "prefix"))
string += 6;
which is less error prone when written
skip_prefix(string, "prefix", &string);
Note that this changes a few error messages from "git reflog expire
--expire=nonsense.timestamp", which used to complain by saying
'--expire=nonsense.timestamp' is not a valid timestamp
but with this change, we say
'nonsense.timestamp' is not a valid timestamp
which is more technically correct (the string with --expire= as
a prefix obviously cannot be a valid timestamp, but the error is
about the part of the input without that prefix).

"git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
is getting corrected.
* sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix:
pack-refs: always refresh after taking the lock file
When a packed ref is deleted, the whole packed-refs file is
rewritten to omit the ref that no longer exists. However if another
gc command is running and calls `pack-refs --all` simultaneously,
there is a chance that a ref that was just updated lose the newly
created commits.
Through these steps, losing commits on newly updated refs can be
demonstrated:
# step 1: compile git without `USE_NSEC` option
Some kernel releases do enable it by default while some do
not. And if we compile git without `USE_NSEC`, it will be easier
demonstrated by the following steps.
# step 2: setup a repository and add the first commit
git init repo &&
(cd repo &&
git config core.logallrefupdates true &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo)
# step 3: in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd repo &&
while true
do
git pack-refs --all
done
# step 4: in another terminal, simultaneously update the
# master with update-ref, and create and delete an
# unrelated ref also with update-ref
cd repo &&
while true
do
us=$(git commit-tree -m foo -p HEAD HEAD^{tree}) &&
git update-ref refs/heads/newbranch $us &&
git update-ref refs/heads/master $us &&
git update-ref -d refs/heads/newbranch &&
them=$(git rev-parse master) &&
if test "$them" != "$us"
then
echo >&2 "lost commit: $us"
exit 1
fi
# eye candy
printf .
done
Though we have the packed-refs lock file and loose refs lock
files to avoid updating conflicts, a ref will lost its newly
commits if racy stat-validity of `packed-refs` file happens
(which is quite same as the racy-git described in
`Documentation/technical/racy-git.txt`), the following
specific set of operations demonstrates the problem:
1. Call `pack-refs --all` to pack all the loose refs to
packed-refs, and let say the modify time of the
packed-refs is DATE_M.
2. Call `update-ref` to update a new commit to master while
it is already packed. the old value (let us call it
OID_A) remains in the packed-refs file and write the new
value (let us call it OID_B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.
3. Call `update-ref -d` within the same DATE_M from the 1th
step to delete a different ref newbranch which is packed
in the packed-refs file. It check newbranch's oid from
packed-refs file without locking it.
Meanwhile it keeps a snapshot of the packed-refs file in
memory and record the file's attributes with the snapshot.
The oid of master in the packed-refs's snapshot is OID_A.
4. Call a new `pack-refs --all` to pack the loose refs, the
oid of master in packe-refs file is OID_B, and the loose
refs $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master is removed. Let's say
the `pack-refs --all` is very quickly done and the new
packed-refs file's modify time is still DATE_M, and it
has the same file size, even the same inode.
5. 3th step now goes on after checking the newbranch, it
begin to rewrite the packed-refs file. After get the
lock file of packed-ref file, it checks it's on-disk
file attributes with the snapshot, suck as the timestamp,
the file size and the inode value. If they are both the
same values, and the snapshot is not refreshed.
Because the loose ref of master is removed by 4th step,
`update-ref -d` will updates the new packed-ref to disk
which contains master with the oid OID_A. So now the
newly commit OID_B of master is lost.
The best path forward is just always refreshing after take
the lock file of `packed-refs` file. Traditionally we avoided
that because refreshing it implied parsing the whole file.
But these days we mmap it, so it really is just an extra
open()/mmap() and a quick read of the header. That doesn't seem
like an outrageous cost to pay when we're already taking the lock.

Add the possibility of giving flags to dir_iterator_begin to initialize

Currently possible flags are:
- DIR_ITERATOR_PEDANTIC, which makes dir_iterator_advance abort
immediately in the case of an error, instead of keep looking for the
next valid entry;
- DIR_ITERATOR_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, which makes the iterator follow
symlinks and include linked directories' contents in the iteration.
These new flags will be used in a subsequent patch.

dir_iterator_advance() is a large function with two nested loops. Let's
improve its readability factoring out three functions and simplifying
its mechanics. The refactored model will no longer depend on
level.initialized and level.dir_state to keep track of the iteration
state and will perform on a single loop.
Also, dir_iterator_begin() currently does not check if the given string
represents a valid directory path. Since the refactored model will have
to stat() the given path at initialization, let's also check for this
kind of error and make dir_iterator_begin() return NULL, on failures,
with errno appropriately set. And add tests for this new behavior.
Improve documentation at dir-iteration.h and code comments at
dir-iterator.c to reflect the changes and eliminate possible
ambiguities.
Finally, adjust refs/files-backend.c to check for now possible
dir_iterator_begin() failures.

A corner case bug in the refs API has been corrected.
* jk/refs-double-abort:
refs/files-backend: don't look at an aborted transaction
refs/files-backend: handle packed transaction prepare failure
"git rebase" uses the refs/rewritten/ hierarchy to store its
intermediate states, which inherently makes the hierarchy per
worktree, but it didn't quite work well.

files-backend.c: reduce duplication in add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir()

When deleting refs, we hold packed-refs.lock and prepare a packed
transaction to drop the refs from the packed-refs file. If it turns out
that we don't need to rewrite the packed refs (e.g., because none of the
deletions were present in the file), then we abort the transaction.
If that abort succeeds, then the transaction struct will have been
freed, and we set our local pointer to NULL so we don't look at it
again.
However, if it fails, then the struct will _still_ have been freed
(because ref_transaction_abort() always frees). But we don't clean up
the pointer, and will jump to our cleanup code, which will try to abort
it again, causing a use-after-free.
It's actually impossible for this to trigger in practice, since
packed_transaction_abort() will never return anything but success. But
let's fix it anyway, since that's more than we should assume about the
packed-refs code (after all, we are already bothering to check for an
error result which cannot be triggered).

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.

a9be29c981 (sequencer: make refs generated by the `label` command
worktree-local, 2018-04-25) adds refs/rewritten/ as per-worktree
reference space. Unfortunately (my bad) there are a couple places that
need update to make sure it's really per-worktree.
- add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is updated to make sure ref listing
look at per-worktree refs/rewritten/ instead of per-repo one [1]
- common_list[] is updated so that git_path() returns the correct
location. This includes "rev-parse --git-path".
This mess is created by me. I started trying to fix it with the
introduction of refs/worktree, where all refs will be per-worktree
without special treatments. Unfortunate refs/rewritten came before
refs/worktree so this is all we can do.
This also fixes logs/refs/worktree not being per-worktree.
[1] note that ref listing still works sometimes. For example, if you
have .git/worktrees/foo/refs/rewritten/bar AND the directory
.git/worktrees/refs/rewritten, refs/rewritten/bar will show up.
add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is only needed when the directory
.git/worktrees/refs/rewritten is missing.

One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree
refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by
multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another
worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree.
The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is
also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to
differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store
around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store".
But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the
current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called
"refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store
is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax.
So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we
make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So
"HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have
"worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named
"blah". This syntax coincidentally matches the underlying directory
structure which makes implementation a bit easier.
The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's
special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is
acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of
"worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary
worktree.
This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in
another one, e.g.
git log worktrees/foo/HEAD

This is the flip side of the previous two patches: checking
for a non-zero oidcmp() can be more strictly expressed as
inequality. Like those patches, we write "!= 0" in the
coccinelle transformation, which covers by isomorphism the
more common:
if (oidcmp(E1, E2))
As with the previous two patches, this patch can be achieved
almost entirely by running "make coccicheck"; the only
differences are manual line-wrap fixes to match the original
code.
There is one thing to note for anybody replicating this,
though: coccinelle 1.0.4 seems to miss the case in
builtin/tag.c, even though it's basically the same as all
the others. Running with 1.0.7 does catch this, so
presumably it's just a coccinelle bug that was fixed in the

Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

When we initially added the strbuf_readlink() function in
b11b7e13f4 (Add generic 'strbuf_readlink()' helper function,
2008-12-17), the point was that we generally have a _guess_
as to the correct size based on the stat information, but we
can't necessarily trust it.
Over the years, a few callers have grown up that simply pass
in 0, even though they have the stat information. Let's have
them pass in their hint for consistency (and in theory
efficiency, since it may avoid an extra resize/syscall loop,
but neither location is probably performance critical).
Note that st.st_size is actually an off_t, so in theory we
need xsize_t() here. But none of the other callsites use it,
and since this is just a hint, it doesn't matter either way
(if we wrap we'll simply start with a too-small hint and
then eventually complain when we cannot allocate the
memory).

even if a user returns early, leaving a locked lock behind.)
These `struct lock_file`s are local to their respective functions and we
can drop their staticness.
For good measure, I have inspected these sites and come to believe that
they always release the lock, with the possible exception of bailing out
using `die()` or `exit()` or by returning from a `cmd_foo()`.
As pointed out by Jeff King, it would be bad if someone held on to a
`struct lock_file *` for some reason. After some grepping, I agree with
