We often try to open a file for reading whose existence is

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its
contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure
to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to
report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O
error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).
The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and
ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno
with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so.
* jc/noent-notdir:
treewide: use is_missing_file_error() where ENOENT and ENOTDIR are checked
compat-util: is_missing_file_error()
Using the is_missing_file_error() helper introduced in the previous
step, update all hits from
$ git grep -e ENOENT --and -e ENOTDIR
There are codepaths that only check ENOENT, and it is possible that
some of them should be checking both. Updating them is kept out of
this step deliberately, as we do not want to change behaviour in this
step.

There are many callsites which could use write_file, but for
which it is a little awkward because they have a strbuf or
other pointer/len combo. Specifically:
1. write_file() takes a format string, so we have to use
"%s" or "%.*s", which are ugly.
2. Using any form of "%s" does not handle embedded NULs in
the output. That probably doesn't matter for our
call-sites, but it's nicer not to have to worry.
3. It's less efficient; we format into another strbuf
just to do the write. That's probably not measurably
slow for our uses, but it's simply inelegant.
We can fix this by providing a helper to write out the
formatted buffer, and just calling it from write_file().
Note that we don't do the usual "complete with a newline"
that write_file does. If the caller has their own buffer,
there's a reasonable chance they're doing something more
complicated than a single line, and they can call
strbuf_complete_line() themselves.
We could go even further and add strbuf_write_file(), but it
doesn't save much:
- write_file_buf(path, sb.buf, sb.len);
+ strbuf_write_file(&sb, path);
It would also be somewhat asymmetric with strbuf_read_file,
which actually returns errors rather than dying (and the
error handling is most of the benefit of write_file() in the
first place).

write(2) can hit the same EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors as read(2),

* xinetd provides no way to set the non-blocking flag at all
But theoretically, it's possible a careless C10K HTTP server

REALLOC_ARRAY inherently involves a multiplication which can
overflow size_t, resulting in a much smaller buffer than we
think we've allocated. We can easily harden it by using
st_mult() to check for overflow. Likewise, we can add
ALLOC_ARRAY to do the same thing for xmalloc calls.
xcalloc() should already be fine, because it takes the two
factors separately, assuming the system calloc actually
checks for overflow. However, before we even hit the system
calloc(), we do our memory_limit_check, which involves a
multiplication. Let's check for overflow ourselves so that
this limit cannot be bypassed.

The man page of read(2) says:
EAGAIN The file descriptor fd refers to a file other than a socket
and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read
would block.
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
The file descriptor fd refers to a socket and has been marked
nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. POSIX.1-2001
allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not
require these constants to have the same value, so a portable
application should check for both possibilities.
If we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK the fd must have set O_NONBLOCK.
As the intent of xread is to read as much as possible either until the
fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd
by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not
busy waiting.
We should not care if the call to poll failed, as we're in an infinite

There are a number of places in the code where we call
sprintf(), with the assumption that the output will fit into
the buffer. In many cases this is true (e.g., formatting a
number into a large buffer), but it is hard to tell
immediately from looking at the code. It would be nice if we
had some run-time check to make sure that our assumption is
correct (and to communicate to readers of the code that we
are not blindly calling sprintf, but have actually thought
about this case).
This patch introduces xsnprintf, which behaves just like
snprintf, except that it dies whenever the output is
truncated. This acts as a sort of assert() for these cases,
which can help find places where the assumption is violated
(as opposed to truncating and proceeding, which may just
silently give a wrong answer).

we chomp our calls to read(2) and write(2) into chunks of
MAX_IO_SIZE bytes (8 MiB), because a large IO results in a bad
latency when the program needs to be killed. This also brought our
IO below SSIZE_MAX, which is a limit POSIX allows read(2) and
write(2) to fail when the IO size exceeds it, for OS X, where a
problem was originally reported.
However, there are other systems that define SSIZE_MAX smaller than
our default, and feeding 8 MiB to underlying read(2)/write(2) would
fail. Make sure we clip our calls to the lower limit as well.

Before we proceed to opportunistically update the index (often done

that internally refreshes the index), we must verify that the
current index file is the same as the one that we read earlier
before we took the lock on it, in order to avoid a possible race.
In the example below git-status does "opportunistic update" and
git-rebase updates the index, but the race can happen in general.
1. process A calls git-rebase (or does anything that uses the index)
2. process A applies 1st commit
3. process B calls git-status (or does anything that updates the index)
4. process B reads index
5. process A applies 2nd commit
6. process B takes the lock, then overwrites process A's changes.
7. process A applies 3rd commit
As an end result the 3rd commit will have a revert of the 2nd commit.
When process B takes the lock, it needs to make sure that the index
