Jeff King d2d7fbe129 diff: discard blob data from stat-unmatched pairs
When performing a tree-level diff against the working tree, we may find
that our index stat information is dirty, so we queue a filepair to be
examined later. If the actual content hasn't changed, we call this a
stat-unmatch; the stat information was out of date, but there's no
actual diff.  Normally diffcore_std() would detect and remove these
identical filepairs via diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch().  However, when
"--quiet" is used, we want to stop the diff as soon as we see any
changes, so we check for stat-unmatches immediately in diff_change().

That check may require us to actually load the file contents into the
pair of diff_filespecs. If we find that the pair isn't a stat-unmatch,
then no big deal; we'd likely load the contents later anyway to generate
a patch, do rename detection, etc, so we want to hold on to it. But if
it is a stat-unmatch, then we have no more use for that data; the whole
point is that we're going discard the pair. However, we never free the
allocated diff_filespec data.

In most cases, keeping that data isn't a problem. We don't expect a lot
of stat-unmatch entries, and since we're using --quiet, we'd quit as
soon as we saw such a real change anyway. However, there are extreme
cases where it makes a big difference:

  1. We'd generally mmap() the working tree half of the pair. And since
     the OS may limit the total number of maps, we can run afoul of this
     in large repositories. E.g.:

       $ cd linux
       $ git ls-files | wc -l
       67959
       $ sysctl vm.max_map_count
       vm.max_map_count = 65530
       $ git ls-files | xargs touch ;# everything is stat-dirty!
       $ git diff --quiet
       fatal: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory

     It should be unusual to have so many files stat-dirty, but it's
     possible if you've just run a script like "sed -i" or similar.

     After this patch, the above correctly exits with code 0.

  2. Even if you don't hit mmap limits, the index half of the pair will
     have been pulled from the object database into heap memory. Again
     in a clone of linux.git, running:

       $ git ls-files | head -n 10000 | xargs touch
       $ git diff --quiet

     peaks at 145MB heap before this patch, and 94MB after.

This patch solves the problem by freeing any diff_filespec data we
picked up during the "--quiet" stat-unmatch check in diff_changes.
Nobody is going to need that data later, so there's no point holding on
to it. There are a few things to note:

  - we could skip queueing the pair entirely, which could in theory save
    a little work. But there's not much to save, as we need a
    diff_filepair to feed to diff_filespec_check_stat_unmatch() anyway.
    And since we cache the result of the stat-unmatch checks, a later
    call to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() call will quickly skip over
    them. The diffcore code also counts up the number of stat-unmatched
    pairs as it removes them. It's doubtful any callers would care about
    that in combination with --quiet, but we'd have to reimplement the
    logic here to be on the safe side. So it's not really worth the
    trouble.

  - I didn't write a test, because we always produce the correct output
    unless we run up against system mmap limits, which are both
    unportable and expensive to test against. Measuring peak heap
    would be interesting, but our perf suite isn't yet capable of that.

  - note that diff without "--quiet" does not suffer from the same
    problem. In diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), we detect the stat-unmatch
    entries and drop them immediately, so we're not carrying their data
    around.

  - you _can_ still trigger the mmap limit problem if you truly have
    that many files with actual changes. But it's rather unlikely. The
    stat-unmatch check avoids loading the file contents if the sizes
    don't match, so you'd need a pretty trivial change in every single
    file. Likewise, inexact rename detection might load the data for
    many files all at once. But you'd need not just 64k changes, but
    that many deletions and additions. The most likely candidate is
    perhaps break-detection, which would load the data for all pairs and
    keep it around for the content-level diff. But again, you'd need 64k
    actually changed files in the first place.

    So it's still possible to trigger this case, but it seems like "I
    accidentally made all my files stat-dirty" is the most likely case
    in the real world.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

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):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
