This loads SRWLock APIs at runtime and in their absence (i.e. on
Windows before Vista) falls back on a regular CRITICAL_SECTION
that will not permit concurrent readers.
This converts an internal lock from a write lock to a read lock
where write isn't needed, and also clarifies some doc things about
where various locks are acquired and how various APIs are intended
to be used.
This adds thread safety to the refdb_fs by using the new
git_sortedcache object and also by relaxing the handling of some
filesystem errors where the fs may be changed out from under us.
This also adds some new threading tests that hammer on the refdb.
The refdb_fs implementation calls realloc directly on a reference
object when it wants to rename it. It is not a public object, so
this doesn't mess with the immutability of references, but it does
assume certain constraints on the reference representation. This
commit wraps that assumption in an isolated API to isolate it.
This adds a convenient new data type for caching the contents of
file in memory when each item in that file corresponds to a name
and you need to both be able to lookup items by name and iterate
over them in some sorted order. The new data type has locks in
place to manage usage in a threaded environment.
If there were symbolic refs among the loose refs then the code
to create packed-refs would fail trying to parse the OID out of
them (where Git just skips trying to pack them). This fixes it.
p_inet_pton on Windows should set errno properly for callers.
Rewrite p_inet_pton to handle error cases correctly and add
test cases to exercise this function.
When implementing the ssh testing, the move to the script made it so
the first test suite's exit code was ignored. Check whether the main
tests fail and exit with an error in that case.
Report the index being locked with its own error code in order to be
able to differentiate, as a locked index is typically the result of a
crashed process or concurrent access, both of which often require user
intervention to fix.
If none of the backends support direct writes and we must stream the
whole file, we already know what the object's id should be; so use the
stream's functions directly, bypassing the frontend's hashing and
overwriting of our existing id.
Clarify the role of each function and in particular mention that there
is no need for the backend or stream to worry about the object's id,
as it will be given when `finalize_write` is called.
The frontend is in charge of calculating the id of the objects. Thus
the backends should treat it as a read-only value. The positioning in
the function signature made it seem as though it was an output
parameter.
Make the id const and move it from the front to behind the subject
(backend or stream).
When dealing with a chain of tags, we need to enqueue each of them
individually, which means we can't use `git_tag_peel` as that jumps
over the intermediate tags.
Do the peeling manually so we can look at each object and take the
appropriate action.
Hash the data as it's coming into the stream and tell the backend what
its name is when finalizing the write. This makes it consistent with
the way a plain git_odb_write() performs the write.
This is in preparation for moving the hashing to the frontend, which
requires us to handle the incoming data before passing it to the
backend's stream.
