When writing a large blob using "write_loose_object()", we have to pass
a buffer with the whole content of the blob, and this behavior will
consume lots of memory and may cause OOM. We will introduce a stream
version function ("stream_loose_object()") in later commit to resolve
this issue.
Before introducing that streaming function, do some refactoring on
"write_loose_object()" to reuse code for both versions.
Rewrite "write_loose_object()" as follows:
1. Figure out a path for the (temp) object file. This step is only
used in "write_loose_object()".
2. Move common steps for starting to write loose objects into a new
function "start_loose_object_common()".
3. Compress data.
4. Move common steps for ending zlib stream into a new function
"end_loose_object_common()".
5. Close fd and finalize the object file.

We don't bother to freshen objects stored in a cruft pack individually
by updating the `.mtimes` file. This is because we can't portably `mmap`
and write into the middle of a file (i.e., to update the mtime of just
one object). Instead, we would have to rewrite the entire `.mtimes` file
which may incur some wasted effort especially if there a lot of cruft
objects and they are freshened infrequently.
Instead, force the freshening code to avoid an optimizing write by
writing out the object loose and letting it pick up a current mtime.
This works because we prefer the mtime of the loose copy of an object
when both a loose and packed one exist (whether or not the packed copy
comes from a cruft pack or not).
This could certainly do with a test and/or be included earlier in this
series/PR, but I want to wait until after I have a chance to clean up
the overly-repetitive nature of the cruft pack tests in general.

Teach `pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack when no objects are
dropped (i.e., `--cruft-expiration=never`). Later patches will teach
`pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack that prunes objects.
When generating a cruft pack which does not prune objects, we want to
collect all unreachable objects into a single pack (noting and updating
their mtimes as we accumulate them). Ordinary use will pass the result
of a `git repack -A` as a kept pack, so when this patch says "kept
pack", readers should think "reachable objects".
Generating a non-expiring cruft packs works as follows:
- Callers provide a list of every pack they know about, and indicate
which packs are about to be removed.
- All packs which are going to be removed (we'll call these the
redundant ones) are marked as kept in-core.
Any packs the caller did not mention (but are known to the
`pack-objects` process) are also marked as kept in-core. Packs not
mentioned by the caller are assumed to be unknown to them, i.e.,
they entered the repository after the caller decided which packs
should be kept and which should be discarded.
Since we do not want to include objects in these "unknown" packs
(because we don't know which of their objects are or aren't
reachable), these are also marked as kept in-core.
- Then, we enumerate all objects in the repository, and add them to
our packing list if they do not appear in an in-core kept pack.
This results in a new cruft pack which contains all known objects that
aren't included in the kept packs. When the kept pack is the result of
`git repack -A`, the resulting pack contains all unreachable objects.

This switch statement was recently added to make it clear that
unpack_loose_header() returns an enum value, not an int. This adds
complications for future developers if that enum gains new values, since
that developer would need to add a case statement to this switch for
little real value.
Instead, we can revert back to an 'if' statement, but make the enum
explicit by using "!= ULHR_OK" instead of assuming it has the numerical
value zero.

Fix a regression in my 3b6a8db3b0 (object-file.c: use "enum" return
type for unpack_loose_header(), 2021-10-01) revealed both by running
the test suite with --valgrind, and with the amended "git fsck" test.
In practice this regression in v2.34.0 caused us to claim that we
couldn't parse the header, as opposed to not being able to unpack
it. Before the change in the C code the test_cmp added here would emit:
-error: unable to unpack header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
+error: unable to parse header of ./objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
I.e. we'd proceed to call parse_loose_header() on the uninitialized
"hdr" value, and it would have been very unlikely for that
uninitialized memory to be a valid git object.
The other callers of unpack_loose_header() were already checking the
enum values exhaustively. See 3b6a8db3b0 and
5848fb11ac (object-file.c: return ULHR_TOO_LONG on "header too long",

When adding many objects to a repo with `core.fsync=loose-object`,
the cost of fsync'ing each object file can become prohibitive.
One major source of the cost of fsync is the implied flush of the
hardware writeback cache within the disk drive. This commit introduces
a new `core.fsyncMethod=batch` option that batches up hardware flushes.
It hooks into the bulk-checkin odb-transaction functionality, takes
advantage of tmp-objdir, and uses the writeout-only support code.
When the new mode is enabled, we do the following for each new object:
1a. Create the object in a tmp-objdir.
2a. Issue a pagecache writeback request and wait for it to complete.
At the end of the entire transaction when unplugging bulk checkin:
1b. Issue an fsync against a dummy file to flush the log and hardware
writeback cache, which should by now have seen the tmp-objdir writes.
2b. Rename all of the tmp-objdir files to their final names.
3b. When updating the index and/or refs, we assume that Git will issue
another fsync internal to that operation. This is not the default
today, but the user now has the option of syncing the index and there
is a separate patch series to implement syncing of refs.
On a filesystem with a singular journal that is updated during name
operations (e.g. create, link, rename, etc), such as NTFS, HFS+, or XFS
we would expect the fsync to trigger a journal writeout so that this
sequence is enough to ensure that the user's data is durable by the time
the git command returns. This sequence also ensures that no object files
appear in the main object store unless they are fsync-durable.
Batch mode is only enabled if core.fsync includes loose-objects. If
the legacy core.fsyncObjectFiles setting is enabled, but core.fsync does
not include loose-objects, we will use file-by-file fsyncing.
In step (1a) of the sequence, the tmp-objdir is created lazily to avoid
work if no loose objects are ever added to the ODB. We use a tmp-objdir
to maintain the invariant that no loose-objects are visible in the main
ODB unless they are properly fsync-durable. This is important since
future ODB operations that try to create an object with specific
contents will silently drop the new data if an object with the target
hash exists without checking that the loose-object contents match the
hash. Only a full git-fsck would restore the ODB to a functional state
where dataloss doesn't occur.
In step (1b) of the sequence, we issue a fsync against a dummy file
created specifically for the purpose. This method has a little higher
cost than using one of the input object files, but makes adding new
callers of this mechanism easier, since we don't need to figure out
which object file is "last" or risk sharing violations by caching the fd
of the last object file.

If we die while trying to fsync a loose object file, pass the actual
filename we're trying to sync. This is likely to be more helpful for a
user trying to diagnose the cause of the failure than the former
'loose object file' string. It also sidesteps any concerns about
translating the die message differently for loose objects versus
something else that has a real path.

This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync
configuration knob. The repository components we want to sync
are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.
If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.
This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.
Actual configuration and documentation of the fsync components
list are in other patches in the series to separate review of
the underlying mechanism from the policy of how it's configured.

The "cat-file" caller is not on the codepath that

provided, and otherwise call write_sha1_file().
Now we'll always call the same function for both writing. Let's rename
it from hash_*_literally() to write_*_literally(). Even though the
write_*() might not actually write if HASH_WRITE_OBJECT isn't in
"flags", having it be more similar to write_object_file_flags() than
hash_object_file(), but carrying a name that would suggest that it's a

Split up the check_object_signature() function into that non-streaming
version (it accepts an already filled "buf"), and a new
stream_object_signature() which will retrieve the object from storage,
and hash it on-the-fly.
All of the callers of check_object_signature() were effectively
calling two different functions, if we go by cyclomatic
complexity. I.e. they'd either take the early "if (map)" branch and
return early, or not. This has been the case since the "if (map)"
condition was added in 090ea12671 (parse_object: avoid putting whole
blob in core, 2012-03-07).
We can then further simplify the resulting check_object_signature()
function since only one caller wanted to pass a non-NULL "buf" and a
non-NULL "real_oidp". That "read_loose_object()" codepath used by "git
fsck" can instead use hash_object_file() followed by oideq().

Add a convenience function to wrap the xsnprintf() command that

parts of the codebase, let's define it in one place and re-use it from
there.
All except one caller of it had a valid "enum object_type" for us,
it's only write_object_file_prepare() which might need to deal with
"git hash-object --literally" and a potential garbage type. Let's have
the primary API use an "enum object_type", and define a *_literally()
function that can take an arbitrary "const char *" for the type.
See [1] for the discussion that prompted this patch, i.e. new code in
object-file.c that wanted to copy/paste the xsnprintf() invocation.
In the case of fast-import.c the callers unfortunately need to cast
back & forth between "unsigned char *" and "char *", since
format_object_header() ad encode_in_pack_object_header() take
different signedness.

The tmp_objdir API provides the ability to create temporary object
directories, but was designed with the goal of having subprocesses
access these object stores, followed by the main process migrating
objects from it to the main object store or just deleting it. The
subprocesses would view it as their primary datastore and write to it.
Here we add the tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb function that replaces
the current process's writable "main" object directory with the
specified one. The previous main object directory is restored in either
tmp_objdir_migrate or tmp_objdir_destroy.
For the --remerge-diff usecase, add a new `will_destroy` flag in `struct
object_database` to mark ephemeral object databases that do not require
fsync durability.
Add 'git prune' support for removing temporary object databases, and
make sure that they have a name starting with tmp_ and containing an

strvec_pushv(&child.env_array, env->v);
But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check,
since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec",
e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value.
Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a
follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an
"_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look
at the history of how they came to be.
But as we've currently got 122 in-tree hits for a "git grep env_array"
let's leave that for now (and possibly forever). Doing that rename
would be too disruptive.

Regression fix.
* ab/fsck-unexpected-type:
object-file: free(*contents) only in read_loose_object() caller
object-file: fix SEGV on free() regression in v2.34.0-rc2
In the preceding commit a free() of uninitialized memory regression in
96e41f58fe (fsck: report invalid object type-path combinations,
2021-10-01) was fixed, but we'd still have an issue with leaking
memory from fsck_loose(). Let's fix that issue too.
That issue was introduced in my 31deb28f5e (fsck: don't hard die on
invalid object types, 2021-10-01). It can be reproduced under
SANITIZE=leak with the test I added in 093fffdfbe (fsck tests: add
test for fsck-ing an unknown type, 2021-10-01):
./t1450-fsck.sh --run=84 -vixd
In some sense it's not a problem, we lost the same amount of memory in
terms of things malloc'd and not free'd. It just moved from the "still
reachable" to "definitely lost" column in valgrind(1) nomenclature[1],
since we'd have die()'d before.
But now that we don't hard die() anymore in the library let's properly
free() it. Doing so makes this code much easier to follow, since we'll
now have one function owning the freeing of the "contents" variable,
not two.
For context on that memory management pattern the read_loose_object()
function was added in f6371f9210 (sha1_file: add read_loose_object()
function, 2017-01-13) and subsequently used in c68b489e56 (fsck:
parse loose object paths directly, 2017-01-13). The pattern of it
being the task of both sides to free() the memory has been there in
this form since its inception.

Fix a regression introduced in my 96e41f58fe (fsck: report invalid
object type-path combinations, 2021-10-01). When fsck-ing blobs larger
than core.bigFileThreshold, we'd free() a pointer to uninitialized
memory.
This issue would have been caught by SANITIZE=address, but since it
involves core.bigFileThreshold, none of the existing tests in our test
suite covered it.
Running them with the "big_file_threshold" in "environment.c" changed
to say "6" would have shown this failure, but let's add a dedicated
test for this scenario based on Han Xin's report[1].
The bug was introduced between v9 and v10[2] of the fsck series merged
in 061a21d36d (Merge branch 'ab/fsck-unexpected-type', 2021-10-25).

This introduces an additional guard for platforms where `unsigned long`
and `size_t` are not of the same size. If the size of an object in the
database would overflow `unsigned long`, instead we now exit with an
error.
A complete fix will have to update _many_ other functions throughout the
codebase to use `size_t` instead of `unsigned long`. It will have to be
implemented at some stage.
This commit puts in a stop-gap for the time being.

Fix a regression in the error output emitted when .git/objects can't
be written to. Before 9c4d6c0297 (cache-tree: Write updated
cache-tree after commit, 2014-07-13) we'd emit only one "insufficient
permission" error, now we'll do so again.
The cause is rather straightforward, we've got WRITE_TREE_SILENT for
the use-case of wanting to prepare an index silently, quieting any
permission etc. error output. Then when we attempt to update to
that (possibly broken) index we'll run into the same errors again.
But with 9c4d6c0297 the gap between the cache-tree API and the object
store wasn't closed in terms of asking write_object_file() to be
silent. I.e. post-9c4d6c0297b the first call is to prepare_index(),
and after that we'll call prepare_to_commit(). We only want verbose
error output from the latter.
So let's add and use that facility with a corresponding HASH_SILENT
flag, its only user is cache-tree.c's update_one(), which will set it
if its "WRITE_TREE_SILENT" flag is set.

In a35e03dee0 ("submodule: lazily add submodule ODBs as alternates",
2021-09-08), Git was taught to add all known submodule ODBs as
alternates when attempting to read an object that doesn't exist, as a
fallback for when a submodule object is read as if it were in
the_repository. However, this behavior wasn't restricted to happen only
when reading from the_repository. Fix this.
