http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to buffer When http-backend spawns "upload-pack" to do ref negotiation, it streams the http request body to upload-pack, who then streams the http response back to the client as it reads. In theory, git can go full-duplex; the client can consume our response while it is still sending the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any intermediate proxies. In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically: 1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend. 2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends the result to upload-pack. 3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because it's busy writing (step 1). This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend, http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack blocks writing to Apache). We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input, because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_ stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the client. The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But there are a few important things to note: 1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous 100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable on the off chance that you don't mind spending some extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work. 2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary size, and we should connect the input directly to receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though, because we do not produce any output until the whole packfile has been read. For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may generate a lot of output, there is no request body at all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).

convert "enum date_mode" into a struct In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the date_mode enum into a struct. Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}" constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the enum labels as constants, like: show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL); Ideally we could say: show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL }); but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an actual address. Our options are basically: 1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }" definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch statement). 2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822", "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness is defined in one place. 3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant. But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not matter. This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep the size of the callers sane.

http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to buffer When http-backend spawns "upload-pack" to do ref negotiation, it streams the http request body to upload-pack, who then streams the http response back to the client as it reads. In theory, git can go full-duplex; the client can consume our response while it is still sending the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any intermediate proxies. In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically: 1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend. 2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends the result to upload-pack. 3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because it's busy writing (step 1). This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend, http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack blocks writing to Apache). We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input, because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_ stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the client. The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But there are a few important things to note: 1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous 100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable on the off chance that you don't mind spending some extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work. 2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary size, and we should connect the input directly to receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though, because we do not produce any output until the whole packfile has been read. For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may generate a lot of output, there is no request body at all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).

http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to buffer When http-backend spawns "upload-pack" to do ref negotiation, it streams the http request body to upload-pack, who then streams the http response back to the client as it reads. In theory, git can go full-duplex; the client can consume our response while it is still sending the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any intermediate proxies. In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically: 1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend. 2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends the result to upload-pack. 3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because it's busy writing (step 1). This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend, http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack blocks writing to Apache). We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input, because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_ stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the client. The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But there are a few important things to note: 1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous 100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable on the off chance that you don't mind spending some extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work. 2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary size, and we should connect the input directly to receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though, because we do not produce any output until the whole packfile has been read. For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we similarly do not need to buffer.

add an extra level of indirection to main() There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In others it is a requirement for using certain functions in libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called git_extract_argv0_path()). Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c version of main(). However, there are still a few external commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are not always consistent. Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can run this standard startup. We basically have two options to do this: - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a wrapper that calls mingw_startup(). The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the preprocessor. The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is quietly inserting new code. - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(), and git.c's main() calls them. This is much more explicit, which may make things more obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_ cmd_foo() to call). The downside is that each of the builtins must define cmd_foo(), instead of just main(). This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is linked against. We link common-main.o against anything that links against libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main() function automatically (it has no callers). The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main(). I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which means that all of the programs also need to match its signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to "const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well. This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature (which also matches the way builtins are defined).

In theory, git can go full-duplex; the client can consume our response while it is still sending the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any intermediate proxies. In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically: 1.

Apache isn't reading because it's busy writing (step 1). This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend, http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack blocks writing to Apache). We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input, because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_ stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the client. The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But there are a few important things to note: 1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous 100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable on the off chance that you don't mind spending some extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work. 2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary size, and we should connect the input directly to receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though, because we do not produce any output until the whole packfile has been read. For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may generate a lot of output, there is no request body at all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).
