We normally try to avoid having two auto-gc operations run at the same time, because it wastes resources. This was done long ago in64a99eb47
(gc: reject if another gc is running, unless --force is given, 2013-08-08). When we do a detached auto-gc, we run the ref-related commands _before_ detaching, to avoid confusing lock contention. This was done by62aad1849
(gc --auto: do not lock refs in the background, 2014-05-25). These two features do not interact well. The pre-detach operations are run before we check the gc.pid lock, meaning that on a busy repository we may run many of them concurrently. Ideally we'd take the lock before spawning any operations, and hold it for the duration of the program. This is tricky, though, with the way the pid-file interacts with the daemonize() process. Other processes will check that the pid recorded in the pid-file still exists. But detaching causes us to fork and continue running under a new pid. So if we take the lock before detaching, the pid-file will have a bogus pid in it. We'd have to go back and update it with the new pid after detaching. We'd also have to play some tricks with the tempfile subsystem to tweak the "owner" field, so that the parent process does not clean it up on exit, but the child process does. Instead, we can do something a bit simpler: take the lock only for the duration of the pre-detach work, then detach, then take it again for the post-detach work. Technically, this means that the post-detach lock could lose to another process doing pre-detach work. But in the long run this works out. That second process would then follow-up by doing post-detach work. Unless it was in turn blocked by a third process doing pre-detach work, and so on. This could in theory go on indefinitely, as the pre-detach work does not repack, and so need_to_gc() will continue to trigger. But in each round we are racing between the pre- and post-detach locks. Eventually, one of the post-detach locks will win the race and complete the full gc. So in the worst case, we may racily repeat the pre-detach work, but we would never do so simultaneously (it would happen via a sequence of serialized race-wins).
