Tim Ansell discovered his Debian server didn't permit git-daemon to
use as much memory as it needed to handle cloning a project with
a 128 MiB packfile. Filtering the strace provided by Tim of the
rev-list child showed this gem of a sequence:
open("./objects/pack/pack-*.pack", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE <unfinished ...>
<... open resumed> ) = 5
OK, so the packfile is fd 5...
mmap2(NULL, 33554432, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = 0xb5e2d000
and we mapped one 32 MiB window from it at position 0...
mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
And we asked for another window further into the file. But got
denied. In Tim's case this was due to a resource limit on the
git-daemon process, and its children.
Now where are we in the code? We're down inside use_pack(),
after we have called unuse_one_window() enough times to make sure
we stay within our allowed maximum window size. However since we
didn't unmap the prior window at 0xb5e2d000 we aren't exceeding
the current limit (which probably was just the defaults).
But we're actually down inside xmmap()...
So we release the window we do have (by calling release_pack_memory),
assuming there is some memory pressure...
munmap(0xb5e2d000, 33554432 <unfinished ...>
<... munmap resumed> ) = 0
close(5 <unfinished ...>
<... close resumed> ) = 0
And that was the last window in this packfile. So we closed it.
Way to go us. Our xmmap did not expect release_pack_memory to
close the fd its about to map...
mmap2(NULL, 31020635, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0x6000 <unfinished ...>
<... mmap2 resumed> ) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
And so the Linux kernel happily tells us f' off.
write(2, "fatal: ", 7 <unfinished ...>
<... write resumed> ) = 7
write(2, "Out of memory? mmap failed: Bad "..., 47 <unfinished ...>
<... write resumed> ) = 47
And we report the bad file descriptor error, and not the ENOMEM,
and die, claiming we are out of memory. But actually that mmap
should have succeeded, as we had enough memory for that window,
seeing as how we released the prior one.
Originally when I developed the sliding window mmap feature I had
this exact same bug in fast-import, and I dealt with it by handing
in the struct packed_git* we want to open the new window for, as the
caller wasn't prepared to reopen the packfile if unuse_one_window
closed it. The same is true here from xmmap, but the caller doesn't
have the struct packed_git* handy. So I'm using the file descriptor
instead to perform the same test.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value,
but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway)
in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that
their packed size exceeds 4 GiB.
By using off_t, the POSIX type that is declared to mean an offset
within a file, we support whatever maximum file size the underlying
operating system will handle. For most modern systems this is up
around 2^60 or higher.

This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects
reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects.
There were actually two independent and confusing problems:
- when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would
return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and
confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have
been there forever.
- when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found",
which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist",
it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt.
So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is
a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for
a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have
fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it
goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does
something sane in this case too?).
And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly
clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or
corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit

In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.
We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all
MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call
fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows
to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot
mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our
callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap.

If we are about to fail because this process has run out of memory we
should first try to automatically control our appetite for address
space by releasing enough least-recently-used pack windows to gain
back enough memory such that we might actually be able to meet the
current allocation request.
This should help users who have fairly large repositories but are
working on systems with relatively small virtual address space.
Many times we see reports on the mailing list of these users running
out of memory during various Git operations. Dynamically decreasing
the amount of pack memory used when the demand for heap memory is
increasing is an intelligent solution to this problem.

If the compiler has asked us to disable use of mmap() on their
platform then we are forced to use git_mmap and its emulation via
pread. In this case large (e.g. 32 MiB) windows for pack access
are simply too big as a command will wind up reading a lot more
data than it will ever need, significantly reducing response time.
To prevent a high latency when NO_MMAP has been selected we now
use a default of 1 MiB for core.packedGitWindowSize. Credit goes
to Linus and Junio for recommending this more reasonable setting.

As Fredrik points out the current interface of has_extension() is
potentially confusing. Its parameters include both a nul-terminated

This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated
strings; all callsites are updated. I checked that all of them indeed
provide nul-terminated strings. Filenames need to be nul-terminated
anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc. The performance penalty
of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls
which inevitably surround has_extension() calls.
Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of
int, as that is the exact type strlen() returns and memcmp() expects.

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";

This declares such construct like this:
