The find_temp_filename() method was created in 53a5089 (bundle-uri: create basic file-copy logic, 2022-08-09) and uses odb_mkstemp() to create a temporary filename. The odb_mkstemp() method uses a strbuf in its interface, but we do not need to continue carrying a strbuf throughout the bundle URI code. Convert the find_temp_filename() method to use a 'char *' and modify its only caller. This makes sense that we don't actually need to modify this filename directly later, so using a strbuf is overkill. This change will simplify the data structure for tracking a bundle list to use plain strings instead of strbufs. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
It will likely be rare where a user uses a single bundle URI and expects that URI to point to a bundle. Instead, that URI will likely be a list of bundles provided in some format. Alternatively, the Git server could advertise a list of bundles. In anticipation of these two ways of advertising multiple bundles, create a data structure that represents such a list. This will be populated using a common API, but for now focus on what data can be represented. Each list contains a number of remote_bundle_info structs. These contain an 'id' that is used to uniquely identify them in the list, and also a 'uri' that contains the location of its data. Finally, there is a strbuf containing the filename used when Git downloads the contents to disk. The list itself stores these remote_bundle_info structs in a hashtable using 'id' as the key. The order of the structs in the input is considered unimportant, but future modifications to the format and these data structures will place ordering possibilities on the set. The list also has a few "global" properties, including the version (used when parsing the list) and the mode. The mode is one of these two options: 1. BUNDLE_MODE_ALL: all listed URIs are intended to be combined together. The client should download all of the advertised data to have a complete copy of the data. 2. BUNDLE_MODE_ANY: any one listed item is sufficient to have a complete copy of the data. The client can choose arbitrarily from these options. In the future, the client may use pings to find the closest URI among geodistributed replicas, or use some other heuristic information added to the format. This API is currently unused, but will soon be expanded with parsing logic and then be consumed by the bundle URI download logic. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
There will be two primary ways to advertise a bundle list: as a list of packet lines in Git's protocol v2 and as a config file served from a bundle URI. Both of these fundamentally use a list of key-value pairs. We will use the same set of key-value pairs across these formats. Create a new bundle_list_update() method that is currently unusued, but will be used in the next change. It inspects each key to see if it is understood and then applies it to the given bundle_list. Here are the keys that we teach Git to understand: * bundle.version: This value should be an integer. Git currently understands only version 1 and will ignore the list if the version is any other value. This version can be increased in the future if we need to add new keys that Git should not ignore. We can add new "heuristic" keys without incrementing the version. * bundle.mode: This value should be one of "all" or "any". If this mode is not understood, then Git will ignore the list. This mode indicates whether Git needs all of the bundle list items to make a complete view of the content or if any single item is sufficient. The rest of the keys use a bundle identifier "<id>" as part of the key name. Keys using the same "<id>" describe a single bundle list item. * bundle.<id>.uri: This stores the URI of the bundle item. This currently is expected to be an absolute URI, but will be relaxed to be a relative URI in the future. While parsing, return an error if a URI key is repeated, since we can make that restriction with bundle lists. Make the git_parse_int() method global so we can parse the integer version value carefully. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
When advertising a bundle list over Git's protocol v2, we will use packet lines. Each line will be of the form "key=value" representing a bundle list. Connect the API necessary for Git's transport to the key-value pair parsing created in the previous change. We are not currently implementing this protocol v2 functionality, but instead preparing to expose this parsing to be unit-testable.

Create a new 'test-tool bundle-uri' test helper. This helper will assist in testing logic deep in the bundle URI feature. This change introduces the 'parse-key-values' subcommand, which parses an input file as a list of lines. These are fed into bundle_uri_parse_line() to test how we construct a 'struct bundle_list' from that data. The list is then output to stdout as if the key-value pairs were a Git config file. We use an input file instead of stdin because of a future change to parse in config-file format that works better as an input file.

When a bundle provider wants to operate independently from a Git remote, they want to provide a single, consistent URI that users can use in their 'git clone --bundle-uri' commands. At this point, the Git client expects that URI to be a single bundle that can be unbundled and used to bootstrap the rest of the clone from the Git server. This single bundle cannot be re-used to assist with future incremental fetches. To allow for the incremental fetch case, teach Git to understand a bundle list that could be advertised at an independent bundle URI. Such a bundle list is likely to be inspected by human readers, even if only by the bundle provider creating the list. For this reason, we can take our expected "key=value" pairs and instead format them using Git config format. Create bundle_uri_parse_config_format() to parse a file in config format and convert that into a 'struct bundle_list' filled with its understanding of the contents. Be careful to use error_action CONFIG_ERROR_ERROR when calling git_config_from_file_with_options() because the default action for git_config_from_file() is to die() on a parsing error. The current warning isn't particularly helpful if it arises to a user, but it will be made more verbose at a higher layer later. Update 'test-tool bundle-uri' to take this config file format as input. It uses a filename instead of stdin because there is no existing way to parse a FILE pointer in the config machinery. Using git_config_from_mem() is overly complicated and more likely to introduce bugs than this simpler version. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
The next change will start allowing us to parse bundle lists that are downloaded from a provided bundle URI. Those lists might point to other lists, which could proceed to an arbitrary depth (and even create cycles). Restructure fetch_bundle_uri() to have an internal version that has a recursion depth. Compare that to a new max_bundle_uri_depth constant that is twice as high as we expect this depth to be for any legitimate use of bundle list linking. We can consider making max_bundle_uri_depth a configurable value if there is demonstrated value in the future. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
derrickstolee force-pushed the bundle-redo/list branch from a6ab8f7 to d845448 Compare derrickstolee force-pushed the bundle-redo/list branch 2 times, most recently from 52a575f to e6fdd7e Compare The verify_bundle() method checks two things for a bundle's prerequisites: 1. Are these objects in the object store? 2. Are these objects reachable from our references? In this second question, multiple uses of verify_bundle() in the same process can report an invalid bundle even though it is correct. The reason is due to not clearing all of the commit marks on the commits previously walked. The revision walk machinery was first introduced in-process by fb9a541 (git-bundle: avoid fork() in verify_bundle(), 2007-02-22). This implementation used "-1" as the set of flags to clear. The next meaningful change came in 2b06469 (revision traversal: retire BOUNDARY_SHOW, 2007-03-05), which introduced the PREREQ_MARK flag instead of a flag normally controlled by the revision-walk machinery. In 86a0a40 (commit: factor out clear_commit_marks_for_object_array, 2011-10-01), the loop over the array of commits was replaced with a new clear_commit_marks_for_object_array(), but simultaneously the "-1" value was replaced with "ALL_REV_FLAGS", which stopped un-setting the PREREQ_MARK flag. This means that if multiple commits were marked by the PREREQ_MARK in a previous run of verify_bundle(), then this loop could terminate early due to 'i' going to zero: while (i && (commit = get_revision(&revs))) if (commit->object.flags & PREREQ_MARK) i--; The flag clearing work was changed again in 6364739 (bundle: avoid using the rev_info flag leak_pending, 2017-12-25), but that was only cosmetic and did not change the behavior. It may seem that it would be sufficient to add the PREREQ_MARK flag to the clear_commit_marks() call in its current location. However, we actually need to do it in the "cleanup:" step, since the first loop checking "Are these objects in the object store?" might add the PREREQ_MARK flag to some objects and then terminate without performing a walk due to one missing object. By clearing the flags in all cases, we avoid this issue when running verify_bundle() multiple times in the same process. Moving this loop to the cleanup step alone would cause a segfault when running 'git bundle verify' outside of a repository, but this is because of that error condition using "goto cleanup" when returning is perfectly safe. Nothing has been initialized at that point, so we can return immediately without causing any leaks. This behavior is verified carefully by a test that will be added soon when Git learns to download bundle lists in a 'git clone --bundle-uri' command.

When the content at a given bundle URI is not understood as a bundle (based on inspecting the initial content), then Git currently gives up and ignores that content. Independent bundle providers may want to split up the bundle content into multiple bundles, but still make them available from a single URI. Teach Git to attempt parsing the bundle URI content as a Git config file providing the key=value pairs for a bundle list. Git then looks at the mode of the list to see if ANY single bundle is sufficient or if ALL bundles are required. The content at the selected URIs are downloaded and the content is inspected again, creating a recursive process. To guard the recursion against malformed or malicious content, limit the recursion depth to a reasonable four for now. This can be converted to a configured value in the future if necessary. The value of four is twice as high as expected to be useful (a bundle list is unlikely to point to more bundle lists). To test this scenario, create an interesting bundle topology where three incremental bundles are built on top of a single full bundle. By using a merge commit, the two middle bundles are "independent" in that they do not require each other in order to unbundle themselves. They each only need the base bundle. The bundle containing the merge commit requires both of the middle bundles, though. This leads to some interesting decisions when unbundling, especially when we later implement heuristics that promote downloading bundles until the prerequisite commits are satisfied.

The verify_bundle() method has a 'verbose' option, but we will want to extend this method to have more granular control over its output. First, replace this 'verbose' option with a new 'flags' option with a single possible value: VERIFY_BUNDLE_VERBOSE. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
When downloading a list of bundles in "all" mode, Git has no understanding of the dependencies between the bundles. Git attempts to unbundle the bundles in some order, but some may not pass the verify_bundle() step because of missing prerequisites. This is passed as error messages to the user, even when they eventually succeed in later attempts after their dependent bundles are unbundled. Add a new VERIFY_BUNDLE_QUIET flag to verify_bundle() that avoids the error messages from the missing prerequisite commits. The method still returns the number of missing prerequisit commits, allowing callers to unbundle() to notice that the bundle failed to apply. Use this flag in bundle-uri.c and test that the messages go away for 'git clone --bundle-uri' commands. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>
When downloading bundles from a git-remote-https subprocess, the bundle URI logic wants to be opportunistic and download as much as possible and work with what did succeed. This is particularly important in the "any" mode, where any single bundle success will work. If the URI is not available, the git-remote-https process will die() with a "fatal:" error message, even though that error is not actually fatal to the super process. Since stderr is passed through, it looks like a fatal error to the user. Suppress stderr to avoid these errors from bubbling to the surface. The bundle URI API adds its own warning() messages on these failures. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1) we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P): ==8340==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0x7f1ec62f97fe at pc 0x7f2127e5f427 bp 0x7ffd3bd63de0 sp 0x7ffd3bd63588 WRITE of size 1 at 0x7f1ec62f97fe thread T0 #0 0x7f2127e5f426 in __interceptor_memcpy /usr/src/debug/gcc/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc:827 #1 0x5628e96aa605 in format_and_pad_commit pretty.c:1762 #2 0x5628e96aa7f4 in format_commit_item pretty.c:1801 #3 0x5628e97cdb24 in strbuf_expand strbuf.c:429 #4 0x5628e96ab060 in repo_format_commit_message pretty.c:1869 #5 0x5628e96acd0f in pretty_print_commit pretty.c:2161 #6 0x5628e95a44c8 in show_log log-tree.c:781 #7 0x5628e95a76ba in log_tree_commit log-tree.c:1117 #8 0x5628e922bed5 in cmd_log_walk_no_free builtin/log.c:508 #9 0x5628e922c35b in cmd_log_walk builtin/log.c:549 #10 0x5628e922f1a2 in cmd_log builtin/log.c:883 #11 0x5628e9106993 in run_builtin git.c:466 #12 0x5628e9107397 in handle_builtin git.c:721 #13 0x5628e9107b07 in run_argv git.c:788 #14 0x5628e91088a7 in cmd_main git.c:923 #15 0x5628e939d682 in main common-main.c:57 #16 0x7f2127c3c28f (/usr/lib/libc.so.6+0x2328f) #17 0x7f2127c3c349 in __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc.so.6+0x23349) #18 0x5628e91020e4 in _start ../sysdeps/x86_64/start.S:115 0x7f1ec62f97fe is located 2 bytes to the left of 4831838265-byte region [0x7f1ec62f9800,0x7f1fe62f9839) allocated by thread T0 here: #0 0x7f2127ebe7ea in __interceptor_realloc /usr/src/debug/gcc/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:85 #1 0x5628e98774d4 in xrealloc wrapper.c:136 #2 0x5628e97cb01c in strbuf_grow strbuf.c:99 #3 0x5628e97ccd42 in strbuf_addchars strbuf.c:327 #4 0x5628e96aa55c in format_and_pad_commit pretty.c:1761 #5 0x5628e96aa7f4 in format_commit_item pretty.c:1801 #6 0x5628e97cdb24 in strbuf_expand strbuf.c:429 #7 0x5628e96ab060 in repo_format_commit_message pretty.c:1869 #8 0x5628e96acd0f in pretty_print_commit pretty.c:2161 #9 0x5628e95a44c8 in show_log log-tree.c:781 #10 0x5628e95a76ba in log_tree_commit log-tree.c:1117 #11 0x5628e922bed5 in cmd_log_walk_no_free builtin/log.c:508 #12 0x5628e922c35b in cmd_log_walk builtin/log.c:549 #13 0x5628e922f1a2 in cmd_log builtin/log.c:883 #14 0x5628e9106993 in run_builtin git.c:466 #15 0x5628e9107397 in handle_builtin git.c:721 #16 0x5628e9107b07 in run_argv git.c:788 #17 0x5628e91088a7 in cmd_main git.c:923 #18 0x5628e939d682 in main common-main.c:57 #19 0x7f2127c3c28f (/usr/lib/libc.so.6+0x2328f) #20 0x7f2127c3c349 in __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc.so.6+0x23349) #21 0x5628e91020e4 in _start ../sysdeps/x86_64/start.S:115 SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow /usr/src/debug/gcc/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc:827 in __interceptor_memcpy Shadow bytes around the buggy address: 0x0fe458c572a0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0fe458c572b0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0fe458c572c0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0fe458c572d0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 0x0fe458c572e0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa =>0x0fe458c572f0: fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa[fa] 0x0fe458c57300: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0fe458c57310: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0fe458c57320: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0fe458c57330: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0x0fe458c57340: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Shadow byte legend (one shadow byte represents 8 application bytes): Addressable: 00 Partially addressable: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 Heap left redzone: fa Freed heap region: fd Stack left redzone: f1 Stack mid redzone: f2 Stack right redzone: f3 Stack after return: f5 Stack use after scope: f8 Global redzone: f9 Global init order: f6 Poisoned by user: f7 Container overflow: fc Array cookie: ac Intra object redzone: bb ASan internal: fe Left alloca redzone: ca Right alloca redzone: cb ==8340==ABORTING The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the `export-subst` attribute.

Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is compiled with the address sanitizer.

It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads. Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator. The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory, which of course segfaults. One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack traces like the following one: + git -c protocol.version=0 -C pc1 fetch --filter=blob:limit=29999 --refetch origin AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL ================================================================= ==657994==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x7fa0f0ec6089 (pc 0x55f23e52ddf9 bp 0x7ffe7bfa1700 sp 0x7ffe7bfa1700 T0) ==657994==The signal is caused by a READ memory access. #0 0x55f23e52ddf9 in get_var_int reftable/record.c:29 #1 0x55f23e53295e in reftable_decode_keylen reftable/record.c:170 #2 0x55f23e532cc0 in reftable_decode_key reftable/record.c:194 #3 0x55f23e54e72e in block_iter_next reftable/block.c:398 #4 0x55f23e5573dc in table_iter_next_in_block reftable/reader.c:240 #5 0x55f23e5573dc in table_iter_next reftable/reader.c:355 #6 0x55f23e5573dc in table_iter_next reftable/reader.c:339 #7 0x55f23e551283 in merged_iter_advance_subiter reftable/merged.c:69 #8 0x55f23e55169e in merged_iter_next_entry reftable/merged.c:123 #9 0x55f23e55169e in merged_iter_next_void reftable/merged.c:172 #10 0x55f23e537625 in reftable_iterator_next_ref reftable/generic.c:175 #11 0x55f23e2cf9c6 in reftable_ref_iterator_advance refs/reftable-backend.c:464 #12 0x55f23e2d996e in ref_iterator_advance refs/iterator.c:13 #13 0x55f23e2d996e in do_for_each_ref_iterator refs/iterator.c:452 #14 0x55f23dca6767 in get_ref_map builtin/fetch.c:623 #15 0x55f23dca6767 in do_fetch builtin/fetch.c:1659 #16 0x55f23dca6767 in fetch_one builtin/fetch.c:2133 #17 0x55f23dca6767 in cmd_fetch builtin/fetch.c:2432 #18 0x55f23dba7764 in run_builtin git.c:484 #19 0x55f23dba7764 in handle_builtin git.c:741 #20 0x55f23dbab61e in run_argv git.c:805 #21 0x55f23dbab61e in cmd_main git.c:1000 #22 0x55f23dba4781 in main common-main.c:64 #23 0x7fa0f063fc89 in __libc_start_call_main ../sysdeps/nptl/libc_start_call_main.h:58 #24 0x7fa0f063fd44 in __libc_start_main_impl ../csu/libc-start.c:360 #25 0x55f23dba6ad0 in _start (git+0xadfad0) (BuildId: 803b2b7f59beb03d7849fb8294a8e2145dd4aa27) While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't. The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore. Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.

In 1b9e9be (csum-file.c: use unsafe SHA-1 implementation when available, 2024-09-26) we have converted our `struct hashfile` to use the unsafe SHA1 backend, which results in a significant speedup. One needs to be careful with how to use that structure now though because callers need to consistently use either the safe or unsafe variants of SHA1, as otherwise one can easily trigger corruption. As it turns out, we have one inconsistent usage in our tree because we directly initialize `struct hashfile_checkpoint::ctx` with the safe variant of SHA1, but end up writing to that context with the unsafe ones. This went unnoticed so far because our CI systems do not exercise different hash functions for these two backends, and consequently safe and unsafe variants are equivalent. But when using SHA1DC as safe and OpenSSL as unsafe backend this leads to a crash an t1050: ++ git -c core.compression=0 add large1 AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL ================================================================= ==1367==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000040 (pc 0x7ffff7a01a99 bp 0x507000000db0 sp 0x7fffffff5690 T0) ==1367==The signal is caused by a READ memory access. ==1367==Hint: address points to the zero page. #0 0x7ffff7a01a99 in EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex (/nix/store/h1ydpxkw9qhjdxjpic1pdc2nirggyy6f-openssl-3.3.2/lib/libcrypto.so.3+0x201a99) (BuildId: 41746a580d39075fc85e8c8065b6c07fb34e97d4) #1 0x555555ddde56 in openssl_SHA1_Clone ../sha1/openssl.h:40:2 #2 0x555555dce2fc in git_hash_sha1_clone_unsafe ../object-file.c:123:2 #3 0x555555c2d5f8 in hashfile_checkpoint ../csum-file.c:211:2 #4 0x555555b9905d in deflate_blob_to_pack ../bulk-checkin.c:286:4 #5 0x555555b98ae9 in index_blob_bulk_checkin ../bulk-checkin.c:362:15 #6 0x555555ddab62 in index_blob_stream ../object-file.c:2756:9 #7 0x555555dda420 in index_fd ../object-file.c:2778:9 #8 0x555555ddad76 in index_path ../object-file.c:2796:7 #9 0x555555e947f3 in add_to_index ../read-cache.c:771:7 #10 0x555555e954a4 in add_file_to_index ../read-cache.c:804:9 #11 0x5555558b5c39 in add_files ../builtin/add.c:355:7 #12 0x5555558b412e in cmd_add ../builtin/add.c:578:18 #13 0x555555b1f493 in run_builtin ../git.c:480:11 #14 0x555555b1bfef in handle_builtin ../git.c:740:9 #15 0x555555b1e6f4 in run_argv ../git.c:807:4 #16 0x555555b1b87a in cmd_main ../git.c:947:19 #17 0x5555561649e6 in main ../common-main.c:64:11 #18 0x7ffff742a1fb in __libc_start_call_main (/nix/store/65h17wjrrlsj2rj540igylrx7fqcd6vq-glibc-2.40-36/lib/libc.so.6+0x2a1fb) (BuildId: bf320110569c8ec2425e9a0c5e4eb7e97f1fb6e4) #19 0x7ffff742a2b8 in __libc_start_main@GLIBC_2.2.5 (/nix/store/65h17wjrrlsj2rj540igylrx7fqcd6vq-glibc-2.40-36/lib/libc.so.6+0x2a2b8) (BuildId: bf320110569c8ec2425e9a0c5e4eb7e97f1fb6e4) #20 0x555555772c84 in _start (git+0x21ec84) ==1367==Register values: rax = 0x0000511000001080 rbx = 0x0000000000000000 rcx = 0x000000000000000c rdx = 0x0000000000000000 rdi = 0x0000000000000000 rsi = 0x0000507000000db0 rbp = 0x0000507000000db0 rsp = 0x00007fffffff5690 r8 = 0x0000000000000000 r9 = 0x0000000000000000 r10 = 0x0000000000000000 r11 = 0x00007ffff7a01a30 r12 = 0x0000000000000000 r13 = 0x00007fffffff6b38 r14 = 0x00007ffff7ffd000 r15 = 0x00005555563b9910 AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info.

An internal customer reported a segfault when running `git sparse-checkout set` with the `index.sparse` config enabled. I was unable to reproduce it locally, but with their help we debugged into the failing process and discovered the following stacktrace: ``` #0 0x00007ff6318fb7b0 in rehash (map=0x3dfb00d0440, newsize=1048576) at hashmap.c:125 #1 0x00007ff6318fbc66 in hashmap_add (map=0x3dfb00d0440, entry=0x3dfb5c58bc8) at hashmap.c:247 #2 0x00007ff631937a70 in hash_index_entry (istate=0x3dfb00d0400, ce=0x3dfb5c58bc8) at name-hash.c:122 #3 0x00007ff631938a2f in add_name_hash (istate=0x3dfb00d0400, ce=0x3dfb5c58bc8) at name-hash.c:638 #4 0x00007ff631a064de in set_index_entry (istate=0x3dfb00d0400, nr=8291, ce=0x3dfb5c58bc8) at sparse-index.c:255 #5 0x00007ff631a06692 in add_path_to_index (oid=0x5ff130, base=0x5ff580, path=0x3dfb4b725da "<redacted>", mode=33188, context=0x5ff570) at sparse-index.c:307 #6 0x00007ff631a3b48c in read_tree_at (r=0x7ff631c026a0 <the_repo>, tree=0x3dfb5b41f60, base=0x5ff580, depth=2, pathspec=0x5ff5a0, fn=0x7ff631a064e5 <add_path_to_index>, context=0x5ff570) at tree.c:46 #7 0x00007ff631a3b60b in read_tree_at (r=0x7ff631c026a0 <the_repo>, tree=0x3dfb5b41e80, base=0x5ff580, depth=1, pathspec=0x5ff5a0, fn=0x7ff631a064e5 <add_path_to_index>, context=0x5ff570) at tree.c:80 #8 0x00007ff631a3b60b in read_tree_at (r=0x7ff631c026a0 <the_repo>, tree=0x3dfb5b41ac8, base=0x5ff580, depth=0, pathspec=0x5ff5a0, fn=0x7ff631a064e5 <add_path_to_index>, context=0x5ff570) at tree.c:80 #9 0x00007ff631a06a95 in expand_index (istate=0x3dfb00d0100, pl=0x0) at sparse-index.c:422 #10 0x00007ff631a06cbd in ensure_full_index (istate=0x3dfb00d0100) at sparse-index.c:456 #11 0x00007ff631990d08 in index_name_stage_pos (istate=0x3dfb00d0100, name=0x3dfb0020080 "algorithm/levenshtein", namelen=21, stage=0, search_mode=EXPAND_SPARSE) at read-cache.c:556 #12 0x00007ff631990d6c in index_name_pos (istate=0x3dfb00d0100, name=0x3dfb0020080 "algorithm/levenshtein", namelen=21) at read-cache.c:566 #13 0x00007ff63180dbb5 in sanitize_paths (argc=185, argv=0x3dfb0030018, prefix=0x0, skip_checks=0) at builtin/sparse-checkout.c:756 #14 0x00007ff63180de50 in sparse_checkout_set (argc=185, argv=0x3dfb0030018, prefix=0x0) at builtin/sparse-checkout.c:860 #15 0x00007ff63180e6c5 in cmd_sparse_checkout (argc=186, argv=0x3dfb0030018, prefix=0x0) at builtin/sparse-checkout.c:1063 #16 0x00007ff6317234cb in run_builtin (p=0x7ff631ad9b38 <commands+2808>, argc=187, argv=0x3dfb0030018) at git.c:548 #17 0x00007ff6317239c0 in handle_builtin (argc=187, argv=0x3dfb0030018) at git.c:808 #18 0x00007ff631723c7d in run_argv (argcp=0x5ffdd0, argv=0x5ffd78) at git.c:877 #19 0x00007ff6317241d1 in cmd_main (argc=187, argv=0x3dfb0030018) at git.c:1017 #20 0x00007ff631838b60 in main (argc=190, argv=0x3dfb0030000) at common-main.c:64 ``` The very bottom of the stack being the `rehash()` method from `hashmap.c` as called within the `name-hash` API made me look at where these hashmaps were being used in the sparse index logic. These were being copied across indexes, which seems dangerous. Indeed, clearing these hashmaps and setting them as not initialized fixes the segfault. The second commit is a response to a test failure that happens in `t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh` where `git stash pop` starts to fail because the underlying `git checkout-index` process fails due to colliding files. Passing the `-f` flag appears to work, but it's unclear why this name-hash change causes that change in behavior.
