By not clearing the request buffer in stateless-rpc mode, fetch-pack would keep sending already known-common commits, leading to ever bigger http requests, eventually getting too large for git-http-backend to handle properly without filling up the pipe buffer in inflate_request. --- I'm still not quite sure whether this is the right thing to do, but make test still passes :) The new testcase demonstrates the problem, when running t5551 with EXPENSIVE, this test will hang without the patch to fetch-pack.c and succeed otherwise. fetch-pack.c | 1 - t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fetch-pack.c b/fetch-pack.c index 655ee64..258245c 100644 --- a/fetch-pack.c +++ b/fetch-pack.c @@ -410,7 +410,6 @@ static int find_common(struct fetch_pack_args *args, */ const char *hex = sha1_to_hex(result_sha1); packet_buf_write(&req_buf, "have %s\n", hex); - state_len = req_buf.len; } mark_common(commit, 0, 1); retval = 0; diff --git a/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh b/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh index 6cbc12d..2aac237 100755 --- a/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh +++ b/t/t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh @@ -245,5 +245,37 @@ test_expect_success EXPENSIVE 'clone the 50,000 tag repo to check OS command lin ) ' +test_expect_success EXPENSIVE 'create 50,000 more tags' ' + ( + cd "$HTTPD_DOCUMENT_ROOT_PATH/repo.git" && + for i in `test_seq 50001 100000` + do + echo "commit refs/heads/too-many-refs-again" + echo "mark :$i" + echo "committer git <git@xxxxxxxxxxx> $i +0000" + echo "data 0" + echo "M 644 inline bla.txt" + echo "data 4" + echo "bla" + # make every commit dangling by always + # rewinding the branch after each commit + echo "reset refs/heads/too-many-refs-again" + echo "from :50001" + done | git fast-import --export-marks=marks && + + # now assign tags to all the dangling commits we created above + tag=$(perl -e "print \"bla\" x 30") && + sed -e "s|^:\([^ ]*\) \(.*\)$|\2 refs/tags/$tag-\1|" <marks >>packed-refs + ) +' + +test_expect_success EXPENSIVE 'fetch the new tags' ' + ( + cd too-many-refs && + git fetch --tags && + test $(git for-each-ref refs/tags | wc -l) = 100000 + ) +' + stop_httpd test_done -- 2.1.0-245-g26e60d4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
