Deadlock between git-remote-http and git fetch-pack

Hi there,
While investigating a hung job in our CI system today, I think I found
a deadlock in git-remote-http

Git version: 2.9.3
Linux (amd64) kernel 4.9.0

Excerpt from the process list:

jenkins  27316  0.0  0.0  18508  6024 ?        S    19:30   0:00  |
               \_ git -C ../../../arista fetch --unshallow
jenkins  27317  0.0  0.0 169608 10916 ?        S    19:30   0:00  |
                   \_ git-remote-http origin http://gerrit/arista
jenkins  27319  0.0  0.0  24160  8260 ?        S    19:30   0:00  |
                       \_ git fetch-pack --stateless-rpc --stdin
--lock-pack --include-tag --thin --no-progress --depth=2147483647
http://gerrit/arista/

Here PID 27319 (git fetch-pack) is stuck reading on stdin, while its
parent, PID 27317 (git-remote-http) is stuck reading on its child’s
stdout.  Nothing has moved for like 2h, it’s deadlocked.

> strace -fp 27319
strace: Process 27319 attached
read(0,

Here FD 0 is a pipe:

~ @8a33a534e2f7> lsof -np 27319 | grep 0r
git     27319 jenkins    0r  FIFO   0,10      0t0 354519158 pipe

The writing end of which is owned by the parent process:

~ @8a33a534e2f7> lsof -n 2>/dev/null | fgrep 354519158
git-remot 27317                jenkins    4w     FIFO   0,10      0t0
354519158 pipe
git       27319                jenkins    0r     FIFO   0,10      0t0
354519158 pipe

And the parent process (git-remote-http) is stuck reading from another FD:

> strace -fp 27317
strace: Process 27317 attached
read(5,

And here FD 5 is another pipe:

~ @8a33a534e2f7> lsof -np 27317 | grep 5r
git-remot 27317 jenkins    5r  FIFO   0,10      0t0 354519159 pipe

Which is the child’s stdout:

> lsof -n 2>/dev/null | fgrep 354519159
git-remot 27317                jenkins    5r     FIFO   0,10      0t0
354519159 pipe
git       27319                jenkins    1w     FIFO   0,10      0t0
354519159 pipe

Hence the deadlock.

#9  0x000055f6886dff7b in handle_builtin ()
#10 0x000055f6886df026 in main ()

I looked at the diff between v2.9.3 and HEAD on fetch-pack.c and
remote-curl.c and didn’t see anything noteworthy in that area of the
code, so I presume the bug is still there in master.
