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.

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.
