I think this is the right direction, and overall it looks pretty good. There's one call that gave me pause: > -int prepare_bitmap_git(void) > +struct bitmap_index *prepare_bitmap_git(void) > { > - if (bitmap_git.loaded) > - return 0; > + struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = xcalloc(1, sizeof(*bitmap_git)); This function used to be idempotent, so any code which wanted to use the global bitmap_git could call it "just in case". After your patch, it's not. I think it's probably OK, since such functions would generally now take a bitmap_git argument and use that (e.g., rebuild_existing_bitmaps works that way after your patch). > - if (!open_pack_bitmap()) > - return load_pack_bitmap(); > + if (!open_pack_bitmap(bitmap_git) && !load_pack_bitmap(bitmap_git)) > + return bitmap_git; > > - return -1; > + return NULL; > } We probably need to free(bitmap_git) before returning NULL here (this is still in prepare_bitmap_git()). > @@ -662,12 +686,11 @@ int prepare_bitmap_walk(struct rev_info *revs) > struct bitmap *wants_bitmap = NULL; > struct bitmap *haves_bitmap = NULL; > > - if (!bitmap_git.loaded) { > - /* try to open a bitmapped pack, but don't parse it yet > - * because we may not need to use it */ > - if (open_pack_bitmap() < 0) > - return -1; > - } > + struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = xcalloc(1, sizeof(*bitmap_git)); > + /* try to open a bitmapped pack, but don't parse it yet > + * because we may not need to use it */ > + if (open_pack_bitmap(bitmap_git) < 0) > + return NULL; Ditto here (and probably other error returns lower in the function, but I didn't go through it carefully). -Peff
