On certain file systems, there are issues with staging a commit because
a call to open a file stored under .git/objects fails. It has been
brought up in this discussion group previously.
I have attached a fix below, but it would be much better to fix in the
code. I am curious first, before proposing a fix in the code (although
I can't find the specific call in the source at
https://github.com/git/git ), what the reasoning is for the current
permissions check on the call rather than checking the contents of the
opened tmp file.
cc -Wall -O3 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -c -o githack.o githack.c; gcc -o
githack.so -nostartfiles -shared githack.o -ldl;
LD_PRELOAD=./githack.so git commit -a -m "Some new commit"
The code is below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
//#define openat ignorethisopen
#define open ignorethisopen
#define open64 ignorethisopen64
#include <fcntl.h>
//#undef openat
#undef open
#undef open64
#include <dlfcn.h>
/*
'strace git ...' will show git fail on an openat() command
this is probably implemented as open64() on your system
you can confirm this by use of 'ltrace git ...'
you may also need to adjust the oflag comparison of 194
*/
/*static int (*___openat)(int, char *, int, mode_t);*/
static int (*___open)(const char *, int, mode_t);
static int (*___open64)(const char *, int, mode_t);
static void* dlwrap(const char *fn)
{
const char *e;
void *p = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, fn);
if ((e=dlerror())!=0) fprintf(stderr, "dlsym(RTLD_NEXT,'%s'):

return p;
}

}
/*int openat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int oflag, mode_t mode)*/

{
if (oflag && oflag == 194)
return ___open(pathname, oflag, S_IRWXU);
return ___open(pathname, oflag, mode);
}
int open64(const char *pathname, int oflag, mode_t mode)
{
if (oflag && oflag == 194)
return ___open64(pathname, oflag, S_IRWXU);
return ___open64(pathname, oflag, mode);
}
