I was getting hangs in the test suite, and looking at the previous
commit, we were calling the async completion functions out of the
finalizer for the URI, which is weird. I didn't analyze what's going
wrong, but what we really should be doing is processing our internal
queue after we've downloaded a file, and the request is about to be
finalized.
I suspect doing queue management from the finalizer created a circular
reference type situation.
This patch deduplicates the queue processing bits too.

On a large ostree repository pulling over http slows to a crawl. Pulling
from localhost results in:
5944 metadata, 63734 content objects fetched; 850509 KiB transferred in
1106 seconds
In other words about 800KiB/s. Some profiling shows that essentially
all of the CPU goes into libsoup doing its request bookkeeping instead
of into the actual downloading.
Adding a simple queue to limit to number of active request sent into
libsoup makes for a dramatic improvement:
5944 metadata, 63734 content objects fetched; 850509 KiB transferred
in 89 seconds
So around 9450 KiB/s.

If we had two deployments with different boot checksums, and were
trying to remove the one that was the same and add a new one (the
normal case), we'd end up assuming due to comparison with 0 that
we only needed to do the fast subbootversion swap.
Fix this by actually putting 1 where we really mean 1.
And update the tests to verify the fix; I have double-verified by
undoing the fix, and noting that the test fails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708351
The actual deployment checksum shouldn't be in there, because we may
just swap bootlinks, rendering the name of the old bootloader entry
file invalid. Thankfully nothing actually parsed the names of these
files, so let's just use the index.
This is just something I noticed on inspection; we should catch any
changes to /boot in the sync(), even though theoretically gio should
have done fdatasync().
Now that we have a real GObject for the sysroot, we have a convenient
place to keep track of 4 pieces of state:
* The current deployment list
* The current bootversion
* The current subbootversion
* The current booted deployment (if any)
Avoid requiring callers to pass all of this around and load it
piecemeal; instead the new thing is ostree_sysroot_load().
I ran into Jeremy Katz today, and he gave me permission to relicense
the small bits of switch-root.c to LGPLv2+. This combined with
permission from Peter Jones allows OSTree to become fully LGPLv2+.
Not a big deal, it's just a lot clearer to only have one license, and
it makes it easier to turn application code into library code.
read_commit resolves the ref to a commit, and a lot of consumers want
the resolved commit for their own purposes; this prevents them from
calling resolve_rev themselves.

We want an OstreeRepoFile to be the way to reference a "filesystem
tree" that's stored in the repo, which is a combination of a DIR_TREE
and a DIR_META. The idea is that once you write an mtree to the repo
using ostree_repo_write_mtree, it becomes serialized and you get an
OstreeRepoFile in return.
Change any APIs that care about DIR_TREE / DIR_META checksums to care
about OstreeRepoFiles instead, which right now is mostly is
ostree_repo_write_commit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707727
We want an OstreeRepoFile to be the way to represent a filesystem tree
inside an ostree repository. In order to do this, we need to drop the
commit from an OstreeRepoFile, and make that go to callers.
Switch all current users of ostree_repo_file_new_root to
ostree_repo_read_commit, and make the actual constructor private.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707727
Previously I thought we'd have to ditch the current commit
format to avoid a{sv} due to
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673012
But I realized that we don't really have to care about
unpacking/repacking commit objects, so let's just re-expose the
existing metadata a{sv} in commits in the API.
Also, add support for "detached" metadata that can be updated at any
time post-commit. This is specifically designed for GPG signatures.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707379
...get_thread_default returns NULL when the thread default is also the global
default, so this only shows up when running in a thread (eg g_task_run_in_thread)
This is a relic from long ago when we were trying to stage objects
before finally committing them all in one go in the pull code.
We're no longer doing that, so stop trying to make the directory.
This also fixes trying to use ostree as non-root to read the
root-owned repo, since we'd fail to create the pending dir.
For the cases where we can't hardlink, use at-relative walking of the
path where possible. We still don't have lsetxattrat, so we also need
to deal with pathnames, but that is now only for symlinks.
Again, the advantages of this are a lot less malloc() of pathnames in
ostree, and much less time spent traversing paths inside the kernel.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707733
Nothing external uses it. We keep ostree_get_xattrs_for_file() public
because it's convenient for external consumers to get xattrs in
exactly the format we desire.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707733
Do as many operations as we can using the original file descriptor
while we have it open, rather than writing, closing, then reopening.
This necessitated very explicitly special casing symbolic links,
mainly due to the lack of lsetxattrat().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707733
Clean up how we deal with the uncompressed object cache; we now use
openat()/linkat() and such just like we do for the main objects/.
Use linkat() between the objects and the destination, if possible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707733
Instead, use OstreeRepoFile as a handle for the parent commit.
We need to add an accessor for the metadata checksum, as that
hasn't been exposed before.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707727
We can't quite do it for bare repositories yet because we need to have
a way to go from struct stat -> GFileInfo, and that's buried in gio's
private GLocalFile class.
Just use openat() for locating variants, rather than doing the lstat()
+ open(). This also drops several malloc+object allocations from the
lookup path.
Add new internal API to both fstatat() and write a pathname for the
given object. Use it in commit, and also wrapped in the old
GFile-based API.
This is more efficient.
Rather than having separate write_ref calls, make clients start a
transaction, add some refs, and then commit it. While this doesn't
make it 100% atomic, it makes it easier for us to use an atomic
model, and it means we don't do as much I/O updating the summary
file and such.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707644
An earlier version of this API acted like git in that some objects
would be staged in a temporary directory which would be then committed
in one go by moving files around. The API doesn't match most users
expectations though, as while the stage is nice as a high-level API
it isn't really suited for low-level APIs.
While the stage was removed, the APIs were never renamed. Rename
them now so that they match expectations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707644
This avoids repeatedly traversing the target pathname, and is just
more efficient.
Part of a prelude to using fd-relative API for the source object path
too.
Update libgsystem submodule for a bugfix.
This is both more efficient from a kernel perspective, and avoids us
calling gs_file_get_path_cached() on tmp_dir constantly, which
triggered another bug due to lack of locking.
It's now isolated almost entirely to ostree-core.c, except
ostree-repo.c needs to know how to create archive-z2 file headers. So
give it a private API for that.
See the new comment in the source; basically if we're fetching content
over http, then someone with the capability to MITM the network could
create a transient setuid binary on disk with arbitrary content. If
they also had a process running on the system (such as an application)
it could be escalated to root.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707139
There's not a good reason to write small things such as repo/config to
the filesystem, only to read them back in again. Change the
non-partial API to just return a stream, then read it into a memory
buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707157
I think originally we had the .part/.done separation because we were
trying to support partial downloads of files like repo/config and
repo/refs.
But now that the http server configuration won't give us partial
results, we don't need to support caching those files between runs.
And thus, there's no reason to have the .part/.done and do the dance
with renaming them.
When fetching objects/ and other things that use _with_async, we
continue to use _append_to(), and if the returned range tells us we
have all the bytes, then we hand the full file over to the caller.
Don't attempt to shortcut in the case where the last run told us we
already have the object; the object fetcher code will not make a
request.
While we're here, also clean up use of GError and consistently use the
cancellable from the pending.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707157
Extracting the code for parse_ostree_cmdline() and running it on some
test input (on RHEL6.4 glibc), I can reproduce the odd behavior from
getline() where it apparently returns the size of the default malloc
buffer in the size output, and some non-zero value.
This behavior would be OK except that it breaks the logic for
stripping off the trailing newline, which in turn breaks booting
because we return "ostree=foo\n".
This has worked so far in gnome-ostree because syslinux apparently
injects initrd=/path/to/initrd as a final kernel argment.
Anyways, we don't handle NUL characters here in /proc/cmdline, so
let's just call strlen () to be safe.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707192
Behave similar to git when 'ostree commit' is run without
a --subject or --body. Bring up an editor. The first line becomes
the subject and following lines become the --body after an optional
blank line.
Use similar logic to git in determining EDITOR
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707063
Fold in fetch_uri to fetch_uri_utf8(), and rename the latter to
include _sync as a suffix, since it's synchronous.
Improve the status line to show when we're fetching a synchronous URI;
previously we just showed "Scanning metadata".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707023
Use a consistent temporary filename to download uri's.
Check for downloaded files before fetching from uri.
Download to hash.part file, then copy/move to hash.done when complete.
Add argument support to setup_fake_remote_repo1 function.
Add test for pull resume.
To implement this, pass --force-range-requests into the trivial-httpd,
which will only serve half of the objects to clients at a time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706344
Pull the cleanup code to a helper function, and ensure we delete
leftover temporary files also when aborting a transaction. Mainly
this will happen if a local 'ostree commit' fails.
While we're here, also change it to use gs_shutil_rm_rf() which also
handles directories, should we start using those.
