Subject: [PATCH 0/1] fsmonitor: skip sanity check if the index is split
Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2019 07:09:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.458.git.1573196960.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
The checks added in 3444ec2 to ensure that the fsmonitor_dirty bitmap does
not have more bits than the index do not play well with the split index.
git update-index --fsmonitor --split-index calls write_locked_index which
calls write_shared_index as well as write_split_index. The first call fills
up the fsmonitor_dirty bitmap, and the second modifies the index such that
istate->cache_nr is zero and this assert is hit.
The test written does reproduce the error, but only flakily. There is
limited difference with GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR=fsmonitor-all or
GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR=fsmonitor-watchman, so the flakiness might come from
somewhere else, which I haven't tracked down.
The test also requires checkout of a new branch, and checking out back to
master. It's clear that the index gets into some poor state through these
operations, and there is a deeper bug somewhere.
At the very least, this patch mitigates an over-eager check for split index
users while maintaining good invariants for the standard case. Also, I
haven't been able to reproduce this with "standard" user commands, like
status/checkout/stash, so the blast radius seems limited.
