Subject: [PATCH 2/5] pack-objects: take lock before accessing `remaining`
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 14:53:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5815ea4f27226b604751961c8b70355a8925f0c5.1502780344.git.martin.agren@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1502780343.git.martin.agren@gmail.com>

When checking the conditional of "while (me->remaining)", we did not
hold the lock. Calling find_deltas would still be safe, since it checks
"remaining" (after taking the lock) and is able to handle all values. In
fact, this could (currently) not trigger any bug: a bug could happen if
`remaining` transitioning from zero to non-zero races with the evaluation
of the while-condition, but these are always separated by the
data_ready-mechanism.

Make sure we have the lock when we read `remaining`. This does mean we
release it just so that find_deltas can take it immediately again. We
could tweak the contract so that the lock should be taken before calling
find_deltas, but let's defer that until someone can actually show that
"unlock+lock" has a measurable negative impact.

I don't think this corrects any real error. The benefits of this patch
would be "future-proofs things slightly" and "silences tsan, so that
other errors don't drown in noise". Feel free to tell me those benefits
are negligible and that this change actually hurts.
