Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Fix issues and a regression noted by valgrind
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 22:14:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover-0.4-00000000000-20220421T200733Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)

I spotted these when testing v2.36.0, but waited until after the
release since there's no v2.36.0 regressions here.

The scariest issue here by far is one I caused and am now fixing in
4/4. As noted I don't think it had any real practical fallout, but we
should obviously fix it sooner than later.

I think the 3/4 issue is likewise just a bit scary, but I haven't
analyzed it as much. In that case we'd pass uninitialized memory to a
syscall.

It's clear that the --valgrind mode for the test suite is useful, but
it's sooo sloooow (it takes around a full day to complete, and for me
the full tests otherwise run in ~2 minutes). I'll try to run it in the
background with some regularity going forward anyway.

Aside: I do see that there's occasionaly FreeBSD runs in the "main"
git/git CI. How are those hooked up? Running it in GitHub CI would
take approximately forever (I think it would run into a hard timeout),
but if we can hook up a CI runner on some dedicated hardware.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (4):
  tests: make RUNTIME_PREFIX compatible with --valgrind
  log test: skip a failing mkstemp() test under valgrind
  commit-graph.c: don't assume that stat() succeeds
  object-file: fix a unpack_loose_header() regression in 3b6a8db3b03
