Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] remote-curl: fix deadlocks when remote server disconnects
Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 11:47:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1589816718.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1589393036.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

The following command hangs forever:

	$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
	Cloning into 'git'...

This occurs because the --shallow-since arg is incorrect and the server
dies early. However, remote-curl does not realise that the server
errored out and just faithfully forwards the packets to fetch-pack
before waiting on more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack
keeps reading as it still expects more input. As a result, the processes
deadlock. Original analysis by Peff:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200328154936.GA1217052@coredump.intra.peff.net/

Changes since v1:

* Remove fallthrough in switch in favour of just extracting the common
  call out of the switch in patch 3

* Add more detail in function comment and use `const char linelen[4]` in
  patch 4

* Implement most of Peff's suggestions[0] in patch 5

* Only operate on stateless_connect() in patch 5

* Add tests in patch 5

* Drop "remote-curl: ensure last packet is a flush" in favour of
  "stateless-connect: send response end packet"

[0]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200515213844.GD115445@coredump.intra.peff.net/

Denton Liu (7):
  remote-curl: fix typo
  remote-curl: remove label indentation
  transport: extract common fetch_pack() call
  pkt-line: extern packet_length()
  remote-curl: error on incomplete packet
  pkt-line: PACKET_READ_RESPONSE_END
  stateless-connect: send response end packet
