Subject: [PATCH v2 09/11] grep: protect packed_git [re-]initialization
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 22:50:55 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ede35868d797ea5a3560422afe7280e977bc9f59.1569808052.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1569808052.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>

Some fields in struct raw_object_store are lazy initialized by the
thread-unsafe packfile.c:prepare_packed_git(). Although this function is
present in the call stack of git-grep threads, all paths to it are
currently protected by obj_read_lock() (and the main thread usually
indirectly calls it before firing the worker threads, anyway). However,
it's possible that future modifications add new unprotected paths to it,
introducing a race condition. Because errors derived from it wouldn't
happen often, it could be hard to detect. So to prevent future
headaches, let's force eager initialization of packed_git when setting
git-grep up. There'll be a small overhead in the cases where we didn't
really needed to prepare packed_git during execution but this shouldn't
be very noticeable.

Also, packed_git may be re-initialized by
packfile.c:reprepare_packed_git(). Again, all paths to it in git-grep
are already protected by obj_read_lock() but it may suffer from the same
problem in the future. So let's also internally protect it with
obj_read_lock() (which is a recursive mutex).
