2015-03-03cache: use F_SETLK to avoid stale lock filesJohn Keeping
If CGit is killed while it holds a lock on a cache slot (for example because it is taking too long to generate a page), the lock file will be left in place. This prevents any future attempt to use the same slot since it will fail to exclusively create the lock file. Since CGit is the only program that should be manipulating lock files, we can use advisory locking to detect whether another process is actually using the lock file or if it is now stale. I have confirmed that this works on Linux by setting a short TTL in a custom cgitrc and running the following with CGit patched to print a message to stderr if the fcntl(2) fails: $ export CGIT_CONFIG=$PWD/cgitrc $ export QUERY_STRING=url=cgit/tree/ui-shared.c $ ./cgit | grep -v -e '^<div class=.footer.>' \ -e '^Last-Modified: ' \ -e ^'Expires: ' >expect $ seq 50000 | dd bs=8192 | parallel -j200 "diff -u expect <(./cgit | grep -v -e '^<div class=.footer.>' \ -e '^Last-Modified: ' \ -e ^'Expires: ') || echo BAD" This printed the fail message several times without ever printing "BAD".

2014-02-21Skip cache slot when time-to-live is zeroLukas Fleischer
If time-to-live is set to zero, we don't need to regenerate the cache slots on every request. Instead, just skip the caching process and immediately provide the dynamically generated version of the page. Setting time-to-live to zero is useful when you want to disable caching for certain pages. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <cgit@cryptocrack.de>
2014-01-19cache: use sendfile() instead of a pair of read() + write()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
sendfile() does the same job and avoids to copy the content into userland and back. One has to define NO_SENDFILE in case the OS (kernel / libc) does not supported. It is disabled by default on non-linux environemnts. According to the glibc, sendfile64() was added in Linux 2.4 (so it has been there for a while) but after browsing over the mapage of FreeBSD's I noticed that the prototype is little different.

2014-01-17Switch to exclusively using global ctxLukas Fleischer
Drop the context parameter from the following functions (and all static helpers used by them) and use the global context instead: * cgit_print_http_headers() * cgit_print_docstart() * cgit_print_pageheader() Remove context parameter from all commands Drop the context parameter from the following functions (and all static helpers used by them) and use the global context instead: * cgit_get_cmd() * All cgit command functions. * cgit_clone_info() * cgit_clone_objects() * cgit_clone_head() * cgit_print_plain() * cgit_show_stats() In initialization routines, use the global context variable instead of passing a pointer around locally. Remove callback data parameter for cache slots This is no longer needed since the context is always read from the global context variable. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <cgit@cryptocrack.de>
2014-01-12cache: don't leave cache_slot fields uninitializedJohn Keeping
Valgrind says: ==18344== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==18344== at 0x406C83: open_slot (cache.c:63) ==18344== by 0x407478: cache_ls (cache.c:403) ==18344== by 0x404C9A: process_request (cgit.c:639) ==18344== by 0x406BD2: fill_slot (cache.c:190) ==18344== by 0x4071A0: cache_process (cache.c:284) ==18344== by 0x404461: main (cgit.c:952) ==18344== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation ==18344== at 0x40738B: cache_ls (cache.c:375) This is caused by the keylen field being used to calculate whether or not a slot is matched. We never then check the value of this and the length of data read depends on the key length read from the file so this isn't dangerous, but it's nice to avoid branching based on uninitialized data.

2013-05-22cache.c: cache ls_cache output properlyJohn Keeping
By using the standard library's printf, cache_ls does not redirect its output to the cache when we change the process' stdout file descriptor to point to the cache file. Fix this by using "htmlf" in the same way that we do for writing HTTP headers. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>
2013-05-18cache.c: fix cache_lsJohn Keeping
Commit fb3655d (use struct strbuf instead of static buffers, 2013-04-06) broke the logic in cache.c::cache_ls by failing to set slot->cache_name before calling open_slot. While fixing this, also free the strbufs added by that commit once we're done with them. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>
2013-04-08use struct strbuf instead of static buffersJohn Keeping
Use "struct strbuf" from Git to remove the limit on file path length. Notes on scan-tree: This is slightly involved since I decided to pass the strbuf into add_repo() and modify if whenever a new file name is required, which should avoid any extra allocations within that function. The pattern there is to append the filename, use it and then reset the buffer to its original length (retaining a trailing '/'). Notes on ui-snapshot: Since write_archive modifies the argv array passed to it we copy the argv_array values into a new array of char* and then free the original argv_array structure and the new array without worrying about what the values now look like.

2008-11-06Fix some warnings to allow -WerrorRamsay Jones
The type used to declare the st_size field of a 'struct stat' can be a 32- or 64-bit sized type, which can vary from one platform to another, or even from one compilation to another. In particular, on linux, if you include the following define: #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64 prior to including certain system header files, then the type used for the st_size field will be __off64_t, otherwise it will be an __off_t. Note that the above define is included at the top of git-compat-util.h. In cache.c, the "%zd" format specifier expects a "signed size_t", another type which can vary, when an __off64_t or a __off_t is provided. To supress the warning, use the PRIuMAX format specifier and cast the st_size field to uintmax_t. This should work an any platform for which git currently compiles. In ui-plain.c, the size parameter of sha1_object_info() and read_sha1_file() is defined to be "unsigned long *" not "size_t *". So, to supress the warning, simply declare size with the correct type.

2008-05-20cache.c: fix error checking in print_slot()Lars Hjemli
The change to print_slot() in cdc6b2f8e7a8d43dcfe0475a9d3498333ea686b8 made the function return correct errno for read errors while ignoring write errors, which is not what was intended. This patch tries to rectify things. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
2008-05-18cache.c: do not ignore errors from print_slot()Lars Hjemli
If print_slot() fails, the client will be served an inferior response. This patch makes sure that such an error will be returned to main(), which in turn will try to inform about the error in the response itself. The error is also printed to the cache_log, i.e. stderr, which will make the error message appear in error_log (atleast when httpd==apache).

2008-05-18cache.c: use xread()/xwrite() from libgitLars Hjemli
These functions handles EINTR/EAGAIN errors during read/write operations, which is something cache.c didn't.

2008-04-28Add page 'ls_cache'Lars Hjemli
This new page will list all entries found in the current cache, which is useful when reviewing the new cache implementation. There are no links to the new page, but it's reachable by adding 'p=ls_cache' to any cgit url. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
2008-04-28Redesign the caching layerLars Hjemli
The original caching layer in cgit has no upper bound on the number of concurrent cache entries, so when cgit is traversed by a spider (like the googlebot), the cache might end up filling your disk. Also, if any error occurs in the cache layer, no content is returned to the client. This patch redesigns the caching layer to avoid these flaws by * giving the cache a bound number of slots * disabling the cache for the current request when errors occur The cache size limit is implemented by hashing the querystring (the cache lookup key) and generating a cache filename based on this hash modulo the cache size. In order to detect hash collisions, the full lookup key (i.e. the querystring) is stored in the cache file (separated from its associated content by ascii 0). The cache filename is the reversed 8-digit hexadecimal representation of hash(key) % cache_size which should make the filesystem lookup pretty fast (if directory content is indexed/sorted); reversing the representation avoids the problem where all keys have equal prefix. There is a new config option, cache-size, which sets the upper bound for the cache. Default value for this option is 0, which has the same effect as setting nocache=1 (hence nocache is now deprecated). Included in this patch is also a new testfile which verifies that the new option works as intended. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>

2006-12-12cache_lock: do xstrdup/free on lockfileLars Hjemli
Since fmt() uses 8 alternating static buffers, and cache_lock might call cache_create_dirs() multiple times, which in turn might call fmt() twice, after four iterations lockfile would be overwritten by a cachedirectory path. In worst case, this could cause the cachedirectory to be unlinked and replaced by a cachefile. Fix: use xstrdup() on the result from fmt() before assigning to lockfile, and call free(lockfile) before exit. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
2006-12-11Don't truncate valid cachefilesLars Hjemli
An embarrassing thinko in cgit_check_cache() would truncate valid cachefiles in the following situation: 1) process A notices a missing/expired cachefile 2) process B gets scheduled, locks, fills and unlocks the cachefile 3) process A gets scheduled, locks the cachefile, notices that the cachefile now exist/is not expired anymore, and continues to overwrite it with an empty lockfile. Thanks to Linus for noticing (again). Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
2006-12-11Avoid infinite loops in caching layerLars Hjemli
Add a global variable, cgit_max_lock_attemps, to avoid the possibility of infinite loops when failing to acquire a lockfile. This could happen on broken setups or under crazy server load.

2006-12-10Add caching infrastructureLars Hjemli
This enables internal caching of page output. Page requests are split into four groups: 1) repo listing (front page) 2) repo summary 3) repo pages w/symbolic references in query string 4) repo pages w/constant sha1's in query string Each group has a TTL specified in minutes. When a page is requested, a cached filename is stat(2)'ed and st_mtime is compared to time(2). If TTL has expired (or the file didn't exist), the cached file is regenerated. When generating a cached file, locking is used to avoid parallell processing of the request. If multiple processes tries to aquire the same lock, the ones who fail to get the lock serves the (expired) cached file. If the cached file don't exist, the process instead calls sched_yield(2) before restarting the request processing. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
