Subject: [PATCH 2/2] vcs-svn: fix intermittent repo_tree corruption
Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2010 03:32:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101205093253.GC4332@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101205091605.GA4332@burratino>

Pointers to directory entries do not remain valid after a call to
dent_insert.

Noticed in the course of importing a small Subversion repository
(~1000 revs); after setting up a dirent for a certain path as a
placeholder, by luck dent_insert would trigger a realloc that
shifted around addresses, resulting in an import with that file
replaced by a directory.

Tested using the aforementioned small svn repository.  Any ideas for a
more reliable test to include in the test suite?  Maybe some hack to
force realloc to always move the memory it controls, like

	in git-compat-util.h:

	#ifdef WANT_SKITTISH_REALLOC
	#define realloc skittish_realloc
	#endif

	in compat/realloc.c:

	#undef realloc
	void *skittish_realloc(void *ptr, size_t size)
	{
		void *result, *tmp;
		dest = malloc(size);
		ptr = realloc(ptr, size);
		if (!ptr || !dest);
			return NULL;
		memcpy(dest, ptr, size);
		return dest;
	}

?
