Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] packfile URIs: support concurrent downloads
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:33:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1784582665.git.tnyman@openai.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783982021.git.tnyman@openai.com>
Packfile URI and dumb HTTP downloads stage packs at
objects/pack/pack-<hash>.pack.temp so an interrupted transfer can
resume. Two Git processes fetching the same pack into one object
database can append to that file concurrently, which can corrupt the
temporary pack.
Following Peff's suggestion in the v1 discussion, the first patch keeps
the predictable temporary name but opens the file without append mode.
Each downloader keeps its own file offset, so overlapping responses for
the same pack write the same bytes at the same offsets. This preserves
resumable downloads and protects both packfile URI and ordinary dumb
HTTP requests. Concurrent downloaders may still transfer the same
suffix; this series avoids adding cross-process coordination and a
stale-owner policy.
A second downloader can also find that the partial pack has completed
and request a range starting at EOF. Servers may respond with HTTP 416
in that case. Treat that response as a completed download and let
index-pack validate the pack. Keep the open descriptor for indexing so
another downloader can safely remove the temporary path.
The second patch handles the related .keep race. When another process
has already created the keep file, index-pack reports
"pack<TAB><hash>" instead of "keep<TAB><hash>". Accept both successful
forms and remove only keep files created by the current process. Read
only the prefix and hash so any following fsck output remains available
to fetch-pack.
The tests cover resumption, a completed partial returning 416,
overlapping 200 and 206 responses, and a pre-existing .keep file.
Changes since v1:
* Preserve resumability by removing append mode instead of using a
unique temporary file for each download.
* Handle the EOF-range/416 and concurrent-unlink cases, including the
Windows sharing behavior.
* Add a deterministic overlapping-download regression test.
* Read the pack/keep prefix and hash without consuming later fsck
output, as suggested during review.
* Correct the stale --index-pack-args documentation and error text;
the repeatable --index-pack-arg option is already supported.

## Commit message ##
- http: use unique tempfiles for packfile URI downloads
+ http: avoid concurrent appends to partial packs
- Since 8d5d2a34df (http-fetch: support fetching packfiles by URL,
- 2020-06-10), packfile URI downloads have been staged at
- objects/pack/pack-<hash>.pack.temp.
+ Pack requests stage downloads in a predictable partial-pack file so an
+ interrupted transfer can be resumed. Both packfile URI and ordinary dumb
+ HTTP requests use this staging path. Opening it in append mode lets
+ concurrent fetches interleave their writes, corrupting the pack or
+ causing a later fetch to request a range at EOF.
- The path is derived from the advertised pack hash. Two processes
- fetching the same pack into a shared object database therefore open the
- same file for append. Their writes can corrupt the temporary pack. If
- one process arrives after the other has completed the download, it may
- instead try to resume at EOF, which some HTTP servers reject with 416.
+ Open the partial pack read-write, seek to its current end, and retain a
+ per-descriptor offset for incoming data. Reopen newly created partial
+ packs without O_CREAT so Windows permits concurrent unlink, and keep the
+ descriptor for index-pack when another downloader removes the staging
+ path. Accept HTTP 416 when a partial pack is already complete.
- Use the tempfile API to give direct packfile URI downloads unique
- temporary files. Keep the deterministic path for ordinary dumb HTTP
- pack requests, which use it to resume a partial download left by an
- earlier invocation.
-
- This means that a packfile URI download cannot be resumed by a later
- invocation. A retry starts with an empty temporary file instead.
-
- Add a test which pauses one process after downloading the pack and
- starts another process using the same object database.
+ Exercise resumed transfers, EOF ranges, and overlapping 200 and 206
+ responses. Clarify the staging-key documentation and correct the stale
+ --index-pack-args spelling in the documentation and error messages; the
+ repeatable --index-pack-arg option is already accepted.

## Commit message ##
fetch-pack: accept "pack" output for packfile URIs
- When "index-pack --keep" creates a .keep file, it reports
- "keep<TAB><hash>". If the file already exists, index-pack leaves it
- untouched and reports "pack<TAB><hash>" instead.
+ When index-pack finds an existing keep file it reports pack rather than
+ keep. Accept either result from http-fetch, and only register a keep
+ lockfile when this fetch created it.
- Since dd4b732df7 (upload-pack: send part of packfile response as uri,
- 2020-06-10), fetch-pack has accepted only the "keep" form for packs
- downloaded through packfile URIs. A concurrent fetch can install the
- same pack and create its .keep file before another process reaches
- index-pack. The latter process then fails even though index-pack
- completed successfully.
-
- Accept both successful forms. Add a path to pack_lockfiles only for the
- "keep" form, so cleanup removes only a keep file created by the current
- process and preserves a pre-existing one.
-
- Add a regression test which pre-creates a keep file and verifies that a
- fetch succeeds without changing it.
+ Read the pack/keep prefix and hash without consuming any following fsck
+ output, validate the reported pack hash against the advertised hash, and
+ exercise a packfile URI fetch with a pre-existing keep file.
