* [PATCH 05/16] odb/source-packed: wire up `close()` callback
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 11:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-odb-source-packed-v1-0-2e7ab31b4b5c@pks.im>

Wire up a new `close()` callback for the packed source and call it from
the "files" source via the generic `odb_source_close()` interface.

* [PATCH 04/16] odb/source-packed: start converting to a proper `struct odb_source`
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 11:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-odb-source-packed-v1-0-2e7ab31b4b5c@pks.im>

Start converting `struct odb_source_packed` into a proper pluggable
`struct odb_source` by embedding the base struct and assigning it the
new `ODB_SOURCE_PACKED` type. Furthermore, wire up lifecycle management
of this source by implementing the `free` callback and taking ownership
of the chdir notifications.

Note that the packed source is not yet functional as a standalone `struct
odb_source`, as it's missing all of the callback implementations. These
will be wired up in subsequent commits.

* [PATCH 03/16] odb/source-packed: store pointer to "files" instead of generic source
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 11:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-odb-source-packed-v1-0-2e7ab31b4b5c@pks.im>

The `struct odb_source_packed` holds a pointer to its owning parent
source. The way that Git is currently structured, this parent is always
the "files" source. In subsequent commits we're going to detangle that
so that the "packed" source doesn't have any owning parent source at
all, which makes it usable as a completely standalone source.

Detangling this mess is somewhat intricate though, and is made even more
intricate because it's not always clear which kind of source one is
holding at a specific point in time -- either the parent "files" source,
or the child "packed" source.

Make this relationship more explicit by storing a pointer to the "files"
source instead of storing a pointer to a generic `struct odb_source`.
This will help make subsequent steps a bit clearer.

Note that this is a temporary step, only. At the end of this series
we will have dropped the parent pointer completely.

* [PATCH 02/16] packfile: move packed source into "odb/" subsystem
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 11:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-odb-source-packed-v1-0-2e7ab31b4b5c@pks.im>

In subsequent patches we'll be turning `struct odb_source_packed` into a
proper `struct odb_source`. As a first step towards this goal, move its
struct out of "packfile.{c,h}" and into "odb/source-packed.{c,h}".

This detaches the implementation of the packfile object source from the
generic packfile code, following the same convention already used by the
"files" and "in-memory" sources.

* [PATCH 01/16] packfile: rename `struct packfile_store` to `odb_source_packed`
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 11:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-odb-source-packed-v1-0-2e7ab31b4b5c@pks.im>

Not too long ago, we have introduced the packfile store in b7983adb51
(packfile: introduce a new `struct packfile_store`, 2025-09-23). This
struct is responsible for managing all of our access to packfiles and is
used as one of the two sources of objects for the "files" source.

Back when I introduced this structure I didn't have the clear vision yet
that it will eventually also turn into a proper object database source,
and how exactly that infrastructure will look like. Now though it's
becoming increasingly clear that it does make sense to treat it just the
same as any of our other ODB sources.

The consequence is that the naming is now a bit out-of-date: it's just
another source and will be turned into a proper `struct odb_source` over
the next couple of commits, but it's not named accordingly.

Rename the structure to `odb_source_packed` to align it with this goal
and to bring it in line with the other sources we already have.

* [PATCH 00/16] odb: make packed object source a proper `struct odb_source`
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 11:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

Hi,

this patch series converts the "packed" source into a proper `struct
odb_source`. It's thus the equivalent to [1], which did the same thing
for the "loose" source.

This series here is unfortunately a bit bigger, mostly because I'm also
renaming `struct packfile_store` to `struct odb_source_packed`. Back
when I introduced the packfile store I didn't yet have the full vision
of how the final layout will look like, so I didn't have the foresight
yet to call it `struct odb_source_packed`. But now that the layout has
materialized I think it's sensible to adjust its naming to match all the
other sources that we have.

Also: I don't have anything else in the pipeline anymore that moves
around large pieces of our code in the vicinity of the object database.
So after this series got merged, subsequent changes should be of a more
incremental nature.

This series is built on top of 9ac3f193c0 (The 11th batch, 2026-06-02)
with ps/odb-source-loose at ef4778bcba (odb/source-loose: drop pointer
to the "files" source, 2026-06-01) merged into it.

Note that there's a trivial conflict with 8570d9ba31 (Merge branch
'wy/docs-typofixes' into seen, 2026-06-04) that can be solved like this:

* Is it intended behaviour that 'git gc' ignores the 'commitGraph.changedPaths' setting?
From: Tomasz Konojacki @ 2026-06-04 11:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

Hi,

It seems that 'git gc' (and also 'fetch' with 'fetch.writeCommitGraph'
enabled) ignore the 'commitGraph.changedPaths' setting.

See the output below, the commands are being executed on a repo that
doesn't have a commit-graph generated:

$ git --version
git version 2.54.0

$ git config --global --get-all commitGraph.changedPaths
true

$ git gc

$ git commit-graph write
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 132865, done.
Computing commit changed paths Bloom filters: 100% (132865/132865), done.

As you can see, 'gc' didn't create changed paths bloom filters, only a
direct call to 'commit-graph write' did.

Is this intended behaviour? It's very surprising to me.

Also, is there a way to make 'gc' and 'fetch' generate changed path
bloom filters?

Thanks,
Tomasz

* [PATCH 7/7] odb: use size_t for object_info.sizep and the size APIs
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When `js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows` widened the streaming,
index-pack and unpack-objects code paths, in the interest of keeping the
patches somewhat reasonably-sized, it left the public ODB API still
typed in `unsigned long`. In particular `struct object_info::sizep` and
the four wrappers built on top of it (`odb_read_object`,
`odb_read_object_peeled`, `odb_read_object_info`, `odb_pretend_object`)
still return the unpacked size through `unsigned long *`, so on Windows
`cat-file -s` and the `git add` / `git status` paths for a >4 GiB blob
silently cap at 4 GiB.

Widen the field and the four wrappers. The previous commits already
widened the `unpack_entry()` cascade and pack-objects' in-core size
accessors, so most of the cascade arrives here with no further work: the
temporary shims in `packed_object_info_with_index_pos()` and in
`unpack_entry()`'s delta-base recovery path go away, the two
`SET_SIZE(entry, cast_size_t_to_ulong(canonical_size))` calls in
`check_object()` and the matching one in `drop_reused_delta()` collapse
to plain `SET_SIZE`, and `oe_get_size_slow()`'s tail
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()` is gone too.

What remains narrow are the boundaries this series does not
intend to touch: the diff, blame, textconv and fast-import machinery.

Even so, this patch is unfortunately quite large.

* [PATCH 6/7] packfile,delta: drop the `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` wrappers
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When I started the transition from `unsigned long` to `size_t`, in the
interest of keeping the patches reviewable, I introduced these calls to
prevent data type narrowing from silently failing to handle large object
sizes. I also introduced `*_sz()` variants that would allow most of the
callers to keep using that `unsigned long` that the 90s kindly asked to
be returned.

After the preceding commits, the only places that called the narrow
wrappers either no longer exist or already use the `_sz` form
internally, so the wrappers just narrow values back through
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()` for no reason.

Drop them and rename the `_sz` variants back to the natural names.

* [PATCH 5/7] pack-objects: use size_t for in-core object sizes
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

`pack-objects` stores per-entry object sizes in either the 31-bit
`size_` member of the `struct object_entry` or, when the value does not
fit, the `pack->delta_size[]` spill array.  The accessors (`oe_size`,
`oe_delta_size`, `oe_get_size_slow`, `oe_size_*_than`) and the setters
(`oe_set_size`, `oe_set_delta_size`) used `unsigned long` for the spill
type, which on Windows means the spill silently caps at 4 GiB per entry.
That is what made `upload-pack` die with "object too large to read on
this platform" when serving the >4 GiB blob in `t5608` tests 5 and 6
when run with `GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB`.

Widen them all to `size_t` (including `pack->delta_size`) and drop the
three `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` calls in `check_object()` that guarded
`in_pack_size`.  The two `SET_SIZE(entry, canonical_size)` calls in the
same function stay cast-free as before, since `canonical_size` is still
`unsigned long` until a later commit widens `object_info::sizep`.

* [PATCH 4/7] packfile: widen unpack_entry()'s size out-parameter to size_t
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The topic `js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows` widened the streaming,
index-pack and unpack-objects paths to `size_t` but deliberately stopped
at the in-memory `unpack_entry()` cascade, which still hands back the
unpacked size through `unsigned long *`.  On Windows that boundary
truncates above 4 GiB because that data type is only 32 bits wide on
that platform.

Widen the code path. Except `packed_object_info_with_index_pos()`: It
cannot yet pass `oi->sizep` directly because the field is still
`unsigned long *`; bridge it with a `size_t` temporary that narrows
back, and let a later commit drop the bridge once the field is wide
too. `gfi_unpack_entry()` keeps its narrow signature because fast-import
tracks sizes through `unsigned long` everywhere it crosses subsystem
boundaries, keeping its signature allows the scope of this commit to be
somewhat reasonable, still.

* [PATCH 3/7] pack-objects(check_pack_inflate()): use size_t instead of unsigned long
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

`write_reuse_object()` learned to track its packed-object size as
`size_t` in 606c192380 (odb, packfile: use size_t for streaming
object sizes, 2026-05-08), but the comparison sink it feeds,
`check_pack_inflate()`, still takes the expected decompressed size
as `unsigned long`. The call site bridges the mismatch with
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()`, which on Windows turns a >4 GiB object
into an immediate die().

That function only uses `expect` once: as the right-hand side of a
`stream.total_out == expect` equality test against zlib's counter.
zlib's own `total_out` counter is `uLong` and is therefore still
32-bit-bound on Windows. Widening `expect` to `size_t` cannot fix that,
but it is a strict improvement nonetheless: instead of dying outright,
an oversized object now simply makes the equality fail and lets
`write_reuse_object()` fall back to `write_no_reuse_object()`, which
decompresses and re-deflates the content (and which the larger
pack-objects widening series targets separately).

Drop the `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shim at the call site now that
the receiving parameter speaks the same type as `entry_size`.

* [PATCH 2/7] patch-delta: use size_t for sizes
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

`patch_delta()` takes the source and delta sizes by value and writes
back the reconstructed target size through an `unsigned long *`.  That
datatype cannot represent a value that exceeds 4 GiB on systems where
`unsigned long` is 32-bit (notably 64-bit Windows builds), though, even
though the delta encoding itself, the on-disk layout, and the in-memory
buffers happily carry such sizes. A `size_t` companion to
`get_delta_hdr_size()`, `get_delta_hdr_size_sz()`, was introduced in
17fa077596 (delta, packfile: use size_t for delta header sizes,
2026-05-08) precisely so that `patch_delta()` could be widened without
changing the on-the-wire decoding helper's signature.

Widen `patch_delta()`'s three size parameters to `size_t` and switch
its internal use of `get_delta_hdr_size()` to the `_sz` variant.
Then propagate the wider type through the callers.

* [PATCH 1/7] compat/msvc: use _chsize_s for ftruncate
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin, Johannes Schindelin
In-Reply-To: <pull.2137.git.1780570272.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

On Windows, `unsigned long` and `long` are 32 bits even on 64-bit
builds. The MSVC compatibility header has shimmed `ftruncate()` with

	#define ftruncate _chsize

ever since `compat/msvc-posix.h` was introduced. `_chsize()` takes a
32-bit `long` for the new length, which silently truncates files (and
the requested size) to 2 GiB. That is enough to make t7508 test 126
"git add fails gracefully with 4 GiB and 8 GiB files" fail under
MSVC: `test-tool truncate` creates a sparse 4 GiB or 8 GiB file via
the shimmed `ftruncate()`, and the test never gets off the ground.

`_chsize_s()` is the modern replacement, accepts a 64-bit `__int64`
length, and is the only sensible target on Windows. The catch is that
it does not follow the POSIX `-1` + `errno` convention: it returns
`0` on success and an errno value (a small positive integer) on
failure. A plain `#define ftruncate _chsize_s` would therefore
silently break callers that test the return value as `< 0` or against
`-1`, of which there are several: `http.c`, `parallel-checkout.c`,
and `t/helper/test-truncate.c` among them.

Introduce a `static inline` wrapper that calls `_chsize_s()`, copies
its errno return into `errno`, and translates the result to the
familiar `-1` / `0` convention, then point `ftruncate` at the
wrapper. Place the wrapper after `#include "mingw-posix.h"` so the
`off_t` parameter resolves to the already-widened `off64_t` rather
than the 32-bit `_off_t` from `compat/vcbuild/include/unistd.h`.

MinGW is unaffected: its `ftruncate()` already takes `off_t` and
routes through `ftruncate64()` when `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`, which is
the default in our build.

* [PATCH 0/7] More work supporting objects larger than 4GB on Windows
From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget @ 2026-06-04 10:51 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Kristofer Karlsson, Johannes Schindelin

This patch series tries to address the problems pointed out by the expensive
tests that now run in CI: t5608 and t7508 verify various aspects about
objects larger than 4GB, which Git does not currently handle correctly when
run on a platform where size_t is 64-bit and unsigned long is 32-bit.

Unfortunately, this conflicts heavily with ps/odb-source-loose. I rebased
the branch onto seen and pushed the result to
https://github.com/dscho/git/tree/refs/heads/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows-pt2-seen,
to make it easier to resolve merge conflicts. Here is the relevant

You're right. The original code would never proceed while the value was still
negative, whereas my change would.

I'll update it to use <= 0 and send a v2.

* [PATCH v3 8/8] t: let prove fail when parsing invalid TAP output
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v3-0-7d766ed481e4@pks.im>

To make the result of our tests accessible we use the TAP protocol. This
protocol is parsed by either prove or by Meson. Unfortunately, these two
tools differ when it comes to their strictness when parsing the
protocol:

  - Prove by default happily accepts lines not specified by the
    protocol.

  - Meson will also accept such lines, but prints a big and ugly warning
    message.

We have fixed our test suite in the past to not print invalid TAP lines
anymore via b1dc2e796e (Merge branch 'ps/meson-tap-parse', 2025-06-17).
But as none of our tools perform a strict check it's still possible for
broken tests to sneak back in, like for example in 362f69547f (Merge
branch 'ps/t1006-tap-fix', 2025-07-16). This doesn't hurt at all when
using prove, but it's quite annoying when using Meson due to the
generated warnings.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a portable way to make all tools
complain about violations of the TAP format. The TAP 14 specification
has added pragmas to the protocol that would allow us to say `pragma
+strict`, and the effect of that would be to treat invalid TAP lines as
a test failure. But the release of TAP 14 is still rather recent, and
Test-Harness for example only gained support for it in version 3.48,
which was released in 2023.

In fact though, this pragma was already introduced as an inofficial
extension of the TAP protocol with Test-Harness 3.10, released in 2008.
So while not all tools understand the pragma, at least prove does for a
long time.

Unconditionally enable the pragma when using prove so that we'll detect
tests that emit broken TAP output right away. This would have detected
the issues fixed in preceding commits:

    $ prove t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh
    t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh .. All 69 subtests passed
            (less 6 skipped subtests: 63 okay)

    Test Summary Report
    -------------------
    t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh (Wstat: 0 Tests: 69 Failed: 0)
      Parse errors: Unknown TAP token: "Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git/test_fsmonitor_smoke/.git/"

* [PATCH v3 7/8] t/lib-git-p4: silence output when killing p4d and its watchdog
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v3-0-7d766ed481e4@pks.im>

When stopping the p4d watchdog process via "kill -9", the shell may
print a job-control notification like:

  ./test-lib.sh: line 1269: 57960 Killed: 9               while true; do
      if test $nr_tries_left -eq 0; then
          kill -9 $p4d_pid; exit 1;
      fi; sleep 1; nr_tries_left=$(($nr_tries_left - 1));
  done 2> /dev/null 4>&2  (wd: ~)

This message is printed asynchronously by the shell when it reaps the
process. While harmless right now, this will cause breakage once we
enable strict parsing of the TAP protocol in a subsequent commit.

Fix this by using `wait` so that we can synchronously reap the watchdog
process and swallow the diagnostic.

While at it, deduplicate the logic we have in `stop_p4d_and_watchdog ()`
and `stop_and_cleanup_p4d ()`.

* [PATCH v3 6/8] t/test-lib: silence EBUSY errors on Windows during test cleanup
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v3-0-7d766ed481e4@pks.im>

When tests have finished we clean up the trash directory via `rm -rf`.
On Windows this can fail with EBUSY in cases where a process still holds
some of the files open, for example when we have spawned a daemonized
process that wasn't properly terminated. We thus retry several times,
but every failure will result in error messages being printed, and that
in turn breaks the TAP output format.

One such case where this is causing issues is in t921x, which contains
tests related to Scalar. Some tests spawn the fsmonitor daemon, and we
never properly terminate it.

The obvious fix would be to ensure that we never leak any processes, but
that gets ugly fast. Instead, let's work around the issue by silencing
error messages printed by the `rm -rf` calls. We already know to print
an error when the retry loop fails, so we don't loose much.

* [PATCH v3 5/8] t7810: turn MB_REGEX check into a lazy prereq
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v3-0-7d766ed481e4@pks.im>

In t7810 we verify whether the system has proper multibyte locale
support by executing `test-tool regex` with a unicode character. When
this check fails though we'll output an error that breaks the TAP
format.

Fix this issue by turning the logic into a lazy prerequisite.

* [PATCH v3 4/8] t7527: fix broken TAP output
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v3-0-7d766ed481e4@pks.im>

Before running the tests in t7527 we first verify whether the fsmonitor
even works, which seems to depend on the actual filesystem that is in
use. The verification executes outside of any prerequisite or test body,
so its stdout/stderr is not being redirected.

The consequence of this is that any command that prints to stdout/stderr
may break the TAP specification by printing invalid lines. And in fact
we already do that, as git-init(1) prints the path to the created Git
repository by default.

Fix this issue by moving the logic into a lazy prerequisite.

* [PATCH v3 3/8] ci: unify Linux images across GitLab and GitHub
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260604-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v3-0-7d766ed481e4@pks.im>

The image for the "linux-breaking-changes" job has drifted apart across
GitHub and GitLab. Adapt it to use "ubuntu:rolling" on both systems.

With this change there's only one difference remaining: GitHub uses
"ubuntu:focal" for the "linux32" job while GitLab uses "ubuntu:20.04".
These are different names for the same image, so there is no actual
difference here. Adjust GitHub to use the "20.04" tag -- this matches
all the other jobs which use version numbers, and you don't have to
learn Ubuntu's release names by heart.

Rearrange the order of Linux jobs that we have defined in GitLab CI so
that it matches the order on GitHub's side. This makes it easier to
compare whether the list of jobs actually matches on both sides.

* [PATCH v3 0/8] t: fix broken TAP output
From: Patrick Steinhardt @ 2026-06-04 10:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Jeff King
In-Reply-To: <20260602-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v1-0-db3da2a1b137@pks.im>

Hi,

this small patch series fixes another instance of broken TAP output that
has landed via 4d11b9c218 (Merge branch 'pt/fsmonitor-linux', 2026-05-31).

As this has happened multiple times by now I decided to have a look at
whether we can fix this class of issues a bit more holistically. So this
series also contains a change that makes prove bail out when it sees
invalid TAP output, which uncovers a small set of preexisting issues in
our test suite.

Changes in v3:
  - Fix a test gap for AlmaLinux and Debian in GitLab CI, which uncovers
    an issue flagged by Peff.
  - Fix TAP breakage in t7810.
  - Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260603-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v2-0-cf3af5694e20@pks.im

Changes in v2:
  - Fix waiting for p4d, and deduplicate the logic that does this.
  - Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260602-pks-t7527-fix-tap-output-v1-0-db3da2a1b137@pks.im

Test runs can be found at [1] and [2]. Note that GitHub-side tests are
failing on Windows, but that is a preexisting failure on "master".

Thanks!

Patrick
