When we want to change + * a file, we create a lockfile `<filename>.lock`, write the new + * file contents into it, and then rename the lockfile to its final + * destination `<filename>`. We create the `<filename>.lock` file + * with `O_CREAT|O_EXCL` so that we can notice and fail if somebody + * else has already locked the file, then atomically rename the + * lockfile to its final destination to commit the changes and + * unlock the file. + * + * * Automatic cruft removal. If the program exits after we lock a + * file but before the changes have been committed, we want to make + * sure that we remove the lockfile. This is done by remembering the + * lockfiles we have created in a linked list and setting up an + * `atexit(3)` handler and a signal handler that clean up the + * lockfiles. This mechanism ensures that outstanding lockfiles are + * cleaned up if the program exits (including when `die()` is + * called) or if the program is terminated by a signal. + * + * Please note that lockfiles only block other writers. Readers do not + * block, but they are guaranteed to see either the old contents of + * the file or the new contents of the file (assuming that the + * filesystem implements `rename(2)` atomically). + * + * Most of the heavy lifting is done by the tempfile module (see + * "tempfile.h"). + * + * Calling sequence + * ---------------- + * + * The caller: + * + * * Allocates a `struct lock_file` with whatever storage duration you + * desire. The struct does not have to be initialized before being + * used, but it is good practice to do so using by setting it to + * all-zeros (or using the LOCK_INIT macro). This puts the object in a + * consistent state that allows you to call rollback_lock_file() even + * if the lock was never taken (in which case it is a noop). + * + * * Attempts to create a lockfile by calling `hold_lock_file_for_update()`. + * + * * Writes new content for the destination file by either: + * + * * writing to the file descriptor returned by the + * `hold_lock_file_for_*()` functions (also available via + * `lock->fd`). + * + * * calling `fdopen_lock_file()` to get a `FILE` pointer for the + * open file and writing to the file using stdio. + * + * Note that the file descriptor returned by hold_lock_file_for_update() + * is marked O_CLOEXEC, so the new contents must be written by the + * current process, not a spawned one. + * + * When finished writing, the caller can: + * + * * Close the file descriptor and rename the lockfile to its final + * destination by calling `commit_lock_file()` or + * `commit_lock_file_to()`. + * + * * Close the file descriptor and remove the lockfile by calling + * `rollback_lock_file()`. + * + * * Close the file descriptor without removing or renaming the + * lockfile by calling `close_lock_file_gently()`, and later call + * `commit_lock_file()`, `commit_lock_file_to()`, + * `rollback_lock_file()`, or `reopen_lock_file()`. + * + * After the lockfile is committed or rolled back, the `lock_file` + * object can be discarded or reused. + * + * If the program exits before `commit_lock_file()`, + * `commit_lock_file_to()`, or `rollback_lock_file()` is called, the + * tempfile module will close and remove the lockfile, thereby rolling + * back any uncommitted changes. + * + * If you need to close the file descriptor you obtained from a + * `hold_lock_file_for_*()` function yourself, do so by calling + * `close_lock_file_gently()`. See "tempfile.h" for more information. + * + * + * Under the covers, a lockfile is just a tempfile with a few helper + * functions. In particular, the state diagram and the cleanup + * machinery are all implemented in the tempfile module. + * + * Permission bits + * --------------- + * + * If you call either `hold_lock_file_for_update_mode` or + * `hold_lock_file_for_update_timeout_mode`, you can specify a suggested + * mode for the underlying temporary file. Note that the file isn't + * guaranteed to have this exact mode, since it may be limited by either + * the umask, 'core.sharedRepository', or both. See `adjust_shared_perm` + * for more. + * + * Error handling + * -------------- + * + * The `hold_lock_file_for_*()` functions return a file descriptor on + * success or -1 on failure (unless `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR` is used; see + * "flags" below). On errors, `errno` describes the reason for + * failure. Errors can be reported by passing `errno` to + * `unable_to_lock_message()` or `unable_to_lock_die()`. + * + * Similarly, `commit_lock_file`, `commit_lock_file_to`, and + * `close_lock_file` return 0 on success. On failure they set `errno` + * appropriately and return -1. The `commit` variants (but not `close`) + * do their best to delete the temporary file before returning. + */ + +#include "tempfile.h" + +struct lock_file { + struct tempfile *tempfile; +}; + +#define LOCK_INIT { NULL } + +/* String appended to a filename to derive the lockfile name: */ +#define LOCK_SUFFIX ".lock" +#define LOCK_SUFFIX_LEN 5 + + +/* + * Flags + * ----- + * + * The following flags can be passed to `hold_lock_file_for_update()`. + */ + +/* + * If a lock is already taken for the file, `die()` with an error + * message.
