Junio C Hamano a431cd5887 Merge branch 'ps/odb-eagerly-load-alternates' into next
The object database layer has been simplified by eagerly loading
alternate object directories upon initialization, instead of
deferring it to the first object lookup.  This eliminates the need
for scattered lazy-loading calls throughout the codebase and paves
the way for integrating alternates with the pluggable backends.

Junio C Hamano fe72e268a1 Merge branch 'ps/odb-generic-corrupt-objects' into next
The object database (odb) API has been refactored to distinguish
between missing objects and corrupt ones by returning more
descriptive error statuses.  Both the packed and loose backends now
faithfully propagate error details using a generic strbuf error
mechanism, removing backend-specific leakage from central lookup
paths.

Patrick Steinhardt 2135b14863 odb: handle `OBJECT_INFO_DIE_IF_CORRUPT` generically
When a lookup with `OBJECT_INFO_DIE_IF_CORRUPT` fails we want to die in
case the object exists, but cannot be read. This flag is handled in two
different spots right now:

  - `do_oid_object_info_extended()` calls `has_packed_and_bad()` to
    check whether the object is known to be corrupt in any packfile.
    This function reaches into the internals of the packed source and
    thus breaks the abstraction provided by our object sources.

  - The loose source handles the flag itself and dies directly in
    `read_object_info_from_path()`, which means that we die even in
    cases where another source may still have a good copy of the
    object.

Besides being inconsistent, it also ties us to the specific backend used
by the database sources because `has_packed_and_bad()` assumes that they
use the "files" backend. Any other backend will instead cause us to die
when calling `odb_source_files_downcast()`, even if the object was
simply nonexistent.

In the preceding commits we've carved out the infrastructure to make
this mechanism fully generic. On the one hand, all backends now tell us
whether the object is missing or corrupt via their return values. And
on the other hand, they have been taught to provide a readable error
message to the caller.

Adapt `do_oid_object_info_extended()` to use those new mechanisms. This
means that we won't die immediately anymore when a loose object is
corrupt, and we properly handle backends other than the "files" backend.

Patrick Steinhardt 47ef2193b3 odb/source-packed: flag known-bad objects as corrupt and not missing
When reading packed objects we know to tell apart missing objects and
corrupt objects by returning a positive error code in the former case,
and a negative one in the latter case. We do that by distinguishing
between errors returned by `find_pack_entry()`, which yields the offset
of the object, and `packed_object_info()`, which reads the object
contents.

But even though we already distinguish those cases when reading packed
objects, the logic is broken in case a caller tries to read an object
that has been marked as corrupt. In that case, `find_pack_entry()` will
tell us that the object in question does not exist, and consequently
we'll not flag the object as corrupt but as missing.

Fix this issue by bubbling up whether the object is corrupt and, if so,
which packfile contains the corrupted object.

Note that we don't yet need the information about the specific packfile,
so we could've just as well made this a `bool *corrupted` pointer. But
we'll need information about the containing packfile in a subsequent
commit so that we can generate a proper error message telling the user
which packfile contains the broken object.

Patrick Steinhardt f978f560dd odb: eagerly initialize alternates
When creating the object database we initialize the main object database
source, but we don't yet initialize its alternates. Instead, we have
many calls to `odb_prepare_alternates()` cluttered around the code base
whenever we are about to iterate through the sources.

This lazy loading doesn't really add much value: the moment where we
read any object we _have_ to load the alternates anyway. So given that
most of our commands would access the object database this optimization
is not really buying us much in the first place. Quite on the contrary,
it makes the code harder to understand and is a potential source of bugs
in case any callsite forgot to prepare alternates before we iterate
through the sources.

Historically though there was a reason why we deferred lazy-loading: it
may happen that the repository has "core.ignoreCase" configured, and we
use that to deduplicate the list of alternates in case we had the same
alternate configured multiple times, but with different casing. We used
to initialize the object database before we had fully configured the
owning repository though, and consequently we couldn't access that
configuration yet. This has changed in the preceding commit though where
we started to parse "core.ignoreCase" manually.

Eagerly prepare alternates both when creating the object database and
when flushing its caches. Drop the now-unneeded calls to prepare the
alternates that are scattered across the code base.

Johannes Schindelin 4211a2b892 packfile, git-zlib: widen `use_pack()` and zstream avail fields to `size_t`
Bundling the two widenings: four call sites pass `&stream.avail_in`
directly to `use_pack()`, and widening either type fencepost alone would
force a bridge variable at each. Doing both together is the simpler end
state and is the prerequisite for the `do_compress()` widening in the
next commit, which is what lets `write_no_reuse_object()` lose its last
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shim.

The unsigned-long locals widened at the other `use_pack()` callers
(avail / remaining / left) hold pack-window sizes bounded by
`core.packedGitWindowSize`, so the change is type consistency rather
than a new >4GB capability. `git_zstream.avail_in`/`avail_out` likewise
reach zlib's `uInt` fields only after `zlib_buf_cap()`'s 1 GiB cap, so
the wrapper already accepted `size_t`-shaped inputs in practice.

Patrick Steinhardt 0de2467e6c odb/source-packed: start converting to a proper `struct odb_source`
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.

Further note that we're also registering a `chdir_notify` callback to
reparent our path. This wasn't previously necessary (and still isn't at
this point in time) because all paths are taken from the owning "files"
source, and that source already handles the reparenting for us. But a
subsequent commit will change that so that we're using the path of the
"packed" source, and once that happens we'll need it to be updated when
changing the working directory.

Patrick Steinhardt e2fb4ba003 packfile: rename `struct packfile_store` to `odb_source_packed`
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.

Johannes Schindelin 7a3a78cc76 packfile,delta: drop the `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` wrappers
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.

Johannes Schindelin 2d83cc3f84 packfile: widen unpack_entry()'s size out-parameter to size_t
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.

Johannes Schindelin 606c192380 odb, packfile: use size_t for streaming object sizes
The odb_read_stream structure uses unsigned long for the size field,
which is 32-bit on Windows even in 64-bit builds. When streaming
objects larger than 4GB, the size would be truncated to zero or an
incorrect value, resulting in empty files being written to disk.

Change the size field in odb_read_stream to size_t and introduce
unpack_object_header_sz() to return sizes via size_t pointer. Since
object_info.sizep remains unsigned long for API compatibility, use
temporary variables where the types differ, with comments noting the
truncation limitation for code paths that still use unsigned long.

Widening the producers to size_t in this way introduces a handful of
silent size_t -> unsigned long narrowings on Windows, all in
builtin/pack-objects.c, where the consumers are still typed
unsigned long. Make those narrowings explicit with
cast_size_t_to_ulong() so they assert loudly the moment an object
actually exceeds ULONG_MAX bytes:

  - oe_get_size_slow() returns unsigned long but holds a size_t
    locally; cast at the return.
  - write_reuse_object() passes a size_t into check_pack_inflate(),
    whose expect parameter is unsigned long; cast at the call.
  - check_object() routes a size_t through SET_SIZE() and
    SET_DELTA_SIZE(), both of which take unsigned long via
    oe_set_size() / oe_set_delta_size(); cast at the three call
    sites in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA / OBJ_REF_DELTA branches and in the
    non-delta default arm.

The cast-only treatment is deliberately a stop-gap. Properly
widening oe_set_size, oe_get_size_slow's return type,
check_pack_inflate's expect parameter, object_info.sizep,
patch_delta, and the OE_SIZE_BITS bit-fields cascades into a series
that is too large to be reviewable, so the proper widening is
deferred to a follow-up topic. Until then,
cast_size_t_to_ulong() at least makes the truncation explicit at
the source: it documents the boundary, and on a 64-bit non-Windows
platform it is a no-op.

Patrick Steinhardt 75c702624d treewide: use enum for `odb_for_each_object()` flags
We've got a couple of callsites where we pass `odb_for_each_object()`
flags, but accept an `unsigned` flags field instead of the corresponding
enum. Adapt these to accept the enum type instead.

Taylor Blau 3f7c0e722e pack-objects: support excluded-open packs with --stdin-packs
In cd846bacc7 (pack-objects: introduce '--stdin-packs=follow',
2025-06-23), pack-objects learned to traverse through commits in
included packs when using '--stdin-packs=follow', rescuing reachable
objects from unlisted packs into the output.

When we encounter a commit in an excluded pack during this rescuing
phase we will traverse through its parents. But because we set
`revs.no_kept_objects = 1`, commit simplification will prevent us from
showing it via `get_revision()`. (In practice, `--stdin-packs=follow`
walks commits down to the roots, but only opens up trees for ones that
do not appear in an excluded pack.)

But there are certain cases where we *do* need to see the parents of an
object in an excluded pack. Namely, if an object is rescue-able, but
only reachable from object(s) which appear in excluded packs, then
commit simplification will exclude those commits from the object
traversal, and we will never see a copy of that object, and thus not
rescue it.

This is what causes the failure in the previous commit during repacking.
When performing a geometric repack, packs above the geometric split that
weren't part of the previous MIDX (e.g., packs pushed directly into
`$GIT_DIR/objects/pack`) may not have full object closure.  When those
packs are listed as excluded via the '^' marker, the reachability
traversal encounters the sequence described above, and may miss objects
which we expect to rescue with `--stdin-packs=follow`.

Introduce a new "excluded-open" pack prefix, '!'. Like '^'-prefixed
packs, objects from '!'-prefixed packs are excluded from the resulting
pack. But unlike '^', commits in '!'-prefixed packs *are* used as
starting points for the follow traversal, and the traversal does not
treat them as a closure boundary.

In order to distinguish excluded-closed from excluded-open packs during
the traversal, introduce a new `pack_keep_in_core_open` bit on
`struct packed_git`, along with a corresponding `KEPT_PACK_IN_CORE_OPEN`
flag for the kept-pack cache.

In `add_object_entry_from_pack()`, move the `want_object_in_pack()`
check to *after* `add_pending_oid()`. This is necessary so that commits
from excluded-open packs are added as traversal tips even though their
objects won't appear in the output. As a consequence, the caller
`for_each_object_in_pack()` will always provide a non-NULL 'p', hence we
are able to drop the "if (p)" conditional.

The `include_check` and `include_check_obj` callbacks on `rev_info` are
used to halt the walk at closed-excluded packs, since objects behind a
'^' boundary are guaranteed to have closure and need not be rescued.

The following commit will make use of this new functionality within the
repack layer to resolve the test failure demonstrated in the previous
commit.

Same as the preceding commit, move the logic that computes the minimum

Patrick Steinhardt cfd575f0a9 odb: introduce `struct odb_for_each_object_options`
The `odb_for_each_object()` function only accepts a bitset of flags. In
a subsequent commit we'll want to change object iteration to also
support iterating over only those objects that have a specific prefix.
While we could of course add the prefix to the function signature, or
alternatively introduce a new function, both of these options don't
really seem to be that sensible.

Instead, introduce a new `struct odb_for_each_object_options` that can
be passed to a new `odb_for_each_object_ext()` function. Splice through
the options structure into the respective object database sources.

Patrick Steinhardt 6801ffd37d odb: introduce generic object counting
Similar to the preceding commit, introduce counting of objects on the
object database level, replacing the logic that we have in
`repo_approximate_object_count()`.

Note that the function knows to cache the object count. It's unclear
whether this cache is really required as we shouldn't have that many
cases where we count objects repeatedly. But to be on the safe side the
caching mechanism is retained, with the only excepting being that we
also have to use the passed flags as caching key.

Patrick Steinhardt d9ecf268ef odb: embed base source in the "files" backend
The "files" backend is implemented as a pointer in the `struct
odb_source`. This contradicts our typical pattern for pluggable backends
like we use it for example in the ref store or for object database
streams, where we typically embed the generic base structure in the
specialized implementation. This pattern has a couple of small benefits:

  - We avoid an extra allocation.

  - We hide implementation details in the generic structure.

  - We can easily downcast from a generic backend to the specialized
    structure and vice versa because the offsets are known at compile
    time.

  - It becomes trivial to identify locations where we depend on backend
    specific logic because the cast needs to be explicit.

Refactor our "files" object database source to do the same and embed the
`struct odb_source` in the `struct odb_source_files`.

There are still a bunch of sites in our code base where we do have to
access internals of the "files" backend. The intent is that those will
go away over time, but this will certainly take a while. Meanwhile,
provide a `odb_source_files_downcast()` function that can convert a
generic source into a "files" source.

As we only have a single source the downcast succeeds unconditionally
for now. Eventually though the intent is to make the cast `BUG()` in
case the caller requests to downcast a non-"files" backend to a "files"
backend.

Patrick Steinhardt cb506a8a69 odb: introduce "files" source
Introduce a new "files" object database source. This source encapsulates
access to both loose object files and the packfile store, similar to how
the "files" backend for refs encapsulates access to loose refs and the
packed-refs file.

Note that for now the "files" source is still a direct member of a
`struct odb_source`. This architecture will be reversed in the next
commit so that the files source contains a `struct odb_source`.

Patrick Steinhardt f6516a5241 odb: convert object info flags into an enum
Convert the object info flags into an enum and adapt all functions that
receive these flags as parameters to use the enum instead of an integer.
This serves two purposes:

  - The function signatures become more self-documenting, as callers
    don't have to wonder which flags they expect.

  - The compiler can warn when a wrong flag type is passed.

Note that the second benefit is somewhat limited. For example, when
or-ing multiple enum flags together the result will be an integer, and
the compiler will not warn about such use cases. But where it does help
is when a single flag of the wrong type is passed, as the compiler would
generate a warning in that case.

Patrick Steinhardt 736464b84f packfile: introduce function to iterate through objects
Introduce a new function `packfile_store_for_each_object()`. This
function is equivalent to `odb_source_loose_for_each_object()`, except
that it:

  - Works on a single packfile store instead of working on the object
    database level. Consequently, it will only yield packed objects of a
    single object database source.

  - Passes a `struct object_info` to the callback function.

As such, it provides the same callback interface as we already provide
for loose objects now. These functions will be used in a subsequent step
to implement `odb_for_each_object()`.

The `for_each_packed_object()` function continues to exist for now, but
it will be removed at the end of this patch series.
