* temporarily remove cached keys database connectionGravatar Joey Hess2015-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that shutdown is not always called, particularly in the test suite. So, a database connection would be opened, possibly some changes queued, and then not shut down. One way this can happen is when using Annex.eval or Annex.run with a new state. A better fix might be to make both of them call Keys.shutdown (and be sure to do it even if the annex action threw an error). Complication: Sometimes they're run reusing an existing state, so shutting down a database connection could cause problems for other users of that same state. I think this would need a MVar holding the database handle, so it could be emptied once shut down, and another user of the database connection could then start up a new one if it got shut down. But, what if 2 threads were concurrently using the same database handle and one shut it down while the other was writing to it? Urgh. Might have to go that route eventually to get the database access to run fast enough. For now, a quick fix to get the test suite happier, at the expense of speed.
* use InodeCache when dropping a key to see if a pointer file can be safely resetGravatar Joey Hess2015-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Keys database can hold multiple inode caches for a given key. One for the annex object, and one for each pointer file, which may not be hard linked to it. Inode caches for a key are recorded when its content is added to the annex, but only if it has known pointer files. This is to avoid the overhead of maintaining the database when not needed. When the smudge filter outputs a file's content, the inode cache is not updated, because git's smudge interface doesn't let us write the file. So, dropping will fall back to doing an expensive verification then. Ideally, git's interface would be improved, and then the inode cache could be updated then too.
* Improve shutdown due to --time-limit, especially for fsckGravatar Joey Hess2015-07-31
* Perform a clean shutdown when --time-limit is reached. This includes running queued git commands, and cleanup actions normally run when a command is finished. * fsck: Commit incremental fsck database when --time-limit is reached. Previously, some of the last files fscked did not make it into the database when using --time-limit. Note that this changes Annex.addCleanup hooks, to run after --time-limit expires. Fsck was using such a hook to clean up after a --incremental-schedule, and that shouldn't run when --time-limit exipires it. So, instead, moved that cleanup code to be run by cleanupIncremental. Resulted in some data type juggling.
