With 77b9b1d
(add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entries,
2015-08-10) the last caller of function "hold_lock_file_for_append"
has been removed, so we can remove the function as well.

/*
|
|
* File write-locks as used by Git.
|
|
*
|
|
* The lockfile API serves two purposes:
|
|
*
|
|
* * Mutual exclusion and atomic file updates. 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` either as a static variable or on
|
|
* the heap, initialized to zeros. Once you use the structure to
|
|
* call the `hold_lock_file_for_*()` family of functions, it belongs
|
|
* to the lockfile subsystem and its storage must remain valid
|
|
* throughout the life of the program (i.e. you cannot use an
|
|
* on-stack variable to hold this structure).
|
|
*
|
|
* * 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.
|
|
*
|
|
* 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()`, and later call
|
|
* `commit_lock_file()`, `commit_lock_file_to()`,
|
|
* `rollback_lock_file()`, or `reopen_lock_file()`.
|
|
*
|
|
* Even after the lockfile is committed or rolled back, the
|
|
* `lock_file` object must not be freed or altered by the caller.
|
|
* However, it may be reused; just pass it to another call of
|
|
* `hold_lock_file_for_update()`.
|
|
*
|
|
* 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()`. 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.
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* 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, do their best to roll back the lockfile, and return
|
|
* -1.
