Fixes reversion in recent conversions, the old code relied on the GC
apparently, but the new code explicitly waits on the process, so must
close stdin handle first or the command will never exit.
It was not the wrong handle. The handle was not being closed, so bup
kept running.
Before 2670890b17, the code was:
withHandle StdinHandle createProcessSuccess cmd feeder
The stdin handle was not closed by the feeder.
Testing this:
withHandle StdinHandle createProcessSuccess (proc "cat" []) (\h -> hPutStrLn h "hi")
There's a rather long pause, a couple seconds, before it completes, but
it does complete. With hClose h, it immediately completes. This must be
the GC noticing that h is out of scope and closing it.
It seems likely that the old code worked only by that accident.
So, other similar changes made in that and nearby commits may also
have this problem, and need to explicitly close handles that were
somehow implicitly closed before.
Audited for openFile and openFd, and this fixes all the ones I found
where an async exception could prevent the file getting closed.
Except for the lock pool, which is a whole other can of worms.
Except for the assistant, which I think may use them between threads?
Most of the uses of SomeException were already catching only async exceptions.
But I did find a few places that were accidentially catching them.
Masking ensures that EndStderrHandler gets written, so the helper
threads shut down.
However, nothing currently guarantees that calls to closeP2PSshConnection
are async exception safe, so made a note about it.
At this point, I've audited all calls to async, and made them all async
exception safe, except for ones in the assistant, and a few in leaf
commands (remotedaemon, enable-tor, multicast, p2p) which don't need to
be.
Remove old code that can be trivially implemented using async in a much
nicer way (that is async exception safe).
I've audited all forkOS calls (except for ones in the assistant),
and this was the last remaining one that is not async exception safe.
The rest look ok to me.
This handles all createProcessSuccess callers, and aside from process
pools, the complete conversion of all process running to async exception
safety should be complete now.
Also, was able to remove from Utility.Process the old API that I now
know was not a good idea. And proof it was bad: The code size went *down*,
despite there being a fair bit of boilerplate for some future API to
reduce.
This handles all sites where checkSuccessProcess/ignoreFailureProcess
is used, except for one: Git.Command.pipeReadLazy
That one will be significantly more work to convert to bracketing.
(Also skipped Command.Assistant.autoStart, but it does not need to
shut down the processes it started on exception because they are
git-annex assistant daemons..)
forceSuccessProcess is done, except for createProcessSuccess.
All call sites of createProcessSuccess will need to be converted
to bracketing.
(process pools still todo also)
Not yet 100% done, so far I've grepped for waitForProcess and converted
everything that uses that to start the process with withCreateProcess.
Except for some things like P2P.IO and Assistant.TransferrerPool,
and Utility.CoProcess, that manage a pool of processes. See #2
in https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/more_extensive_retries_to_mask_transient_failures/#comment-209f8a8c38e63fb3a704e1282cb269c7
for how those will need to be dealt with.
checkSuccessProcess, ignoreFailureProcess, and forceSuccessProcess calls waitForProcess, so
callers of them will also need to be dealt with, and have not been yet.
Makes it stop the command if the consumer gets killed.
Also, it seems that the old version expected bracketOnError to return
the False from the error handler, but it does not, it would have thrown
the exception and ignored the False. That's fixed, it will now return
False when there is an exception.
This was a pre-withCreateProcess attempt at doing the same thing, so can
just call boolSystem now that it uses withCreateProcess.
There's a slight behavior change, since it used to wait, after an async
exception, for the command to finish, before re-throwing the exception.
Now, it rethrows the exception right away. I don't think that impact any
of the users of this.
