We also move the assignment of -1 to the lock file descriptor up, so that rollback_lock_file() can be called safely after a possible attempt to fclose(). This matches the contents of the 'if' statement just above testing success of fdopen(). Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <redacted> ---
Shawn, could you lend an extra set of eyeballs on this one please? It looks sane to me but obviously you are more familiar with the code.

Since we forget the lock file descriptor there is a chance that we will leave the file open if a write error occurs. We'll still delete the file. I don't think it's worth bending over backwards to make sure the file is closed on this failure. -brandon fast-import.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)diff --git a/fast-import.c b/fast-import.c index 3609c24..4cf5092 100644 --- a/fast-import.c +++ b/fast-import.c@@ -1545,19 +1545,27 @@ static void dump_marks(void) return; } - dump_marks_helper(f, 0, marks); - if (ferror(f) || fclose(f)) - failure |= error("Unable to write marks file %s: %s", - mark_file, strerror(errno)); /* - * Since the lock file was fdopen()'ed and then fclose()'ed above, - * assign -1 to the lock file descriptor so that commit_lock_file() + * Since the lock file was fdopen()'ed, it should not be close()'ed. + * Assign -1 to the lock file descriptor so that commit_lock_file() * won't try to close() it. */ mark_lock.fd = -1; - if (commit_lock_file(&mark_lock)) - failure |= error("Unable to write commit file %s: %s", + + dump_marks_helper(f, 0, marks); + if (ferror(f) || fclose(f)) { + rollback_lock_file(&mark_lock); + failure |= error("Unable to write marks file %s: %s", mark_file, strerror(errno)); + return; + } + + if (commit_lock_file(&mark_lock)) { + rollback_lock_file(&mark_lock); + failure |= error("Unable to commit marks file %s: %s", + mark_file, strerror(errno)); + return; + } } static int read_next_command(void)-- 1.5.4.rc3.17.gb63a4
