Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-07-04 22:35:58 UTC
The following file is mis-flagged as an orphan:

$ fgrep -R /usr/lib64/ghc-8.6.5/gentoo/gentoo-empty-dev-haskell-void-0.7.2.conf /var/db/pkg/dev-haskell/void-0.7.2/

$ qfile -o /usr/lib64/ghc-8.6.5/gentoo/gentoo-empty-dev-haskell-void-0.7.2.conf
/usr/lib64/ghc-8.6.5/gentoo/gentoo-empty-dev-haskell-void-0.7.2.conf

Noticed when haskell-updater started reporting a ton of orphan files that are supposed to be tracked by package manager.

I'm not sure yet what is causing misdetection. Bisectinlg locally.

    libq/tree: make pkg sorting based on atom_compare
    
    Using alphasort on pkgs makes little sense because they include version
    information that needs careful extraction and matching rules as
    implemented by atom_compare.
    
    In order to use atom_compare efficiently, that is, reusing the
    atom_explode work done for the elements while running qsort, use
    tree_get_atom, which caches the retrieved atom.  Extra bonus is that any
    function that retrieves the atom afterwards gets it for free.  This
    speeds up significantly apps that need to construct atoms, such as
    qkeywords.

Out of curiosity, does tests/qfile run successfully on your system?  I'm a bit confused as to how pkg sorting order can influence this bug somehow.

This is an expected/intended leak, unless I interpret asan's output incorrectly.  I'll run valgrind later on this to confirm.

At first sight, this cannot be the right approach, it indicates some bigger problem (like unhandled empty dir scenario or something).  I'll have to look at it later also.

Like you reported, it isn't the problem you're seeing.  Somehow the sort order either makes the problematic case (as here) appear too early and therefore make the code don't "see" this entry, or something else is messing it up.

I'm leaving for holidays now, so I cannot commit to a timeframe for this, sorry.  Thanks for your evaluations/help sofar!

    libq/tree: avoid calling qsort with empty set
    
    Encountering an empty directory in tree_next_pkg_int will not populate
    cat_ctx->pkg_ctxs, so avoid calling qsort with it.  While at it, avoid
    calling it for a single entry too.

Comment 10 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2019-07-12 18:09:41 UTC
Can I have your entire /var/db/pkg?  I need to reproduce this issue.  It's probably some corner case I haven't seen yet.  Experimenting here has been unsuccessful sofar.
Comment 11 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-07-13 10:47:48 UTC
My /var/db/pkg is a bit big. I've adopted your command from #comment4 to run on every 'obj' entry from CONTENTS in a copy of /var/db/pkg as:

  $ cat bug.bash 
  #!/bin/bash

  # fetch all object names (files). caveat: space is handled incorrectly
  find dev-haskell -name CONTENTS -exec grep ^obj '{}' \; |
    awk '{print $2}' |
    # query files against db
    ROOT=$(pwd) Q_VDB=/ xargs qfile -o

It's a bit hacky as it breaks on spaces but is good enough to remove most of seemingly unrelated content:

   $ ./bug.bash
   /usr/lib64/ghc-8.6.5/gentoo/gentoo-dev-haskell-libxml-sax-0.7.5-libxml-sax-0.7.5.conf
   /usr/lib64/ghc-8.6.5/gentoo/gentoo-empty-dev-haskell-libxml-sax-0.7.5.conf
   /usr/lib64/ghc-8.6.5/package.conf.d/libxml-sax-0.7.5-4zvThBcDksZKjZMmnQUocC.conf
   /usr/lib64/libxml-sax-0.7.5/ghc-8.6.5/Text/XML/LibXML/SAX.dyn_hi
   ...

I've uploaded selfcontained subset of /var/db/pkg and a script as:
    
   https://dev.gentoo.org/~slyfox/bugs/vdb-bug-b689290.tar.bz2

It's 20MB

It looks like that removing enough files makes all orphans to go away. Which hints at the amount of input data being the problem and not necessarily a specific entry.

    libq/tree: ensure we don't work on garbage on sorted pkg trees
    
    The contents of dirents come from a static buffer that may get
    re-purposed when the next readdir call is made, so we cannot rely on it
    staying around.  In particular on large directories, the entries will
    get recycled, and hence garbage appear.  Thus, we need to copy the
    entries, and free those copies.  The behaviour before
    f855d0f4f7c3e6e570a1ad3dc98d737e78996e4a was actually using scandir
    which allocates space for all dirents.  We now basically just copy the
    bit we need, instead of the full dirent.
    
    Thanks Sergei Trofimovich (slyfox) for digging into this case and
    providing a VDB which displayed the problem.

One more unrelated valgrind complain: when 'qfile' is ran through xargs (as in scrip from #comment11) valgrind detects uninitialized variable detection due to failing ioctl():

    main: rework terminal-based settings somewhat
    
    As pointed out by slyfox, the result from ioctl was ignored and its
    result used anyway.  While at it to fix this, rework the logic somewhat,
    such that terminal width and colours are always disabled when we're not
    dealing with a TTY.
