sort: handle fd exhaustion better when merging

This is an alternative to my 9 March patch labeled "Silently lower
nmerge; don't (sometimes incorrectly) range-check"
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00070.html>.
It differs by not using 'dup' to probe for extra file descriptors;
instead, it simply calls 'open' (and 'pipe') to open files and pipes,
until one of these calls fails due to file descriptor exhaustion; it
then backs off by 1, does a merge with the files that it has opened,
and then retries with the (now-smaller) number of files.

This patch requires quite a few more changes to the source code than
the earlier patch, but it is in some sense "better" because it doesn't
need to call "dup" ahead of time in order to decide whether "open" or
"pipe" will fail.  Also, it's more robust in the case where "open" or
"pipe" fails with errno==EMFILE because some system-wide limit is
exhausted.

* src/sort.c (create_temp_file): New arg SURVIVE_FD_EXHAUSTION.
(stream_open): New function, containing guts of xfopen.
(xfopen): Use it.
(pipe_fork): Set errno on failure.
(maybe_create_temp): New function, containing guts of create_temp.
(create_temp): Use it.
(open_temp): Distinguish failures due to file descriptor exhaustion
from other failures, and on fd exhaustion return a notice to caller
rather than dying.  Don't test execlp's return value; when it returns,
it *always* returns -1.
(open_input_files): New function.

the input and output files.  All callers changed.

(avoid_trashing_input, merge): Handle the case where a single merge

Jim Meyering [Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:23:44 +0000 (09:23 +0100)]
cp: diagnose invalid "cp -rl dir dir" right away, once again

Running "mkdir dir; cp -rl dir dir" would create dir/dir/dir/...
rather than diagnosing the "copy-into-self" failure.

The easy fix would have been to revert this part of the change
[3ece0355 2008-11-09 cp: use far less memory in some cases]
that introduced the bug:

-         remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev);
+         if (!x->hard_link)
+           remember_copied (dst_name, dst_sb.st_ino, dst_sb.st_dev);

However, that would have induced the failure of the new cp/link-heap
test, due to the added memory pressure of recording 10k dev/ino pairs.
And besides, I liked that improvement and wanted to keep it.

Now that it's obvious recording the just-created-directory dev/ino
needn't depend on the setting of hard_link, I realized it is necessary
to record the pair only for the first directory created for each
source command-line argument.

I made that change, then noticed the new test, cp -rl a d d, would pass
when run once, yet output the into-self diagnostic twice.  Also note
the side effect: it creates d/a and d/d.  However, running that same
command a second time, now with the modified directory, would fail.

That turned out to be due to the fact that although the first into-self
failure was detected in copy_dir, that function would continue copying
other entries regardless -- and that would make it fail (eventually)
with the unwanted recursion.

* src/copy.c (copy_internal): This function needed an indicator of
whether, for a give command line argument, it had already created its
first directory.  If so, no more need to record dev/ino pairs.  If this
is the first, then do record its pair.  Hence, the new parameter.
(copy_dir, copy): Update callers.
(copy_dir): Upon any into-self failure, break out of the loop.
* tests/cp/into-self: Test for the above.
