In commit e90d54d of PR git-lfs#2329 the
"git/githistory/log" package was added, including the PercentageTask
structure and associated methods, but unlike the WaitingTask which
was added at the same time, no Complete() method was defined for
the PercentageTask structure.
(Note that the "git/githistory/log" package was later renamed to the
"tasklog" package in commits b9ab79e
and 45c580e of PR git-lfs#2747.)
Other task types such as the ListTask and SimpleTask structures
(introduced in commit 31ffeb9 of
PR git-lfs#2335 and commit 7a760b6 of PR git-lfs#2756,
respectively) provide a Complete() method, and the Meter task type
of the "tq" package, which implemented the Task interface in commit
7c0f9e2 of PR git-lfs#2732, provides an
equivalent Finish() method. These methods allow the caller to
explicitly close the channel returned by the Updates() method,
on which the anonymous goroutine started by the Logger.consume() method
for the task is waiting, in a "range" loop on the channel in the
Logger.logTask() method.
One key use of the PercentageTask structure is in the methods of
the Rewriter structure from the "git/githistory" package. It is
initialized with the number of commits to be rewritten during
a "git lfs migrate" command's traversal of a Git repository's history.
As each commit is rewritten, the Count() method is called to
increment the percentage completed value. When every commit has
been rewritten, the count reaches the expected total, and the
Count() method closes the channel, thus allowing the task receiving
updates to finish and exit its goroutine.
Under exceptional circumstances, though, the Rewrite() method of
the Rewriter structure may never finish iterating through all
the expected commits, and return in error or via a panic call.
When this happens, the goroutine waiting on the PercentageTask's
updates channel can never exit, leading to a hung process which
never fully exits.
In order to allow the Rewriter's Rewrite() method to define a
deferred function which will always be called when it returns,
under any circumstances, we add a Complete() method for the
PercentageTask structure which sets the number of completed elements
to the expected total in an atomic swap, and then closes the
updates channel if the number of completed elements was previously
less than the expected total.
We also add a test to validate this new method's behaviour, and
update the existing TestPercentageTaskCallsDoneWhenComplete()
function to also confirm that calling the new Complete() method
after the number of completed elements has reached the expected
total does not cause a second attempt to close the updates channel.
