This series fixes a couple of brown paper bag bugs in the MIDX/bitmap code.
This started as a single patch to address the MSan issue pointing to uninitialized memory being used as a pack ID when trying to reject cross-pack deltas during verbatim pack reuse.
The latter two patches of this series address that issue. The middle patch squashes the bug and hardens against further regressions in that area with a test. The last patch further hardens us by ensuring that the "pack" input to midx_key_to_pack_pos() is bounded by the number of packs in the MIDX.
The first patch in this series fixes another bug I noticed while writing the test in the second patch which bisects to my d6a8c58675 (midx-write.c: support reading an existing MIDX with `packs_to_include`, 2024-05-29).
I would like to address the more fundamental issues that are described in the first patch, but I think the reality is that doing so is much more involved than a short series during week 6 of the release cycle warrants. So instead, the first patch is a revert of d6a8c58675 (plus a test to demonstrate the issue with it) which buys us some time to teach the MIDX code how to handle not every pack being carried forward from an existing MIDX.
Thanks in advance for your review, and sorry for these embarrassing bugs.

- pack-bitmap.c: avoid uninitialized `pack_int_id` during reuse
-
- When performing multi-pack reuse, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
- is responsible for generating an array of bitmapped_pack structs from
- which to perform reuse.
-
- In the multi-pack case, we loop over the MIDXs packs and copy the result
- of calling `nth_bitmapped_pack()` to construct the list of reusable
- paths.
-
- But we may also want to do pack-reuse over a single pack, either because
- we only had one pack to perform reuse over (in the case of single-pack
- bitmaps), or because we explicitly asked to do single pack reuse even
- with a MIDX[^1].
-
- When this is the case, the array we generate of reusable packs contains
- only a single element, which is either (a) the pack attached to the
- single-pack bitmap, or (b) the MIDX's preferred pack.
-
- In 795006fff4 (pack-bitmap: gracefully handle missing BTMP chunks,
- 2024-04-15), we refactored the reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
- function and stopped assigning the pack_int_id field when reusing only
- the MIDX's preferred pack. This results in an uninitialized read down in
- try_partial_reuse() like so:
-
- ==7474==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
- #0 0x55c5cd191dde in try_partial_reuse pack-bitmap.c:1887:8
- #1 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap_1 pack-bitmap.c:2001:8
- #2 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap pack-bitmap.c:2105:3
- #3 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list_from_bitmap builtin/pack-objects.c:4043:3
- #4 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list builtin/pack-objects.c:4156:27
- #5 0x55c5cce0bd0e in cmd_pack_objects builtin/pack-objects.c:4596:3
- #6 0x55c5ccc8fac8 in run_builtin git.c:474:11
-
- which happens when try_partial_reuse() tries to call
- midx_pair_to_pack_pos() when it tries to reject cross-pack deltas.
-
- Avoid the uninitialized read by ensuring that the pack_int_id field is
- set in the single-pack reuse case by setting it to either the MIDX
- preferred pack's pack_int_id, or '0', in the case of single-pack
- bitmaps. In the latter case, we never read the pack_int_id field, so
- the choice of '0' is arbitrary.
-
- [^1]: This can happen for a couple of reasons, either because the
- repository is configured with 'pack.allowPackReuse=(true|single)', or
- because the MIDX was generated prior to the introduction of the BTMP
- chunk, which contains information necessary to perform multi-pack
- reuse.

+ midx-write.c: do not read existing MIDX with `packs_to_include`
+
+ Commit d6a8c58675 (midx-write.c: support reading an existing MIDX with
+ `packs_to_include`, 2024-05-29) changed the MIDX generation machinery to
+ support reading from an existing MIDX when writing a new one.
+
+ Unfortunately, the rest of the MIDX generation machinery is not prepared
+ to deal with such a change. For instance, the function responsible for
+ adding to the object ID fanout table from a MIDX source
+ (midx_fanout_add_midx_fanout()) will gladly add objects from an existing
+ MIDX for some fanout level regardless of whether or not those objects
+ came from packs that are to be included in the subsequent MIDX write.
+
+ This results in broken pseudo-pack object order (leading to incorrect
+ object traversal results) and segmentation faults, like so (generated by
+ running the added test prior to the changes in midx-write.c):
+
+ #0 0x000055ee31393f47 in midx_pack_order (ctx=0x7ffdde205c70) at midx-write.c:590
+ #1 0x000055ee31395a69 in write_midx_internal (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
+ packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, packs_to_drop=0x0, preferred_pack_name=0x0,
+ refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15) at midx-write.c:1171
+ #2 0x000055ee31395f38 in write_midx_file_only (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
+ packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, preferred_pack_name=0x0, refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15)
+ at midx-write.c:1274
+ [...]
+
+ In stack frame #0, the code on midx-write.c:590 is using the new pack ID
+ corresponding to some object which was added from the existing MIDX.
+ Importantly, the pack from which that object was selected in the
+ existing MIDX does not appear in the new MIDX as it was excluded via
+ `--stdin-packs`.
+
+ In this instance, the pack in question had pack ID "1" in the existing
+ MIDX, but since it was excluded from the new MIDX, we never filled in
+ that entry in the pack_perm table, resulting in:
+
+ (gdb) p *ctx->pack_perm@2
+ $1 = {0, 1515870810}
+
+ Which is what causes the segfault above when we try and read:
+
+ struct pack_info *pack = &ctx->info[ctx->pack_perm[i]];
+ if (pack->bitmap_pos == BITMAP_POS_UNKNOWN)
+ pack->bitmap_pos = 0;
+
+ Fundamentally, we should be able to read information from an existing
+ MIDX when generating a new one. But in practice the midx-write.c code
+ assumes that we won't run into issues like the above with incongruent
+ pack IDs, and often makes those assumptions in extremely subtle and
+ fragile ways.
+
+ Instead, let's avoid reading from an existing MIDX altogether, and stick
+ with the pre-d6a8c58675 implementation. Harden against any regressions
+ in this area by adding a test which demonstrates these issues.
