sha1-file: remove OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_CACHED

2020-01-02T20:53:30Z

In a partial clone, if a user provides the hash of the empty tree ("git mktree then Git will lazily fetch the empty tree, unnecessarily, because parsing of that object invokes repo_has_object_file(), which does not special-case the empty tree. Instead, teach repo_has_object_file() to consult find_cached_object() (which handles the empty tree), thus bringing it in line with the rest of the object-store-accessing functions. A cost is that repo_has_object_file() will now need to oideq upon each invocation, but that is trivial compared to the filesystem lookup or the pack index search required anyway. (And if find_cached_object() needs to do more because of previous invocations to pretend_object_file(), all the more reason to be consistent in whether we present cached objects.) As a historical note, the function now known as repo_read_object_file() was taught the empty tree in 346245a1bb ("hard-code the empty tree object", 2008-02-13), and the function now known as oid_object_info() was taught the empty tree in c4d9986f5f ("sha1_object_info: examine cached_object store too", 2011-02-07). repo_has_object_file() was never updated, perhaps due to oversight. The flag OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_CACHED, introduced later in dfdd4afcf9 ("sha1_file: teach sha1_object_info_extended more flags", 2017-06-26) and used in e83e71c5e1 ("sha1_file: refactor has_sha1_file_with_flags", 2017-06-26), was introduced to preserve this difference in empty-tree handling, but now it can be removed.

packfile.c: speed up loading lots of packfiles

2019-12-03T15:59:45Z

When loading packfiles on start-up, we traverse the internal packfile list once per file to avoid reloading packfiles that have already been loaded. This check runs in quadratic time, so for poorly maintained repos with a large number of packfiles, it can be pretty slow. Add a hashmap containing the packfile names as we load them so that the average runtime cost of checking for already-loaded packs becomes constant. Add a perf test to p5303 to show speed-up. The existing p5303 test runtimes are dominated by other factors and do not show an appreciable speed-up. The new test in p5303 clearly exposes a speed-up in bad cases. In this test we create 10,000 packfiles and measure the start-up time of git rev-parse, which does little else besides load in the packs. Here are the numbers for the new p5303 test: Test HEAD^ HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------------- 5303.12: load 10,000 packs 1.03(0.92+0.10) 0.12(0.02+0.09) -88.3% Signed-off-by: Colin Stolley Helped-by: Jeff King [jc: squashed the change to call hashmap in install_packed_git() by peff] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object-store.h: move for_each_alternate_ref() from transport.h

2019-07-01T16:47:29Z

There's nothing inherently transport-related about enumerating the alternate ref tips. The code has lived in transport.[ch] because the only use so far had been advertising available tips during transport. But it could be used for more, and a future patch will teach rev-list to access these refs. Let's move it alongside the other alt-odb code, declaring it in object-store.h with the implementation in sha1-file.c. This lets us drop the inclusion of transport.h from receive-pack, which perhaps shows how it was misplaced (though receive-pack is about transporting objects, transport.h is mostly about the client side).

sha1-file: split OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH

2019-05-28T20:31:50Z

The OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH bitflag was added to sha1-file.c in 0f4a4fb1 (sha1-file: support OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH, 2019-03-29) and is used to prevent the fetch_objects() method when enabled. However, there is a problem with the current use. The definition of OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH is given by adding 32 to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. This is clearly stated above the definition (in a comment) that this is so OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH implies OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The problem is that using "flag & OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH" means that OBJECT_INFO_QUICK also implies OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH. Split out the single bit from OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH into a new OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT as the single bit and keep OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH as the union of two flags. This allows a clearer use of flag checking while also keeping the implication of OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

midx: add packs to packed_git linked list

2019-05-07T04:48:42Z

The multi-pack-index allows searching for objects across multiple packs using one object list. The original design gains many of these performance benefits by keeping the packs in the multi-pack-index out of the packed_git list. Unfortunately, this has one major drawback. If the multi-pack-index covers thousands of packs, and a command loads many of those packs, then we can hit the limit for open file descriptors. The close_one_pack() method is used to limit this resource, but it only looks at the packed_git list, and uses an LRU cache to prevent thrashing. Instead of complicating this close_one_pack() logic to include direct references to the multi-pack-index, simply add the packs opened by the multi-pack-index to the packed_git list. This immediately solves the file-descriptor limit problem, but requires some extra steps to avoid performance issues or other problems: 1. Create a multi_pack_index bit in the packed_git struct that is one if and only if the pack was loaded from a multi-pack-index. 2. Skip packs with the multi_pack_index bit when doing object lookups and abbreviations. These algorithms already check the multi-pack-index before the packed_git struct. This has a very small performance hit, as we need to walk more packed_git structs. This is acceptable, since these operations run binary search on the other packs, so this walk-and-ignore logic is very fast by comparison. 3. When closing a multi-pack-index file, do not close its packs, as those packs will be closed using close_all_packs(). In some cases, such as 'git repack', we run 'close_midx()' without also closing the packs, so we need to un-set the multi_pack_index bit in those packs. This is necessary, and caught by running t6501-freshen-objects.sh with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1. To manually test this change, I inserted trace2 logging into close_pack_fd() and set pack_max_fds to 10, then ran 'git rev-list --all --objects' on a copy of the Git repo with 300+ pack-files and a multi-pack-index. The logs verified the packs are closed as we read them beyond the file descriptor limit. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
