2006-06-19Add "named object array" conceptLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-31/+33
We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

2006-06-17Some more memory leak avoidanceLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+8
This is really the dregs of my effort to not waste memory in git-rev-list, and makes barely one percent of a difference in the memory footprint, but hey, it's also a pretty small patch. It discards the parent lists and the commit buffer after the commit has been shown by git-rev-list (and "git log" - which already did the commit buffer part), and frees the commit list entry that was used by the revision walker. The big win would be to get rid of the "refs" pointer in the object structure (another 5%), because it's only used by fsck. That would require some pretty major surgery to fsck, though, so I'm timid and did the less interesting but much easier part instead. This (percentually) makes a bigger difference to "git log" and friends, since those are walking _just_ commits, and thus the list entries tend to be a bigger percentage of the memory use. But the "list all objects" case does improve too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-17Shrink "struct object" a bitLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+3
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

2006-06-05rev-list: fix process_tree() conversion.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
The tree-walking conversion of the "process_tree()" function broke packing by using an unrelated variable from outer scope. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-30tree_entry(): new tree-walking helper functionLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-11/+5
This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()". It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean "true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree. This allows tree traversal with struct tree_desc desc; struct name_entry entry; desc.buf = tree->buffer; desc.size = tree->size; while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) { ... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ... } which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less error prone too. [ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once. Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since it's returned as part of the name_entry structure. However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects --all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no longer the issue any more. ] NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface. We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

2006-05-29Remove "tree->entries" tree-entry list from tree parserLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-10/+16
Instead, just use the tree buffer directly, and use the tree-walk infrastructure to walk the buffers instead of the tree-entry list. The tree-entry list is inefficient, and generates tons of small allocations for no good reason. The tree-walk infrastructure is generally no harder to use than following a linked list, and allows us to do most tree parsing in-place. Some programs still use the old tree-entry lists, and are a bit painful to convert without major surgery. For them we have a helper function that creates a temporary tree-entry list on demand.

2006-05-29Make "tree_entry" have a SHA1 instead of a union of object pointersLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2

2006-05-29Make "struct tree" contain the pointer to the tree bufferLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+2

2006-05-28Fix memory leak in "git rev-list --objects"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+3
Martin Langhoff points out that "git repack -a" ends up using up a lot of memory for big archives, and that git cvsimport probably should do only incremental repacks in order to avoid having repacking flush all the caches. The big majority of the memory usage of repacking is from git rev-list tracking all objects, and this patch should go a long way in avoiding the excessive memory usage: the bulk of it was due to the object names being leaked from the tree parser. For the historic Linux kernel archive, this simple patch does: Before: /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --all --objects > /dev/null 72.45user 0.82system 1:13.55elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+125376minor)pagefaults 0swaps After: /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --all --objects > /dev/null 75.22user 0.48system 1:16.34elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+43921minor)pagefaults 0swaps where we do end up wasting a bit of time on some extra strdup()s (which could be avoided, but that would require tracking where the pathnames came from), but we avoid a lot of memory usage. Minor page faults track maximum RSS very closely (each page fault maps in one page into memory), so the reduction from 125376 page faults to 43921 means a rough reduction of VM footprint from almost half a gigabyte to about a third of that. Those numbers were also double-checked by looking at "top" while the process was running. (Side note: at least part of the remaining VM footprint is the mapping of the 177MB pack-file, so the remaining memory use is at least partly "well behaved" from a project caching perspective). For the current git archive itself, the memory usage for a "--all --objects" rev-list invocation dropped from 7128 pages to 2318 (27MB to 9MB), so the reduction seems to hold for much smaller projects too. For regular "git-rev-list" usage (ie without the "--objects" flag) this patch has no impact. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
