Several callers use fixed buffers for storing the pack object header, and they've picked 10 as a magic number. This is reasonable, since it handles objects up to 2^67.

2017-03-24encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer lengthLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it might be possible to overflow. In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to see such an object, but we might worry that an object could lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128 available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by the ABI. So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the resulting code easier to audit. Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

2017-01-27pack-objects: convert recursion to iteration in break_delta_chain()Libravatar Jeff King1-30/+99
The break_delta_chain() function is recursive over the depth of a given delta chain, which can lead to possibly running out of stack space. Normally delta depth is quite small, but if there _is_ a pathological case, this is where we would find and fix it, so we should be more careful. We can do it without recursion at all, but there's a little bit of cleverness needed to do so. It's easiest to explain by covering the less-clever strategies first. The obvious thing to try is just keeping our own stack on the heap. Whenever we would recurse, push the new entry onto the stack and loop instead. But this gets tricky; when we see an ACTIVE entry, we need to care if we just pushed it (in which case it's a cycle) or if we just popped it (in which case we dealt with its bases, and no we need to clear the ACTIVE flag and compute its depth). You can hack around that in various ways, like keeping a "just pushed" flag, but the logic gets muddled. However, we can observe that we do all of our pushes first, and then all of our pops afterwards. In other words, we can do this in two passes. First dig down to the base, stopping when we see a cycle, and pushing each item onto our stack. Then pop the stack elements, clearing the ACTIVE flag and computing the depth for each. This works, and is reasonably elegant. However, why do we need the stack for the second pass? We can just walk the delta pointers again. There's one complication. Popping the stack went over our list in reverse, so we could compute the depth of each entry by incrementing the depth of its base, which we will have just computed. To go forward in the second pass, we have to compute the total depth on the way down, and then assign it as we go. This patch implements this final strategy, because it not only keeps the memory off the stack, but it eliminates it entirely. Credit for the cleverness in that approach goes to Michael Haggerty; bugs are mine. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-01-27pack-objects: enforce --depth limit in reused deltasLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+18
Since 898b14c (pack-objects: rework check_delta_limit usage, 2007-04-16), we check the delta depth limit only when figuring out whether we should make a new delta. We don't consider it at all when reusing deltas, which means that packing once with --depth=250, and then again with --depth=50, the second pack may still contain chains larger than 50. This is generally considered a feature, as the results of earlier high-depth repacks are carried forward, used for serving fetches, etc. However, since we started using cross-pack deltas in c9af708b1 (pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs, 2016-08-11), we are no longer bounded by the length of an existing delta chain in a single pack. Here's one particular pathological case: a sequence of N packs, each with 2 objects, the base of which is stored as a delta in a previous pack. If we chain all the deltas together, we have a cycle of length N. We break the cycle, but the tip delta is still at depth N-1. This is less unlikely than it might sound. See the included test for a reconstruction based on real-world actions. I ran into such a case in the wild, where a client was rapidly sending packs, and we had accumulated 10,000 before doing a server-side repack. The pack that "git repack" tried to generate had a very deep chain, which caused pack-objects to run out of stack space in the recursive write_one(). This patch bounds the length of delta chains in the output pack based on --depth, regardless of whether they are caused by cross-pack deltas or existed in the input packs. This fixes the problem, but does have two possible downsides: 1. High-depth aggressive repacks followed by "normal" repacks will throw away the high-depth chains. In the long run this is probably OK; investigation showed that high-depth repacks aren't actually beneficial, and we dropped the aggressive depth default to match the normal case in 07e7dbf0d (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11). 2. If you really do want to store high-depth deltas on disk, they may be discarded and new delta computed when serving a fetch, unless you set pack.depth to match your high-depth size. The implementation uses the existing search for delta cycles. That lets us compute the depth of any node based on the depth of its base, because we know the base is DFS_DONE by the time we look at it (modulo any cycles in the graph, but we know there cannot be any because we break them as we see them). There is some subtlety worth mentioning, though. We record the depth of each object as we compute it. It might seem like we could save the per-object storage space by just keeping track of the depth of our traversal (i.e., have break_delta_chains() report how deep it went). But we may visit an object through multiple delta paths, and on subsequent paths we want to know its depth immediately, without having to walk back down to its final base (doing so would make our graph walk quadratic rather than linear). Likewise, one could try to record the depth not from the base, but from our starting point (i.e., start recursion_depth at 0, and pass "recursion_depth + 1" to each invocation of break_delta_chains()). And then when recursion_depth gets too big, we know that we must cut the delta chain. But that technique is wrong if we do not visit the nodes in topological order. In a chain A->B->C, it if we visit "C", then "B", then "A", we will never recurse deeper than 1 link (because we see at each node that we have already visited it).

2016-11-15compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+0
There are three codepaths that use a variable whose name is pack_compression_level to affect how objects and deltas sent to a packfile is compressed. Unlike zlib_compression_level that controls the loose object compression, however, this variable was static to each of these codepaths. Two of them read the pack.compression configuration variable, using core.compression as the default, and one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line. The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the configuration. Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression and make the former override the latter, by moving code to parse pack.compression and also allow core.compression to give default to this variable.

2016-09-12pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout packLibravatar Kirill Smelkov1-7/+24
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup "Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file. The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want: - to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are emitted to pack in suboptimal order). - to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption). Jeff King further explains: The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how "careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU. Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or "git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more responsibility for verifying the data. But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching pack index. So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic: to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the traversal. So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object counting phase when generating resultant pack file too: - if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack: See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption. - if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack: The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work simultaneously with two bitmap indices. We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation) generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries". When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to bitmap tail - not in recency order. So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow. - if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case: Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and friends. ( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation ) This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup: erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup repository managed by git-backup[2] via time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack before: 37.2s after: 26.2s And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack before: 7.1s after: 3.6s i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction. git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my initial motivation for the patch. [1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5 [2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup NOTE Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point, but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass --use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking remains robust. NOTE2 `git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from lab.nexedi.com backup repository: $ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack real 0m22.309s user 0m21.148s sys 0m0.932s $ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself! user 0m49.300s sys 0m1.360s So the time for `pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s, while `pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s. And even `pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s. Jeff explains: The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying all of the deltas. that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.

2016-09-12pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is ↵Libravatar Kirill Smelkov1-33/+64
in use Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap reachability index. However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all. The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions - potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or .keep'ed pack). We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons: 1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and 2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs. "2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover "1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry. In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active.

2016-09-07pack-objects: walk tag chains for --include-tagLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+30
When pack-objects is given --include-tag, it peels each tag ref down to a non-tag object, and if that non-tag object is going to be packed, we include the tag, too. But what happens if we have a chain of tags (e.g., tag "A" points to tag "B", which points to commit "C")? We'll peel down to "C" and realize that we want to include tag "A", but we do not ever consider tag "B", leading to a broken pack (assuming "B" was not otherwise selected). Instead, we have to walk the whole chain, adding any tags we find to the pack. Interestingly, it doesn't seem possible to trigger this problem with "git fetch", but you can with "git clone --single-branch". The reason is that we generate the correct pack when the client explicitly asks for "A" (because we do a real reachability analysis there), and "fetch" is more willing to do so. There are basically two cases: 1. If "C" is already a ref tip, then the client can deduce that it needs "A" itself (via find_non_local_tags), and will ask for it explicitly rather than relying on the include-tag capability. Everything works. 2. If "C" is not already a ref tip, then we hope for include-tag to send us the correct tag. But it doesn't; it generates a broken pack. However, the next step is to do a follow-up run of find_non_local_tags(), followed by fetch_refs() to backfill any tags we learned about. In the normal case, fetch_refs() calls quickfetch(), which does a connectivity check and sees we have no new objects to fetch. We just write the refs. But for the broken-pack case, the connectivity check fails, and quickfetch will follow-up with the remote, asking explicitly for each of the ref tips. This picks up the missing object in a new pack. For a regular "git clone", we are similarly OK, because we explicitly request all of the tag refs, and get a correct pack. But with "--single-branch", we kick in tag auto-following via "include-tag", but do _not_ do a follow-up backfill. We just take whatever the server sent us via include-tag and write out tag refs for any tag objects we were sent. So prior to c6807a4 (clone: open a shortcut for connectivity check, 2013-05-26), we actually claimed the clone was a success, but the result was silently corrupted! Since c6807a4, index-pack's connectivity check catches this case, and we correctly complain. The included test directly checks that pack-objects does not generate a broken pack, but also confirms that "clone --single-branch" does not hit the bug. Note that tag chains introduce another interesting question: if we are packing the tag "B" but not the commit "C", should "A" be included? Both before and after this patch, we do not include "A", because the initial peel_ref() check only knows about the bottom-most level, "C". To realize that "B" is involved at all, we would have to switch to an incremental peel, in which we examine each tagged object, asking if it is being packed (and including the outer tag if so). But that runs contrary to the optimizations in peel_ref(), which avoid accessing the objects at all, in favor of using the value we pull from packed-refs. It's OK to walk the whole chain once we know we're going to include the tag (we have to access it anyway, so the effort is proportional to the pack we're generating). But for the initial selection, we have to look at every ref. If we're only packing a few objects, we'd still have to parse every single referenced tag object just to confirm that it isn't part of a tag chain. This could be addressed if packed-refs stored the complete tag chain for each peeled ref (in most cases, this would be the same cost as now, as each "chain" is only a single link). But given the size of that project, it's out of scope for this fix (and probably nobody cares enough anyway, as it's such an obscure situation). This commit limits itself to just avoiding the creation of a broken pack. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-08-11pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packsLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+7
In the original implementation of want_object_in_pack(), we always looked for the object in every pack, so the order did not matter for performance. As of the last few patches, however, we can now often break out of the loop early after finding the first instance, and avoid looking in the other packs at all. In this case, pack order can make a big difference, because we'd like to find the objects by looking at as few packs as possible. This patch switches us to the same packed_git_mru list that is now used by normal object lookups. Here are timings for p5303 on linux.git: Test HEAD^ HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5303.3: rev-list (1) 31.31(31.07+0.23) 31.28(31.00+0.27) -0.1% 5303.4: repack (1) 40.35(38.84+2.60) 40.53(39.31+2.32) +0.4% 5303.6: rev-list (50) 31.37(31.15+0.21) 31.41(31.16+0.24) +0.1% 5303.7: repack (50) 58.25(68.54+2.03) 47.28(57.66+1.89) -18.8% 5303.9: rev-list (1000) 31.91(31.57+0.33) 31.93(31.64+0.28) +0.1% 5303.10: repack (1000) 304.80(376.00+3.92) 87.21(159.54+2.84) -71.4% The rev-list numbers are unchanged, which makes sense (they are not exercising this code at all). The 50- and 1000-pack repack cases show considerable improvement. The single-pack repack case doesn't, of course; there's nothing to improve. In fact, it gives us a baseline for how fast we could possibly go. You can see that though rev-list can approach the single-pack case even with 1000 packs, repack doesn't. The reason is simple: the loop we are optimizing is only part of what the repack is doing. After the "counting" phase, we do delta compression, which is much more expensive when there are multiple packs, because we have fewer deltas we can reuse (you can also see that these numbers come from a multicore machine; the CPU times are much higher than the wall-clock times due to the delta phase). So the good news is that in cases with many packs, we used to be dominated by the "counting" phase, and now we are dominated by the delta compression (which is faster, and which we have already parallelized). Here are similar numbers for git.git: Test HEAD^ HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------------- 5303.3: rev-list (1) 1.55(1.51+0.02) 1.54(1.53+0.00) -0.6% 5303.4: repack (1) 1.82(1.80+0.08) 1.82(1.78+0.09) +0.0% 5303.6: rev-list (50) 1.58(1.57+0.00) 1.58(1.56+0.01) +0.0% 5303.7: repack (50) 2.50(3.12+0.07) 2.31(2.95+0.06) -7.6% 5303.9: rev-list (1000) 2.22(2.20+0.02) 2.23(2.19+0.03) +0.5% 5303.10: repack (1000) 10.47(16.78+0.22) 7.50(13.76+0.22) -28.4% Not as impressive in terms of percentage, but still measurable wins. If you look at the wall-clock time improvements in the 1000-pack case, you can see that linux improved by roughly 10x as many seconds as git. That's because it has roughly 10x as many objects, and we'd expect this improvement to scale linearly with the number of objects (since the number of packs is kept constant). It's just that the "counting" phase is a smaller percentage of the total time spent for a git.git repack, and hence the percentage win is smaller. The implementation itself is a straightforward use of the MRU code. We only bother marking a pack as used when we know that we are able to break early out of the loop, for two reasons: 1. If we can't break out early, it does no good; we have to visit each pack anyway, so we might as well avoid even the minor overhead of managing the cache order. 2. The mru_mark() function reorders the list, which would screw up our traversal. So it is only safe to mark when we are about to break out of the loop. We could record the found pack and mark it after the loop finishes, of course, but that's more complicated and it doesn't buy us anything due to (1). Note that this reordering does have a potential impact on the final pack, as we store only a single "found" pack for each object, even if it is present in multiple packs. In principle, any copy is acceptable, as they all refer to the same content. But in practice, they may differ in whether they are stored as deltas, against which base, etc. This may have an impact on delta reuse, and even the delta search (since we skip pairs that were already in the same pack). It's not clear whether this change of order would hurt or even help average cases, though. The most likely reason to have duplicate objects is from the completion of thin packs (e.g., you have some objects in a "base" pack, then receive several pushes; the packs you receive may be thin on the wire, with deltas that refer to bases outside the pack, but we complete them with duplicate base objects when indexing them). In such a case the current code would always find the thin duplicates (because we currently walk the packs in reverse chronological order). Whereas with this patch, some of those duplicates would be found in the base pack instead. In my tests repacking a real-world case of linux.git with 3600 thin-pack pushes (on top of a large "base" pack), the resulting pack was about 0.04% larger with this patch. On the other hand, because we were more likely to hit the base pack, there were more opportunities for delta reuse, and we had 50,000 fewer objects to examine in the delta search.

2016-08-11pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phaseLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+84
We do not allow cycles in the delta graph of a pack (i.e., A is a delta of B which is a delta of A) for the obvious reason that you cannot actually access any of the objects in such a case. There's a last-ditch attempt to notice cycles during the write phase, during which we issue a warning to the user and write one of the objects out in full. However, this is "last-ditch" for two reasons: 1. By this time, it's too late to find another delta for the object, so the resulting pack is larger than it otherwise could be. 2. The warning is there because this is something that _shouldn't_ ever happen. If it does, then either: a. a pack we are reusing deltas from had its own cycle b. we are reusing deltas from multiple packs, and we found a cycle among them (i.e., A is a delta of B in one pack, but B is a delta of A in another, and we choose to use both deltas). c. there is a bug in the delta-search code So this code serves as a final check that none of these things has happened, warns the user, and prevents us from writing a bogus pack. Right now, (2b) should never happen because of the static ordering of packs in want_object_in_pack(). If two objects have a delta relationship, then they must be in the same pack, and therefore we will find them from that same pack. However, a future patch would like to change that static ordering, which will make (2b) a common occurrence. In preparation, we should be able to handle those kinds of cycles better. This patch does by introducing a cycle-breaking step during the get_object_details() phase, when we are deciding which deltas can be reused. That gives us the chance to feed the objects into the delta search as if the cycle did not exist. We'll leave the detection and warning in the write_object() phase in place, as it still serves as a check for case (2c). This does mean we will stop warning for (2a). That case is caused by bogus input packs, and we ideally would warn the user about it. However, since those cycles show up after picking reusable deltas, they look the same as (2b) to us; our new code will break the cycles early and the last-ditch check will never see them. We could do analysis on any cycles that we find to distinguish the two cases (i.e., it is a bogus pack if and only if every delta in the cycle is in the same pack), but we don't need to. If there is a cycle inside a pack, we'll run into problems not only reusing the delta, but accessing the object data at all. So when we try to dig up the actual size of the object, we'll hit that same cycle and kick in our usual complain-and-try-another-source code.

2016-07-29pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep earlyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+25
In want_object_in_pack(), we can exit early from our loop if neither "local" nor "ignore_pack_keep" are set. If they are, however, we must examine each pack to see if it has the object and is non-local or has a ".keep". It's quite common for there to be no non-local or .keep packs at all, in which case we know ahead of time that looking further will be pointless. We can pre-compute this by simply iterating over the list of packs ahead of time, and dropping the flags if there are no packs that could match. Another similar strategy would be to modify the loop in want_object_in_pack() to notice that we have already found the object once, and that we are looping only to check for "local" and "keep" attributes. If a pack has neither of those, we can skip the call to find_pack_entry_one(), which is the expensive part of the loop. This has two advantages: - it isn't all-or-nothing; we still get some improvement when there's a small number of kept or non-local packs, and a large number of non-kept local packs - it eliminates any possible race where we add new non-local or kept packs after our initial scan. In practice, I don't think this race matters; we already cache the packed_git information, so somebody who adds a new pack or .keep file after we've started will not be noticed at all, unless we happen to need to call reprepare_packed_git() because a lookup fails. In other words, we're already racy, and the race is not a big deal (losing the race means we might include an object in the pack that would not otherwise be, which is an acceptable outcome). However, it also has a disadvantage: we still loop over the rest of the packs for each object to check their flags. This is much less expensive than doing the object lookup, but still not free. So if we wanted to implement that strategy to cover the non-all-or-nothing cases, we could do so in addition to this one (so you get the most speedup in the all-or-nothing case, and the best we can do in the other cases). But given that the all-or-nothing case is likely the most common, it is probably not worth the trouble, and we can revisit this later if evidence points otherwise.

2016-07-29pack-objects: break out of want_object loop earlyLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+16
When pack-objects collects the list of objects to pack (either from stdin, or via its internal rev-list), it filters each one through want_object_in_pack(). This function loops through each existing packfile, looking for the object. When we find it, we mark the pack/offset combo for later use. However, we can't just return "yes, we want it" at that point. If --honor-pack-keep is in effect, we must keep looking to find it in _all_ packs, to make sure none of them has a .keep. Likewise, if --local is in effect, we must make sure it is not present in any non-local pack. As a result, the sum effort of these calls is effectively O(nr_objects * nr_packs). In an ordinary repository, we have only a handful of packs, and this doesn't make a big difference. But in pathological cases, it can slow the counting phase to a crawl. This patch notices the case that we have neither "--local" nor "--honor-pack-keep" in effect and breaks out of the loop early, after finding the first instance. Note that our worst case is still "objects * packs" (i.e., we might find each object in the last pack we look in), but in practice we will often break out early. On an "average" repo, my git.git with 8 packs, this shows a modest 2% (a few dozen milliseconds) improvement in the counting-objects phase of "git pack-objects --all <foo" (hackily instrumented by sticking exit(0) right after list_objects). But in a much more pathological case, it makes a bigger difference. I ran the same command on a real-world example with ~9 million objects across 1300 packs. The counting time dropped from 413s to 45s, an improvement of about 89%. Note that this patch won't do anything by itself for a normal "git gc", as it uses both --honor-pack-keep and --local.

A typical diff will not show what's going on and you need to see full functions. The core code is like this, at the end of of write_one() e->idx.offset = *offset; size = write_object(f, e, *offset); if (!size) { e->idx.offset = recursing; return WRITE_ONE_BREAK; } written_list[nr_written++] = &e->idx; /* make sure off_t is sufficiently large not to wrap */ if (signed_add_overflows(*offset, size)) die("pack too large for current definition of off_t"); *offset += size; Here we can see that the in-pack object size is returned by write_object (or indirectly by write_reuse_object). And it's used to calculate object offsets, which end up in the pack index file, generated at the end. If "size" overflows (on 32-bit sytems, unsigned long is 32-bit while off_t can be 64-bit), we got wrong offsets and produce incorrect .idx file, which may make it look like the .pack file is corrupted.

2016-06-14repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+31
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with "git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom scripts people might have driving "repack -k"). With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable objects into the pack along with the already-packed unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place. We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code. However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these objects doesn't matter much because they should not be accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become referenced, but then they would get moved to a different part of the packfile during the next repack).

2016-02-22convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAYLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+4
Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages: 1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication for overflow. 2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size, so that it can never go out of sync with the declared type of the array.

2016-02-12list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacksLibravatar Jeff King1-13/+2
When we find a blob at "a/b/c", we currently pass this to our show_object_fn callbacks as two components: "a/b/" and "c". Callbacks which want the full value then call path_name(), which concatenates the two. But this is an inefficient interface; the path is a strbuf, and we could simply append "c" to it temporarily, then roll back the length, without creating a new copy. So we could improve this by teaching the callsites of path_name() this trick (and there are only 3). But we can also notice that no callback actually cares about the broken-down representation, and simply pass each callback the full path "a/b/c" as a string. The callback code becomes even simpler, then, as we do not have to worry about freeing an allocated buffer, nor rolling back our modification to the strbuf. This is theoretically less efficient, as some callbacks would not bother to format the final path component. But in practice this is not measurable. Since we use the same strbuf over and over, our work to grow it is amortized, and we really only pay to memcpy a few bytes.

2016-02-12list-objects: drop name_path entirelyLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
In the previous commit, we left name_path as a thin wrapper around a strbuf. This patch drops it entirely. As a result, every show_object_fn callback needs to be adjusted. However, none of their code needs to be changed at all, because the only use was to pass it to path_name(), which now handles the bare strbuf.

2015-11-20Remove get_object_hash.Libravatar brian m. carlson1-7/+7
Convert all instances of get_object_hash to use an appropriate reference to the hash member of the oid member of struct object. This provides no functional change, as it is essentially a macro substitution. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2015-11-20Convert struct object to object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
struct object is one of the major data structures dealing with object IDs. Convert it to use struct object_id instead of an unsigned char array. Convert get_object_hash to refer to the new member as well. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2015-11-20Add several uses of get_object_hash.Libravatar brian m. carlson1-7/+7
Convert most instances where the sha1 member of struct object is dereferenced to use get_object_hash. Most instances that are passed to functions that have versions taking struct object_id, such as get_sha1_hex/get_oid_hex, or instances that can be trivially converted to use struct object_id instead, are not converted.
