2021-10-28midx.c: write MIDX filenames to strbufLibravatar Taylor Blau1-2/+2
To ask for the name of a MIDX and its corresponding .rev file, callers invoke get_midx_filename() and get_midx_rev_filename(), respectively. These both invoke xstrfmt(), allocating a chunk of memory which must be freed later on. This makes callers in pack-bitmap.c somewhat awkward. Specifically, midx_bitmap_filename(), which is implemented like: return xstrfmt("%s-%s.bitmap", get_midx_filename(midx->object_dir), hash_to_hex(get_midx_checksum(midx))); this leaks the second argument to xstrfmt(), which itself was allocated with xstrfmt(). This caller could assign both the result of get_midx_filename() and the outer xstrfmt() to a temporary variable, remembering to free() the former before returning. But that involves a wasteful copy. Instead, get_midx_filename() and get_midx_rev_filename() take a strbuf as an output parameter. This way midx_bitmap_filename() can manipulate and pass around a temporary buffer which it detaches back to its caller. That allows us to implement the function without copying or open-coding get_midx_filename() in a way that doesn't leak. Update the other callers of get_midx_filename() and get_midx_rev_filename() accordingly. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-09-28midx: preliminary support for `--refs-snapshot`Libravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+5
To figure out which commits we can write a bitmap for, the multi-pack index/bitmap code does a reachability traversal, marking any commit which can be found in the MIDX as eligible to receive a bitmap. This approach will cause a problem when multi-pack bitmaps are able to be generated from `git repack`, since the reference tips can change during the repack. Even though we ignore commits that don't exist in the MIDX (when doing a scan of the ref tips), it's possible that a commit in the MIDX reaches something that isn't. This can happen when a multi-pack index contains some pack which refers to loose objects (e.g., if a pack was pushed after starting the repack but before generating the MIDX which depends on an object which is stored as loose in the repository, and by definition isn't included in the multi-pack index). By taking a snapshot of the references before we start repacking, we can close that race window. In the above scenario (where we have a packed object pointing at a loose one), we'll either (a) take a snapshot of the references before seeing the packed one, or (b) take it after, at which point we can guarantee that the loose object will be packed and included in the MIDX. This patch does just that. It writes a temporary "reference snapshot", which is a list of OIDs that are at the ref tips before writing a multi-pack bitmap. References that are "preferred" (i.e,. are a suffix of at least one value of the 'pack.preferBitmapTips' configuration) are marked with a special '+'. The format is simple: one line per commit at each tip, with an optional '+' at the beginning (for preferred references, as described above). When provided, the reference snapshot is used to drive bitmap selection instead of the MIDX code doing its own traversal. When it isn't provided, the usual traversal takes place instead.

This will be used in an upcoming patch to power a new `--stdin-packs` mode of `git multi-pack-index write` for callers that only want to include certain packs in a MIDX (and ignore any packs which may have happened to enter the repository independently, e.g., from pushes).

2021-09-14midx.c: respect 'pack.writeBitmapHashcache' when writing bitmapsLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+1
In the previous commit, the bitmap writing code learned to propagate values from an existing hash-cache extension into the bitmap that it is writing. Now that that functionality exists, let's expose it by teaching the 'git multi-pack-index' builtin to respect the `pack.writeBitmapHashCache` option so that the hash-cache may be written at all. Two minor points worth noting here: - The 'git multi-pack-index write' sub-command didn't previously read any configuration (instead this is handled in the base command). A separate handler is added here to respect this write-specific config option. - I briefly considered adding a 'bitmap_flags' field to the static options struct, but decided against it since it would require plumbing through a new parameter to the write_midx_file() function. Instead, a new MIDX-specific flag is added, which is translated to the corresponding bitmap one. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

To write a multi-pack bitmap, this patch attempts to reuse as much of the existing machinery from pack-objects as possible.

2021-04-01pack-revindex: write multi-pack reverse indexesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+1
Implement the writing half of multi-pack reverse indexes. This is nothing more than the format describe a few patches ago, with a new set of helper functions that will be used to clear out stale .rev files corresponding to old MIDXs. Unfortunately, a very similar comparison function as the one implemented recently in pack-revindex.c is reimplemented here, this time accepting a MIDX-internal type. An effort to DRY these up would create more indirection and overhead than is necessary, so it isn't pursued here. Currently, there are no callers which pass the MIDX_WRITE_REV_INDEX flag, meaning that this is all dead code. But, that won't be the case for long, since subsequent patches will introduce the multi-pack bitmap, which will begin passing this field. (In midx.c:write_midx_internal(), the two adjacent if statements share a conditional, but are written separately since the first one will eventually also handle the MIDX_WRITE_BITMAP flag, which does not yet exist.)

2021-04-01pack-revindex: read multi-pack reverse indexesLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+6
Implement reading for multi-pack reverse indexes, as described in the previous patch. Note that these functions don't yet have any callers, and won't until multi-pack reachability bitmaps are introduced in a later patch series. In the meantime, this patch implements some of the infrastructure necessary to support multi-pack bitmaps. There are three new functions exposed by the revindex API: - load_midx_revindex(): loads the reverse index corresponding to the given multi-pack index. - midx_to_pack_pos() and pack_pos_to_midx(): these convert between the multi-pack index and pseudo-pack order. load_midx_revindex() and pack_pos_to_midx() are both relatively straightforward. load_midx_revindex() needs a few functions to be exposed from the midx API. One to get the checksum of a midx, and another to get the .rev's filename. Similar to recent changes in the packed_git struct, three new fields are added to the multi_pack_index struct: one to keep track of the size, one to keep track of the mmap'd pointer, and another to point past the header and at the reverse index's data. pack_pos_to_midx() simply reads the corresponding entry out of the table. midx_to_pack_pos() is the trickiest, since it needs to find an object's position in the psuedo-pack order, but that order can only be recovered in the .rev file itself. This mapping can be implemented with a binary search, but note that the thing we're binary searching over isn't an array of values, but rather a permuted order of those values. So, when comparing two items, it's helpful to keep in mind the difference. Instead of a traditional binary search, where you are comparing two things directly, here we're comparing a (pack, offset) tuple with an index into the multi-pack index. That index describes another (pack, offset) tuple, and it is _those_ two tuples that are compared. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-04-01midx: make some functions non-staticLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+2
In a subsequent commit, pack-revindex.c will become responsible for sorting a list of objects in the "MIDX pack order" (which will be defined in the following patch). To do so, it will need to be know the pack identifier and offset within that pack for each object in the MIDX. The MIDX code already has functions for doing just that (nth_midxed_offset() and nth_midxed_pack_int_id()), but they are statically declared. Since there is no reason that they couldn't be exposed publicly, and because they are already doing exactly what the caller in pack-revindex.c will want, expose them publicly so that they can be reused there.

2021-04-01midx: allow marking a pack as preferredLibravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+1
When multiple packs in the multi-pack index contain the same object, the MIDX machinery must make a choice about which pack it associates with that object. Prior to this patch, the lowest-ordered[1] pack was always selected. Pack selection for duplicate objects is relatively unimportant today, but it will become important for multi-pack bitmaps. This is because we can only invoke the pack-reuse mechanism when all of the bits for reused objects come from the reuse pack (in order to ensure that all reused deltas can find their base objects in the same pack). To encourage the pack selection process to prefer one pack over another (the pack to be preferred is the one a caller would like to later use as a reuse pack), introduce the concept of a "preferred pack". When provided, the MIDX code will always prefer an object found in a preferred pack over any other. No format changes are required to store the preferred pack, since it will be able to be inferred with a corresponding MIDX bitmap, by looking up the pack associated with the object in the first bit position (this ordering is described in detail in a subsequent commit). [1]: the ordering is specified by MIDX internals; for our purposes we can consider the "lowest ordered" pack to be "the one with the most-recent mtime.

2019-06-11multi-pack-index: prepare 'repack' subcommandLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
In an environment where the multi-pack-index is useful, it is due to many pack-files and an inability to repack the object store into a single pack-file. However, it is likely that many of these pack-files are rather small, and could be repacked into a slightly larger pack-file without too much effort. It may also be important to ensure the object store is highly available and the repack operation does not interrupt concurrent git commands. Introduce a 'repack' subcommand to 'git multi-pack-index' that takes a '--batch-size' option. The subcommand will inspect the multi-pack-index for referenced pack-files whose size is smaller than the batch size, until collecting a list of pack-files whose sizes sum to larger than the batch size. Then, a new pack-file will be created containing the objects from those pack-files that are referenced by the multi-pack-index. The resulting pack is likely to actually be smaller than the batch size due to compression and the fact that there may be objects in the pack- files that have duplicate copies in other pack-files. The current change introduces the command-line arguments, and we add a test that ensures we parse these options properly. Since we specify a small batch size, we will guarantee that future implementations do not change the list of pack-files. In addition, we hard-code the modified times of the packs in the pack directory to ensure the list of packs sorted by modified time matches the order if sorted by size (ascending). This will be important in a future test. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-06-11multi-pack-index: prepare for 'expire' subcommandLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+1
The multi-pack-index tracks objects in a collection of pack-files. Only one copy of each object is indexed, using the modified time of the pack-files to determine tie-breakers. It is possible to have a pack-file with no referenced objects because all objects have a duplicate in a newer pack-file. Introduce a new 'expire' subcommand to the multi-pack-index builtin. This subcommand will delete these unused pack-files and rewrite the multi-pack-index to no longer refer to those files. More details about the specifics will follow as the method is implemented. Add a test that verifies the 'expire' subcommand is correctly wired, but will still be valid when the verb is implemented. Specifically, create a set of packs that should all have referenced objects and should not be removed during an 'expire' operation. The packs are created carefully to ensure they have a specific order when sorted by size. This will be important in a later test.

2019-04-16midx: check both pack and index names for containmentLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
A midx file (and the struct we parse from it) contains a list of all of the covered packfiles, mentioned by their ".idx" names (e.g., "pack-1234.idx", etc). And thus calls to midx_contains_pack() expect callers to provide the idx name. This works for most of the calls, but the one in open_packed_git_1() tries to feed a packed_git->pack_name, which is the ".pack" name, meaning we'll never find a match (even if the pack is covered by the midx). We can fix this by converting the ".pack" to ".idx" in the caller. However, that requires allocating a new string. Instead, let's make midx_contains_pack() a bit friendlier, and allow it take _either_ the .pack or .idx variant. All cleverness in the matching code is credited to René. Bugs are mine. There's no test here, because while this does fix _a_ bug, it's masked by another bug in that same caller. That will be covered (with a test) in the next patch.

The multi-pack-index feature is tested in isolation by t5319-multi-pack-index.sh, but there are many more interesting scenarios in the test suite surrounding pack-file data shapes and interactions. Since the multi-pack-index is an optional data structure, it does not make sense to include it by default in those tests. Instead, add a new GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX environment variable that enables core.multiPackIndex and writes a multi-pack-index after each 'git repack' command. This adds extra test coverage when needed. There are a few spots in the test suite that need to react to this change: * t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: there is a test that checks that 'git repack' deletes the multi-pack-index. Disable the environment variable to ensure this still happens. * t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh: One test moves a pack-file from the object directory to an alternate. This breaks the multi-pack-index, so delete the multi-pack-index at this point, if it exists. * t9300-fast-import.sh: One test verifies the number of files in the .git/objects/pack directory is exactly 8.

The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version 1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into that 64-bit table as necessary. We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these offsets during a 'verify' step.

Modify t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to reflect this new output and the new expected number of chunks.

There are many checks that verify that the values we are writing fit the format definitions.
