2013-12-30pack-objects: implement bitmap writingLibravatar Vicent Marti1-0/+2
This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together with the `.idx` index that currently gets written. If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling `pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having `pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the packfile. Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is performed in several steps: 1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity 2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of `struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps (one for each object type). These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be 1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit. This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array, and hence the real type for each object in the packfile. 3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a repository that already has bitmaps. 4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array. We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits. Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps. The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's original implementation. We select a higher density of commits depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the commit with the most parents. Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit selection; different selection algorithms will result in different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as "missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in `prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g. the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them is always available. 5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental walks to generate the bitmap for each commit. The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B, C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps. A---a---B--b--C--c--D \ E--e--F We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already been SEEN on the previous walk. This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk nor the bitmap we have generated so far. What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed. Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed so far, allowing us to limit the walk early. After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when loaded. This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile. 6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated in the two previous steps. The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to its final destination, using the same process as `pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

2011-02-27index-pack --verify: read anomalous offsets from v2 idx fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+17
A pack v2 .idx file usually records offset using 64-bit representation only when the offset does not fit within 31-bit, but you can handcraft your .idx file to record smaller offset using 64-bit, storing all zero in the upper 4-byte. By inspecting the original idx file when running index-pack --verify, encode such low offsets that do not need to be in 64-bit but are encoded using 64-bit just like the original idx file so that we can still validate the pack/idx pair by comparing the idx file recomputed with the original.

2011-02-27index-pack: --verifyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+16
Given an existing .pack file and the .idx file that describes it, this new mode of operation reads and re-index the packfile and makes sure the existing .idx file matches the result byte-for-byte. All the objects in the .pack file are validated during this operation as well. Unlike verify-pack, which visits each object described in the .idx file in the SHA-1 order, index-pack efficiently exploits the delta-chain to avoid rebuilding the objects that are used as the base of deltified objects over and over again while validating the objects, resulting in much quicker verification of the .pack file and its .idx file. This version however cannot verify a .pack/.idx pair with a handcrafted v2 index that uses 64-bit offset representation for offsets that would fit within 31-bit. You can create such an .idx file by giving a custom offset to --index-version option to the command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Commit 1b22b6c897 made duplicated versions of encode_header() into a common version called encode_in_pack_object_header(). There is however a better location that sha1_file.c for such a function though, as sha1_file.c contains nothing related to the creation of packs, and it is quite populated already. Also the comment that was moved to the header file should really remain near the function as it covers implementation details and provides no information about the actual function interface.

* jc/maint-1.6.0-pack-directory: Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new pack
2009-02-25Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new packLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+2
In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create "pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is not created upon initialization. It was Ok because subdirectories are created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then, packfiles were recent invention. After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of objects/pack/ directory in the repository. This was exacerbated with 8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation. Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail mysteriously because of this. This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better. - odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the code and teach it to create leading directories as needed; - odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while create leading directories as needed.

2008-10-02fix openssl headers conflicting with custom SHA1 implementationsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-15/+15

Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the same reason. Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the conflicting local SHA1 header file. As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those according to the implementation used.

2008-08-27index-pack: be careful after fixing up the header/footerLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
The index-pack command, when processing a thin pack, fixed up the pack after-the-fact. It forgets to fsync the result, because it only did that in one path rather in all cases of fixup. This moves the fsync_or_die() to the fix-up routine itself, rather than doing it in one of the callers, so that all cases are covered.

2007-10-17fix const issues with some functionsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+2
Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of, and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const pointers. Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first argument is returned since that argument is also marked const. The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers, avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

2007-09-19Refactor index-pack "keep $sha1" handling for reuseLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+26
There is a subtle (but important) linkage between receive-pack and index-pack that allows index-pack to create a packfile but protect it from being deleted by a concurrent `git repack -a -d` operation. The linkage works by having index-pack mark the newly created pack with a ".keep" file and then it passes the SHA-1 name of that new packfile to receive-pack along its stdout channel. The receive-pack process must unkeep the packfile by deleting the .keep file, but can it can only do so after all elgible refs have been updated in the receiving repository. This ensures that the packfile is either kept or its objects are reachable, preventing a concurrent repacker from deleting the packfile before it can determine that its objects are actually needed by the repository. The new builtin-fetch code needs to perform the same actions if it choose to run index-pack rather than unpack-objects, so I am moving this code out to its own function where both receive-pack and fetch-pack are able to invoke it when necessary. The caller is responsible for deleting the returned ".keep" and freeing the path if the returned path is not NULL. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
