Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started
rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
optimized again for most trivial cases.
* mh/avoid-rewriting-packed-refs:
files-backend: don't rewrite the `packed-refs` file unnecessarily
t1409: check that `packed-refs` is not rewritten unnecessarily
|
|
Even when we are deleting references, we needn't overwrite the
`packed-refs` file if the references that we are deleting only exist
as loose references. Implement this optimization as follows:
* Add a function `is_packed_transaction_needed()`, which checks
whether a given packed-refs transaction actually needs to be carried
out (i.e., it returns false if the transaction obviously wouldn't
have any effect). This function must be called while holding the
`packed-refs` lock to avoid races.
* Change `files_transaction_prepare()` to check whether the
packed-refs transaction is actually needed. If not, squelch it, but
continue holding the `packed-refs` lock until the end of the
transaction to avoid races.
This fixes a mild regression caused by dc39e09942 (files_ref_store:
use a transaction to update packed refs, 2017-09-08). Before that
commit, unnecessary rewrites of `packed-refs` were suppressed by
`repack_without_refs()`. But the transaction-based writing introduced
by that commit didn't perform that optimization.
Note that the pre-dc39e09942 code still had to *read* the whole
`packed-refs` file to determine that the rewrite could be skipped, so
the performance for the cases that the write could be elided was
`O(N)` in the number of packed references both before and after
dc39e09942. But after that commit the constant factor increased.
This commit reimplements the optimization of eliding unnecessary
`packed-refs` rewrites. That, plus the fact that since
cfa2e29c34 (packed_ref_store: get rid of the `ref_cache` entirely,
2017-03-17) we don't necessarily have to read the whole `packed-refs`
file at all, means that deletes of one or a few loose references can
now be done with `O(n lg N)` effort, where `n` is the number of loose
references being deleted and `N` is the total number of packed
references.
This commit fixes two tests in t1409.

Operations that do not touch (majority of) packed refs have been
optimized by making accesses to packed-refs file lazy; we no longer
pre-parse everything, and an access to a single ref in the
packed-refs does not touch majority of irrelevant refs, either.

Since `packed_ref_iterator` is now delegating to
`mmapped_ref_iterator` rather than `cache_ref_iterator` to do the
heavy lifting, there is no need to keep the two iterators separate. So
"inline" `mmapped_ref_iterator` into `packed_ref_iterator`. This

Now that everything has been changed to read what it needs directly
out of the `packed-refs` file, `packed_ref_store` doesn't need to
maintain a `ref_cache` at all. So get rid of it.
First of all, this will save a lot of memory and lots of little
allocations. Instead of needing to store complicated parsed data
structures in memory, we just mmap the file (potentially sharing
memory with other processes) and parse only what we need.
Moreover, since the mmapped access to the file reads only the parts of
the file that it needs, this might save reading all of the data from
disk at all (at least if the file starts out sorted).

We're about to stop storing packed refs in a `ref_cache`. That means
that the only way we have left to optimize `peel_ref()` is by checking
whether the reference being peeled is the one currently being iterated
over (in `current_ref_iter`), and if so, using `ref_iterator_peel()`.
But this can be done generically; it doesn't have to be implemented
per-backend.
So implement `refs_peel_ref()` in `refs.c` and remove the `peel_ref()`
method from the refs API.
This removes the last callers of a couple of functions, so delete
them. More cleanup to come...

Now that we have an efficient way to iterate, in order, over the
mmapped contents of the `packed-refs` file, we can use that directly
to implement reference iteration for the `packed_ref_store`, rather
than iterating over the `ref_cache`. This is the next step towards
getting rid of the `ref_cache` entirely.

It doesn't actually matter now, because the references are only
iterated over to fill the associated `ref_cache`, which itself puts
them in the correct order. But we want to get rid of the `ref_cache`,
so we want to be able to iterate directly over the `packed-refs`
buffer, and then the iteration will need to be ordered correctly.
In fact, we already write the `packed-refs` file sorted, but it is
possible that other Git clients don't get it right. So let's not
assume that a `packed-refs` file is sorted unless it is explicitly
declared to be so via a `sorted` trait in its header line.
If it is *not* declared to be sorted, then scan quickly through the
file to check. If it is found to be out of order, then sort the
records into a new memory-only copy. This checking and sorting is done
quickly, without parsing the full file contents. However, it needs a
little bit of care to avoid reading past the end of the buffer even if
the `packed-refs` file is corrupt.
Since *we* always write the file correctly sorted, include that trait
when we write or rewrite a `packed-refs` file. This means that the
scan described in the previous paragraph should only have to be done
for `packed-refs` files that were written by older versions of the Git
command-line client, or by other clients that haven't yet learned to
write the `sorted` trait.
If `packed-refs` was already sorted, then (if the system allows it) we
can use the mmapped file contents directly. But if the system doesn't
allow a file that is currently mmapped to be replaced using
`rename()`, then it would be bad for us to keep the file mmapped for
any longer than necessary. So, on such systems, always make a copy of
the file contents, either as part of the sorting process, or
afterwards.

Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long
as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use:
* If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped.
* If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all,
or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via
`rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in
heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead.
We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch,
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows
variants.
After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled
identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference.
This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the
`packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the
`packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

Add a new `mmapped_ref_iterator`, which can iterate over the
references in an mmapped `packed-refs` file directly. Use this
iterator from `read_packed_refs()` to fill the packed refs cache.
Note that we are not yet willing to promise that the new iterator
generates its output in order. That doesn't matter for now, because
the packed refs cache doesn't care what order it is filled.
This change adds a lot of boilerplate without providing any obvious
benefits. The benefits will come soon, when we get rid of the
`ref_cache` for packed references altogether.

Instead of copying data from the `packed-refs` file one line at time
and then processing it, process the data in place as much as possible.
Also, instead of processing one line per iteration of the main loop,
process a reference line plus its corresponding peeled line (if
present) together.
Note that this change slightly tightens up the parsing of the
`packed-refs` file. Previously, the parser would have accepted
multiple "peeled" lines for a single reference (ignoring all but the
last one). Now it would reject that.

The old code parsed the traits in the `packed-refs` header by looking
for the string " trait " (i.e., the name of the trait with a space on
either side) in the header line. This is fragile, because if any other
implementation of Git forgets to write the trailing space, the last
trait would silently be ignored (and the error might never be
noticed).
So instead, use `string_list_split_in_place()` to split the traits
into tokens then use `unsorted_string_list_has_string()` to look for
the tokens we are interested in. This means that we can read the
traits correctly even if the header line is missing a trailing
space (or indeed, if it is missing the space after the colon, or if it
has multiple spaces somewhere).
However, older Git clients (and perhaps other Git implementations)
still require the surrounding spaces, so we still have to output the
header with a trailing space.

These functions accept the problematic line as a `(ptr, len)` pair

The old code incremented the packed ref cache reference count when
acquiring the packed-refs lock, and decremented the count when
releasing the lock. This is unnecessary because:
* Another process cannot change the packed-refs file because it is
locked.
* When we ourselves change the packed-refs file, we do so by first
modifying the packed ref-cache, and then writing the data from the
ref-cache to disk. So the packed ref-cache remains fresh because any
changes that we plan to make to the file are made in the cache first
anyway.
So there is no reason for the cache to become stale.
Moreover, the extra reference count causes a problem if we
intentionally clear the packed refs cache, as we sometimes need to do
if we change the cache in anticipation of writing a change to disk,
but then the write to disk fails. In that case, `packed_refs_unlock()`
would have no easy way to find the cache whose reference count it
needs to decrement.
This whole issue will soon become moot due to upcoming changes that
avoid changing the in-memory cache as part of updating the packed-refs
on disk, but this change makes that transition easier.

The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up
ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted.
That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this:
struct tempfile t;
create_tempfile(&t, ...);
...
if (!err)
rename_tempfile(&t, ...);
else
delete_tempfile(&t);
But doing it this way has a high potential for creating
memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile()
ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to
go out of scope until we've called one of those two
deactivation functions.
Imagine that we add an early return from the function that
forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap
tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs
around until the program exits (and some functions like
setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating
a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup).
But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory
error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with
garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's
see if we can make it harder to get this wrong.
Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of
tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general
solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask
all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the
burden on them to call free() at the right time.
Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap
allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is
deactivated and removed from the list).
This changes the return value of all of the creation
functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename),
we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a
tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it
to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to
double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second
call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites
follow this pattern.
The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each
caller needs to be converted to handle:
1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself.
2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct
address.
3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file
descriptor.
We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by
defining the tempfile like this:
struct tempfile {
struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile {
int fd;
...etc
} *actual_data;
}
Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it
would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL.
But that just makes things more awkward in the long run.
There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite
the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it
easy for us to find them all.

Since the lockfile code is based on the tempfile code, it
has some of the same problems, including that close_lock_file()
erases the tempfile's filename buf, making it hard for the
caller to write a good error message.
In practice this comes up less for lockfiles than for
straight tempfiles, since we usually just report the
refname. But there is at least one buggy case in
write_ref_to_lockfile(). Besides, given the coupling between
the lockfile and tempfile modules, it's less confusing if
their close() functions have the same semantics.
Just as the previous commit did for close_tempfile(), let's
teach close_lock_file() and its wrapper close_ref() not to
rollback on error. And just as before, we'll give them new
"gently" names to catch any new callers that are added.

One of the tricks that `contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir` plays is to
making `packed-refs` in the new workdir a symlink to the `packed-refs`
file in the original repository. Before
42dfa7ecef ("commit_packed_refs(): use a staging file separate from
the lockfile", 2017-06-23), a lockfile was used as the staging file,
and because the `LOCK_NO_DEREF` was not used, the pointed-to file was
locked and modified.
But after that commit, the staging file was created using a tempfile,
with the end result that rewriting the `packed-refs` file in the
workdir overwrote the symlink rather than the original `packed-refs`
file.
Change `commit_packed_refs()` to use `get_locked_file_path()` to find
the path of the file that it should overwrite. Since that path was
properly resolved when the lockfile was created, this restores the
pre-42dfa7ecef behavior.
Also add a test case to document this use case and prevent a
regression like this from recurring.

We will want to be able to hold the lockfile for `packed-refs` even
after we have activated the new values. So use a separate tempfile,
`packed-refs.new`, as a place to stage the new contents of the
`packed-refs` file. For now this is all done within
`commit_packed_refs()`, but that will change shortly.

Report errors via a `struct strbuf *err` rather than by calling
`die()`. To enable this goal, change `write_packed_entry()` to report
errors via a return value and `errno` rather than dying.

Add the infrastructure to make `packed_ref_store` implement
`ref_store`, at least formally (few of the methods are actually
implemented yet). Change the functions in its interface to take
`ref_store *` arguments. Change `files_ref_store` to store a pointer
to `ref_store *` and to call functions via the virtual `ref_store`
interface where possible. This also means that a few
`packed_ref_store` functions can become static.
This is a work in progress. Some more `ref_store` methods will soon be
implemented (e.g., those having to do with reference transactions).
But some of them will never be implemented (e.g., those having to do
with symrefs or reflogs).

Now that the interface between `files_ref_store` and
`packed_ref_store` is relatively narrow, move the latter into a new
module, "refs/packed-backend.h" and "refs/packed-backend.c". It still
doesn't quite implement the `ref_store` interface, but it will soon.
This commit moves code around and adjusts its visibility, but doesn't
change anything.
