Code cleanup.
* rs/pack-sort-with-llist-mergesort:
sha1_file: use llist_mergesort() for sorting packs
|
|
Recently we updated the code to manage the in-core cache that holds
objects that have recently been used to reconstitute other objects
that are stored as deltas against them, but the update used an
incorrect API function to manage the list of these objects. This
has been fixed.
* jk/delta-base-cache:
add_delta_base_cache: use list_for_each_safe
|
|
Sort the linked list of packs directly using llist_mergesort() instead
of building an array, calling qsort(3) and fixing up the list pointers.
This is shorter and less complicated.

We may remove elements from the list while we are iterating,
which requires using a second temporary pointer. Otherwise
stepping to the next element of the list might involve
looking at freed memory (which generally works in practice,
as we _just_ freed it, but of course is wrong to rely on;
valgrind notices it).

"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
$path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding
repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.

Similar to is_null_oid(), and is_empty_blob_sha1() add an
empty_tree_oid along with helper function is_empty_tree_oid(). For
completeness, also add an "is_empty_tree_sha1()",
"is_empty_blob_sha1()", "is_empty_tree_oid()" and "is_empty_blob_oid()"
helpers.
To ensure we only get one singleton, implement EMPTY_BLOB_SHA1_BIN as
simply getting the hash of empty_blob_oid structure.

The fundamental data structure of the delta base cache is a
hash table mapping pairs of "(packfile, offset)" into
structs containing the actual object data. The hash table
implementation dates back to e5e0161 (Implement a simple
delta_base cache, 2007-03-17), and uses a fixed-size table.
The current size is a hard-coded 256 entries.
Because we need to be able to remove objects from the hash
table, entry lookup does not do any kind of probing to
handle collisions. Colliding items simply replace whatever
is in their slot. As a result, we have fewer usable slots
than even the 256 we allocate. At half full, each new item
has a 50% chance of displacing another one. Or another way
to think about it: every item has a 1/256 chance of being
ejected due to hash collision, without regard to our LRU
strategy.
So it would be interesting to see the effect of increasing
the cache size on the runtime for some common operations. As
with the previous patch, we'll measure "git log --raw" for
tree-only operations, and "git log -Sfoo --raw" for
operations that touch trees and blobs. All times are
wall-clock best-of-3, done against fully packed repos with
--depth=50, and the default core.deltaBaseCacheLimit of
96MB.
Here are timings for various values of MAX_DELTA_CACHE
against git.git (the asterisk marks the minimum time for
each operation):
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S

32768 0m02.202s 0m06.622s
65536 0m02.230s 0m06.677s
The log-raw case isn't changed much at all here (probably
because our trees just aren't that big in the first place,
or possibly because we have so _few_ trees in git.git that
the 256-entry cache is enough). But once we start putting
blobs in the cache, too, we see a big improvement (almost
50%). The curve levels off around 4096, which means that we
can hold about that many entries before hitting the 96MB
memory limit (or possibly that the workload is small enough
that there is simply no more work to be optimized out by
caching more).
(As a side note, I initially timed my existing git.git pack,
which was a base of --aggressive combined with some pulls on
top. So it had quite a few deeper delta chains. The
256-cache case was more like 15s, and it still dropped to
~6.5s in the same way).
Here are the timings for linux.git:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m41.661s 5m12.410s
512 0m39.547s 5m07.920s
1024 0m37.054s 4m54.666s
2048 0m35.871s 4m41.194s*
4096 0m34.646s 4m51.648s
8192 0m33.881s 4m55.342s
16384 0m35.190s 5m00.122s
32768 0m35.060s 4m58.851s
65536 0m33.311s* 4m51.420s
As we grow we see a nice 20% speedup in the tree traversal,
and more modest 10% in the log-S. This is probably an
indication that we are bound less by the number of entries,
and more by the memory limit (more on that below). What is
interesting is that the numbers bounce around a bit;
increasing the number of entries isn't always a strict
improvement.
Partially this is due to noise in the measurement. But it
may also be an indication that our LRU ejection scheme is
not optimal. The smaller cache sizes introduce some
randomness into the ejection (due to collisions), which may
sometimes work in our favor (and sometimes not!).
So what is the optimal setting of MAX_DELTA_CACHE? The
"bouncing" in the linux.git log-S numbers notwithstanding,
it mostly seems like bigger is better. And even if we were
to try to find a "sweet spot", these are just two
repositories, that are not necessarily representative. The
shape of history, the size of trees and blobs, the memory
limit configuration, etc, all will affect the outcome.
Rather than trying to find the "right" number, another
strategy is to just switch to a hash table that can actually
store collisions: namely our hashmap.h implementation.
Here are numbers for that compared to the "best" we saw from
adjusting MAX_DELTA_CACHE:
| log-raw | log-S
| best hashmap | best hashmap
| --------- --------- | --------- ---------
git | 0m02.144s 0m02.144s | 0m06.448s 0m06.688s
linux | 0m33.311s 0m33.092s | 4m41.194s 4m57.172s
We can see the results are similar in most cases, which is
what we'd expect. We're not ejecting due to collisions at
all, so this is purely representing the LRU. So really, we'd
expect this to model most closely the larger values of the
static MAX_DELTA_CACHE limit. And that does seem to be
what's happening, including the "bounce" in the linux log-S
case.
So while the value for that case _isn't_ as good as the
optimal one measured above (which was 2048 entries), given
the bouncing I'm hesitant to suggest that 2048 is any kind
of optimum (not even for linux.git, let alone as a general
rule). The generic hashmap has the appeal that it drops the
number of tweakable numbers by one, which means we can focus
on tuning other elements, like the LRU strategy or the
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit setting.
And indeed, if we bump the cache limit to 1G (which is
probably silly for general use, but maybe something people
with big workstations would want to do), the linux.git log-S
time drops to 3m32s. That's something you really _can't_ do
easily with the static hash table, because the number of
entries needs to grow in proportion to the memory limit (so
2048 is almost certainly not going to be the right value
there).
This patch takes that direction, and drops the static hash
table entirely in favor of using the hashmap.h API.

When the delta base cache runs out of allowed memory, it has
to drop entries. It does so by walking an LRU list, dropping
objects until we are under the memory limit. But we actually
walk the list twice: once to drop blobs, and then again to
drop other objects (which are generally trees). This comes
from 18bdec1 (Limit the size of the new delta_base_cache,
2007-03-19).
This performs poorly as the number of entries grows, because
any time dropping blobs does not satisfy the limit, we have
to walk the _entire_ list, trees included, looking for blobs
to drop, before starting to drop any trees.
It's not generally a problem now, as the cache is limited to
only 256 entries. But as we could benefit from increasing
that in a future patch, it's worth looking at how it
performs as the cache size grows. And the answer is "not
well".
The table below shows times for various operations with
different values of MAX_DELTA_CACHE (which is not a run-time
knob; I recompiled with -DMAX_DELTA_CACHE=$n for each).
I chose "git log --raw" ("log-raw" in the table) because it
will access all of the trees, but no blobs at all (so in a
sense it is a worst case for this problem, because we will
always walk over the entire list of trees once before
realizing there are no blobs to drop). This is also
representative of other tree-only operations like "rev-list
--objects" and "git log -- <path>".
I also timed "git log -Sfoo --raw" ("log-S" in the table).
It similarly accesses all of the trees, but also the blobs
for each commit. It's representative of "git log -p", though
it emphasizes the cost of blob access more, as "-S" is
cheaper than computing an actual blob diff.
All timings are best-of-3 wall-clock times (though they all
were CPU bound, so the user CPU times are similar). The
repositories were fully packed with --depth=50, and the
default core.deltaBaseCacheLimit of 96M was in effect. The
current value of MAX_DELTA_CACHE is 256, so I started there
and worked up by factors of 2.
First, here are values for git.git (the asterisk signals the
fastest run for each operation):
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m02.212s 0m12.634s
512 0m02.136s* 0m10.614s
1024 0m02.156s 0m08.614s
2048 0m02.208s 0m07.062s
4096 0m02.190s 0m06.484s*
8192 0m02.176s 0m07.635s
16384 0m02.913s 0m19.845s
32768 0m03.617s 1m05.507s
65536 0m04.031s 1m18.488s
You can see that for the tree-only log-raw case, we don't
actually benefit that much as the cache grows (all the
differences up through 8192 are basically just noise; this
is probably because we don't actually have that many
distinct trees in git.git). But for log-S, we get a definite
speed improvement as the cache grows, but the improvements
are lost as cache size grows and the linear LRU management
starts to dominate.
Here's the same thing run against linux.git:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ----------
256 0m40.987s 5m13.216s
512 0m37.949s 5m03.243s
1024 0m35.977s 4m50.580s
2048 0m33.855s 4m39.818s
4096 0m32.913s 4m47.299s*
8192 0m32.176s* 5m14.650s
16384 0m32.185s 6m31.625s
32768 0m38.056s 9m31.136s
65536 1m30.518s 17m38.549s
The pattern is similar, though the effect in log-raw is more
pronounced here. The times dip down in the middle, and then
go back up as we keep growing.
So we know there's a problem. What's the solution?
The obvious one is to improve the data structure to avoid
walking over tree entries during the looking-for-blobs
traversal. We can do this by keeping _two_ LRU lists: one
for blobs, and one for other objects. We drop items from the
blob LRU first, and then from the tree LRU (if necessary).
Here's git.git using that strategy:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ----------
256 0m02.264s 0m12.830s
512 0m02.201s 0m10.771s
1024 0m02.181s 0m08.593s
2048 0m02.205s 0m07.116s
4096 0m02.158s 0m06.537s*
8192 0m02.213s 0m07.246s
16384 0m02.155s* 0m10.975s
32768 0m02.159s 0m16.047s
65536 0m02.181s 0m16.992s
The upswing on log-raw is gone completely. But log-S still
has it (albeit much better than without this strategy).
Let's see what linux.git shows:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m42.519s 5m14.654s
512 0m39.106s 5m04.708s
1024 0m36.802s 4m51.454s
2048 0m34.685s 4m39.378s*
4096 0m33.663s 4m44.047s
8192 0m33.157s 4m50.644s
16384 0m33.090s* 4m49.648s
32768 0m33.458s 4m53.371s
65536 0m33.563s 5m04.580s
The results are similar. The tree-only case again performs
well (not surprising; we're literally just dropping the one
useless walk, and not otherwise changing the cache eviction
strategy at all). But the log-S case again does a bit worse
as the cache grows (though possibly that's within the noise,
which is much larger for this case).
Perhaps this is an indication that the "remove blobs first"
strategy is not actually optimal. The intent of it is to
avoid blowing out the tree cache when we see large blobs,
but it also means we'll throw away useful, recent blobs in
favor of older trees.
Let's run the same numbers without caring about object type
at all (i.e., one LRU list, and always evicting whatever is
at the head, regardless of type).
Here's git.git:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m02.227s 0m12.821s
512 0m02.143s 0m10.602s
1024 0m02.127s 0m08.642s
2048 0m02.148s 0m07.123s
4096 0m02.194s 0m06.448s*
8192 0m02.239s 0m06.504s
16384 0m02.144s* 0m06.502s
32768 0m02.202s 0m06.622s
65536 0m02.230s 0m06.677s
Much smoother; there's no dramatic upswing as we increase
the cache size (some remains, though it's small enough that
it's mostly run-to-run noise. E.g., in the log-raw case,
note how 8192 is 50-100ms higher than its neighbors). Note
also that we stop getting any real benefit for log-S after
about 4096 entries; that number will depend on the size of
the repository, the size of the blob entries, and the memory
limit of the cache.
Let's see what linux.git shows for the same strategy:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m41.661s 5m12.410s
512 0m39.547s 5m07.920s
1024 0m37.054s 4m54.666s
2048 0m35.871s 4m41.194s*
4096 0m34.646s 4m51.648s
8192 0m33.881s 4m55.342s
16384 0m35.190s 5m00.122s
32768 0m35.060s 4m58.851s
65536 0m33.311s* 4m51.420s
It's similarly good. As with the "separate blob LRU"
strategy, there's a lot of noise on the log-S run here. But
it's certainly not any worse, is possibly a bit better, and
the improvement over "separate blob LRU" on the git.git case
is dramatic.
So it seems like a clear winner, and that's what this patch
implements.

We keep an LRU list of entries for when we need to drop
something from an over-full cache. The list is implemented
as a circular doubly-linked list, which is exactly what
list.h provides. We can save a few lines by using the list.h
macros and functions. More importantly, this makes the code
easier to follow, as the reader sees explicit concepts like
"list_add_tail()" instead of pointer manipulation.
As a bonus, the list_entry() macro lets us place the lru
pointers anywhere inside the delta_base_cache_entry struct
(as opposed to just casting the pointer, which requires it
at the front of the struct). This will be useful in later
patches when we need to place other items at the front of
the struct (e.g., our hashmap implementation requires this).

This function drops an entry entirely from the cache,
meaning that aside from the freeing of the buffer, it is
exactly equivalent to detach_delta_base_cache_entry(). Let's

and will make it simpler when we change out the underlying
storage in future patches.

The delta base cache entries are stored in a fixed-length
hash table. So the way to remove an entry is to "clear" the
slot in the table, and that is what this function does.
However, the name is a leaky abstraction. If we were to
change the hash table implementation, it would no longer be
about "clearing". We should name it after _what_ it does,
not _how_ it does it. I.e., something like "remove" instead
of "clear".
But that does not tell the whole story, either. The subtle
thing about this function is that it removes the entry, but
does not free the entry data. So a more descriptive name is
"detach"; we give ownership of the data buffer to the
caller, and remove any other resources.
This patch uses the name detach_delta_base_cache_entry().
We could further model this after functions like
strbuf_detach(), which pass back all of the detached
information. However, since there are so many bits of
information in the struct (the data, the size, the type),
and so few callers (only one), it's not worth that
awkwardness. The name change and a comment can make the
intent clear.

There is only one caller of cache_or_unpack_entry() and it
always passes 1 for the keep_cache parameter. We can
simplify it by dropping the "!keep_cache" case.
Another call, which did pass 0, was dropped in abe601b
(sha1_file: remove recursion in unpack_entry, 2013-03-27),
as unpack_entry() now does more complicated things than a
simple unpack when there is a cache miss.

Each pack has an index for looking up entries in O(log n)
time, but if we have multiple packs, we have to scan through
them linearly. This can produce a measurable overhead for
some operations.
We dealt with this long ago in f7c22cc (always start looking
up objects in the last used pack first, 2007-05-30), which
keeps what is essentially a 1-element most-recently-used
cache. In theory, we should be able to do better by keeping
a similar but longer cache, that is the same length as the
pack-list itself.
Since we now have a convenient generic MRU structure, we can
plug it in and measure. Here are the numbers for running
p5303 against linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 31.56(31.28+0.27) 31.30(31.08+0.20) -0.8%

The main numbers of interest here are the rev-list ones
(since that is exercising the normal object lookup code
path). The single-pack case shouldn't improve at all; the
260ms speedup there is just part of the run-to-run noise
(but it's important to note that we didn't make anything
worse with the overhead of maintaining our cache). In the
50-pack case, we see similar results. There may be a slight
improvement, but it's mostly within the noise.
The 1000-pack case does show a big improvement, though. That
carries over to the repack case, as well. Even though we
haven't touched its pack-search loop yet, it does still do a
lot of normal object lookups (e.g., for the internal
revision walk), and so improves.
As a point of reference, I also ran the 1000-pack test
against a version of HEAD^ with the last_found_pack
optimization disabled. It takes ~60s, so that gives an
indication of how much even the single-element cache is
helping.
For comparison, here's a smaller repository, git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 1.56(1.54+0.01) 1.54(1.51+0.02) -1.3%
5303.4: repack (1) 1.84(1.80+0.10) 1.82(1.80+0.09) -1.1%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 1.58(1.55+0.02) 1.59(1.57+0.01) +0.6%
5303.7: repack (50) 2.50(3.18+0.04) 2.50(3.14+0.04) +0.0%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 2.76(2.71+0.04) 2.24(2.21+0.02) -18.8%
5303.10: repack (1000) 13.21(19.56+0.25) 11.66(18.01+0.21) -11.7%
You can see that the percentage improvement is similar.
That's because the lookup we are optimizing is roughly
O(nr_objects * nr_packs). Since the number of packs is
constant in both tests, we'd expect the improvement to be
linear in the number of objects. But the whole process is
also linear in the number of objects, so the improvement
is a constant factor.
The exact improvement does also depend on the contents of
the packs. In p5303, the extra packs all have 5 first-parent
commits in them, which is a reasonable simulation of a
pushed-to repository. But it also means that only 250
first-parent commits are in those packs (compared to almost
50,000 total in linux.git), and the rest are in the huge
"base" pack. So once we start looking at history in taht big
pack, that's where we'll find most everything, and even the
1-element cache gets close to 100% cache hits. You could
almost certainly show better numbers with a more
pathological case (e.g., distributing the objects more
evenly across the packs). But that's simply not that
realistic a scenario, so it makes more sense to focus on
these numbers.
The implementation itself is a straightforward application
of the MRU code. We provide an MRU-ordered list of packs
that shadows the packed_git list. This is easy to do because
we only create and revise the pack list in one place. The
"reprepare" code path actually drops the whole MRU and
replaces it for simplicity. It would be more efficient to
just add new entries, but there's not much point in
optimizing here; repreparing happens rarely, and only after
doing a lot of other expensive work. The key things to keep
optimized are traversal (which is just a normal linked list,
albeit with one extra level of indirection over the regular
packed_git list), and marking (which is a constant number of
pointer assignments, though slightly more than the old
last_found_pack was; it doesn't seem to create a measurable
slowdown, though).

The point of this function is to drop an entry from the
"packed_git" cache that points to a file we might be
overwriting, because our contents may not be the same (and
hence the only caller was pack-objects as it moved a
temporary packfile into place).
In older versions of git, this could happen because the
names of packfiles were derived from the set of objects they
contained, not the actual bits on disk. But since 1190a1a
(pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), the name reflects the actual bits on disk, and
any two packfiles with the same name can be used
interchangeably.
Dropping this function not only saves a few lines of code,
it makes the lifetime of "struct packed_git" much easier to
reason about: namely, we now do not ever free these structs.

On 32 bit systems with large file support, unsigned long is 32-bit
while the two offsets in the subtraction expression (pack-objects has
the exact same expression as in sha1_file.c but not shown in diff) are
in 64-bit. If an in-pack object is larger than 2^32 len/datalen is
truncated and we get a misleading "error: bad packed object CRC for
..." as a result.
Use off_t for len and datalen. check_pack_crc() already accepts this
argument as off_t and can deal with 4+ GB.

A v2 pack index file can specify an offset within a packfile
of up to 2^64-1 bytes. On a system with a signed 64-bit
off_t, we can represent only up to 2^63-1. This means that a
corrupted .idx file can end up with a negative offset in the
pack code. Our bounds-checking use_pack function looks for
too-large offsets, but not for ones that have wrapped around
to negative. Let's do so, which fixes an out-of-bounds
access demonstrated in t5313.

If a pack .idx file has a corrupted offset for an object, we
may try to access an offset in the .idx or .pack file that
is larger than the file's size. For the .pack case, we have
use_pack() to protect us, which realizes the access is out
of bounds. But if the corrupted value asks us to look in the
.idx file's secondary 64-bit offset table, we blindly add it
to the mmap'd index data and access arbitrary memory.
We can fix this with a simple bounds-check compared to the
size we found when we opened the .idx file.
Note that there's similar code in index-pack that is
triggered only during "index-pack --verify". To support
both, we pull the bounds-check into a separate function,
which dies when it sees a corrupted file.
It would be nice if we could return an error, so that the
pack code could try to find a good copy of the object
elsewhere. Currently nth_packed_object_offset doesn't have
any way to return an error, but it could probably use "0" as
a sentinel value (since no object can start there). This is
the minimal fix, and we can improve the resilience later on
top.

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

When we are allocating a struct with a FLEX_ARRAY member, we
generally compute the size of the array and then sprintf or
strcpy into it. Normally we could improve a dynamic allocation
like this by using xstrfmt, but it doesn't work here; we
have to account for the size of the rest of the struct.
But we can improve things a bit by storing the length that
we use for the allocation, and then feeding it to xsnprintf
or memcpy, which makes it more obvious that we are not
writing more than the allocated number of bytes.
It would be nice if we had some kind of helper for
allocating generic flex arrays, but it doesn't work that
well:
- the call signature is a little bit unwieldy:
d = flex_struct(sizeof(*d), offsetof(d, path), fmt, ...);
You need offsetof here instead of just writing to the
end of the base size, because we don't know how the
struct is packed (partially this is because FLEX_ARRAY
might not be zero, though we can account for that; but
the size of the struct may actually be rounded up for
alignment, and we can't know that).
- some sites do clever things, like over-allocating because
they know they will write larger things into the buffer
later (e.g., struct packed_git here).
So we're better off to just write out each allocation (or
add type-specific helpers, though many of these are one-off
allocations anyway).

When creating a loose object tempfile, we use a fixed
PATH_MAX-sized buffer, and strcpy directly into it. This
isn't buggy, because we do a rough check of the size, but
there's no verification that our guesstimate of the required
space is enough (in fact, it's several bytes too big for the
current naming scheme).
Let's switch to a strbuf, which makes this much easier to
verify. The allocation overhead should be negligible, since
we are replacing a static buffer with a static strbuf, and
we'll only need to allocate on the first call.
While we're here, we can also document a subtle interaction
with mkstemp that would be easy to overlook.

We do some manual memory computation here, and there's no
check that our 60 is not overflowed by the raw sprintf (it
isn't, because the "which" parameter is never longer than
"pack"). We can simplify this greatly with a strbuf.
Technically the end result is not identical, as the original
took care not to rewrite the object directory on each call
for performance reasons. We could do that here, too (by
saving the baselen and resetting to it), but it's not worth
the complexity; this function is not called a lot (generally
once per packfile that we open).

When we want to convert "foo.pack" to "foo.idx", we do it by
duplicating the original string and then munging the bytes
in place. Let's use strip_suffix and xstrfmt instead, which
has several advantages:
1. It's more clear what the intent is.
2. It does not implicitly rely on the fact that
strlen(".idx") <= strlen(".pack") to avoid an overflow.
3. We communicate the assumption that the input file ends
with ".pack" (and get a run-time check that this is so).
4. We drop calls to strcpy, which makes auditing the code
base easier.
Likewise, we can do this to convert ".pack" to ".bitmap",
avoiding some manual memory computation.
