Since 33d4221 (write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects,
2014-10-15), we update the mtime of existing objects that we
would have written out (had they not existed). For the
common case in which many objects are packed, we may update
the mtime on a single packfile repeatedly. This can result
in a noticeable performance problem if calling utime() is
expensive (e.g., because your storage is on NFS).
We can fix this by keeping a per-pack flag that lets us
freshen only once per program invocation.
An alternative would be to keep the packed_git.mtime flag up
to date as we freshen, and freshen only once every N
seconds. In practice, it's not worth the complexity. We are
racing against prune expiration times here, which inherently
must be set to accomodate reasonable program running times
(because they really care about the time between an object
being written and it becoming referenced, and the latter is
typically the last step a program takes).

When writing out an object file, we first check whether it
already exists and if so optimize out the write. Prior to
33d4221, we did this by calling has_sha1_file(), which will
check for packed objects followed by loose. Since that
commit, we check loose objects first.
For the common case of a repository whose objects are mostly
packed, this means we will make a lot of extra access()
system calls checking for loose objects. We should follow
the same packed-then-loose order that all of our other
lookups use.

When pruning and repacking a repository that has an
alternate object store configured, we may traverse a large
number of objects in the alternate. This serves no purpose,
and may be expensive to do. A longer explanation is below.
Commits d3038d2 and abcb865 taught prune and pack-objects
(respectively) to treat "recent" objects as tips for
reachability, so that we keep whole chunks of history. They
built on the object traversal in 660c889 (sha1_file: add
for_each iterators for loose and packed objects,
2014-10-15), which covers both local and alternate objects.
In both cases, covering alternate objects is unnecessary, as
both commands can only drop objects from the local
repository. In the case of prune, we traverse only the local
object directory. And in the case of repacking, while we may
or may not include local objects in our pack, we will never
reach into the alternate with "repack -d". The "-l" option
is only a question of whether we are migrating objects from
the alternate into our repository, or leaving them
untouched.
It is possible that we may drop an object that is depended
upon by another object in the alternate. For example,
imagine two repositories, A and B, with A pointing to B as
an alternate. Now imagine a commit that is in B which
references a tree that is only in A. Traversing from recent
objects in B might prevent A from dropping that tree. But
this case isn't worth covering. Repo B should take
responsibility for its own objects. It would never have had
the commit in the first place if it did not also have the
tree, and assuming it is using the same "keep recent chunks
of history" scheme, then it would itself keep the tree, as
well.
So checking the alternate objects is not worth doing, and
come with a significant performance impact. In both cases,
we skip any recent objects that have already been marked
SEEN (i.e., that we know are already reachable for prune, or
included in the pack for a repack). So there is a slight
waste of time in opening the alternate packs at all, only to
notice that we have already considered each object. But much
worse, the alternate repository may have a large number of
objects that are not reachable from the local repository at
all, and we end up adding them to the traversal.
We can fix this by considering only local unseen objects.

Once we know the number of objects in the input pack, we allocate an
array of nr_objects of struct delta_entry. On x86-64, this struct is
32 bytes long. The union delta_base, which is part of struct
delta_entry, provides enough space to store either ofs-delta (8 bytes)
or ref-delta (20 bytes).
Because ofs-delta encoding is more efficient space-wise and more
performant at runtime than ref-delta encoding, Git packers try to use
ofs-delta whenever possible, and it is expected that objects encoded
as ref-delta are minority.
In the best clone case where no ref-delta object is present, we waste
(20-8) * nr_objects bytes because of this union. That's about 38MB out
of 100MB for deltas[] with 3.4M objects, or 38%. deltas[] would be
around 62MB without the waste.
This patch attempts to eliminate that. deltas[] array is split into
two: one for ofs-delta and one for ref-delta. Many functions are also
duplicated because of this split. With this patch, ofs_deltas[] array
takes 51MB. ref_deltas[] should remain unallocated in clone case (0
bytes). This array grows as we see ref-delta. We save about half in
this case, or 25% of total bookkeeping.
The saving is more than the calculation above because some padding in
the old delta_entry struct is removed. ofs_delta_entry is 16 bytes,
including the 4 bytes padding. That's 13MB for padding, but packing
the struct could break platforms that do not support unaligned
access. If someone on 32-bit is really low on memory and only deals
with packs smaller than 2G, using 32-bit off_t would eliminate the
padding and save 27MB on top.
A note about ofs_deltas allocation. We could use ref_deltas memory
allocation strategy for ofs_deltas. But that probably just adds more
overhead on top. ofs-deltas are generally the majority (1/2 to 2/3) in
any pack. Incremental realloc may lead to too many memcpy. And if we
preallocate, say 1/2 or 2/3 of nr_objects initially, the growth rate
of ALLOC_GROW() could make this array larger than nr_objects, wasting
more memory.

When we are limiting a rev-list traversal due to
UNINTERESTING refs, we have to walk down the tips (both
interesting and uninteresting) to find where they intersect.
We keep a queue of commits to examine, pop commits off
the queue one by one, and potentially add their parents. The
size of the queue will naturally fluctuate based on the
"width" of the history graph; i.e., the number of
simultaneous lines of development. But for the most part it
will stay in the same ballpark as the initial number of tips
we fed, shrinking over time (as we hit common ancestors of
the tips). So roughly speaking, if we start with `N` tips,
we'll spend much of the time with a queue around `N` items.
For each UNINTERESTING commit we pop, we call
still_interesting to check whether marking its parents as
UNINTERESTING has made the whole queue uninteresting (in
which case we can quit early). Because the queue is stored
as a linked list, this is `O(N)`, where `N` is the number of
items in the queue. So processing a queue with `N` commits
marked UNINTERESTING (and one or more interesting commits)
will take `O(N^2)`.
If you feed a lot of positive tips, this isn't a problem.
They aren't UNINTERESTING, so they don't incur the
still_interesting check. It also isn't a problem if you
traverse from an interesting tip to some UNINTERESTING
bases. We order the queue by recency, so the interesting
commits stay at the front of the queue as we walk down them.
The linear check can exit early as soon as it sees one
interesting commit left in the queue.
But if you want to know whether an older commit is reachable
from a set of newer tips, we end up processing in the
opposite direction: from the UNINTERESTING ones down to the
interesting one. This may happen when we call:
git rev-list $commits --not --all
in check_everything_connected after a fetch. If we fetched
something much older than most of our refs, and if we have a
large number of refs, the traversal cost is dominated by the
quadratic behavior.
These commands simulate the connectivity check of such a
fetch, when you have `$n` distinct refs in the receiver:
# positive ref is 100,000 commits deep
git rev-list --all | head -100000 | tail -1 >input
# huge number of more recent negative refs
git rev-list --all | head -$n | sed s/^/^/ >>input
time git rev-list --stdin <input
Here are timings for various `n` on the linux.git
repository. The `n=1` case provides a baseline for just
walking the commits, which lets us see the still_interesting
overhead. The times marked with `+` subtract that baseline
to show just the extra time growth due to the large number
of refs. The `x` numbers show the slowdown of the adjusted
time versus the prior trial.
n | before | after
--------------------------------------------------------
1 | 0.991s | 0.848s
10000 | 1.120s (+0.129s) | 0.885s (+0.037s)
20000 | 1.451s (+0.460s, 3.5x) | 0.923s (+0.075s, 2.0x)
40000 | 2.731s (+1.740s, 3.8x) | 0.994s (+0.146s, 1.9x)
80000 | 8.235s (+7.244s, 4.2x) | 1.123s (+0.275s, 1.9x)
Each trial doubles `n`, so you can see the quadratic (`4x`)
behavior before this patch. Afterwards, we have a roughly
linear relationship.
The implementation is fairly straightforward. Whenever we do
the linear search, we cache the interesting commit we find,
and next time check it before doing another linear search.
If that commit is removed from the list or becomes
UNINTERESTING itself, then we fall back to the linear
search. This is very similar to the trick used by fce87ae
(Fix quadratic performance in rewrite_one., 2008-07-12).
I considered and rejected several possible alternatives:
1. Keep a count of UNINTERESTING commits in the queue.
This requires managing the count not only when removing
an item from the queue, but also when marking an item
as UNINTERESTING. That requires touching the other
functions which mark commits, and would require knowing
quickly which commits are in the queue (lookup in the
queue is linear, so we would need an auxiliary
structure or to also maintain an IN_QUEUE flag in each
commit object).
2. Keep a separate list of interesting commits. Drop items
from it when they are dropped from the queue, or if
they become UNINTERESTING. This again suffers from
extra complexity to maintain the list, not to mention
CPU and memory.
3. Use a better data structure for the queue. This is
something that could help the fix in fce87ae, because
we order the queue by recency, and it is about
inserting quickly in recency order. So a normal
priority queue would help there. But here, we cannot
disturb the order of the queue, which makes things
harder. We really do need an auxiliary index to track
the flag we care about, which is basically option (2)
above.
The "cache" trick is simple, and the numbers above show that
it works well in practice. This is because the length of
time it takes to find an interesting commit is proportional
to the length of time it will remain cached (i.e., if we
have to walk a long way to find it, it also means we have to
pop a lot of elements in the queue until we get rid of it
and have to find another interesting commit).
The worst case is still quadratic, though. We could have `N`
uninteresting commits at the front of the queue, followed by
`N` interesting commits, where commit `i` has parent `i+N`.
When we pop commit `i`, we will notice that the parent of
the next commit, `i+1+N` is still interesting and cache it.
But then handling commit `i+1`, we will mark its parent
`i+1+N` uninteresting, and immediately invalidate our cache.

In t1430, we check whether deleting the branch "../../foo"

still passes).
Let's add an additional test for the same thing, but with a

are exercising the refname_is_safe code. While we're at it,

Prior to d0f810f (refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly
named refs, 2014-09-03), read_packed_refs would barf on any
malformed refnames by virtue of calling create_ref_entry
with the "check" parameter set to 1. That commit loosened
our reading so that we call check_refname_format ourselves
and just set a REF_BAD_NAME flag.
We then call create_ref_entry with the check parameter set
to 0. That function learned to do an extra safety check even
when the check parameter is 0, so that we don't load any
dangerous refnames (like "../../../etc/passwd"). This is
implemented by calling refname_is_safe() in
create_ref_entry().
However, we can observe that refname_is_safe() can only be
true if check_refname_format() also failed. So in the common
case of a sanely named ref, we perform _both_ checks, even
though we know that the latter will never trigger. This has
a noticeable performance impact when the packed-refs file is
large.
Let's drop the refname_is_safe check from create_ref_entry(),
and make it the responsibility of the caller. Of the three
callers that pass a check parameter of "0", two will have
just called check_refname_format(), and can check the
refname-safety only when it fails. The third case,
pack_if_possible_fn, is copying from an existing ref entry,
which must have previously passed our safety check.
