pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

patch to disable it]

pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs
In the original implementation of want_object_in_pack(), we
always looked for the object in every pack, so the order did
not matter for performance.
As of the last few patches, however, we can now often break
out of the loop early after finding the first instance, and
avoid looking in the other packs at all. In this case, pack
order can make a big difference, because we'd like to find
the objects by looking at as few packs as possible.
This patch switches us to the same packed_git_mru list that
is now used by normal object lookups.
Here are timings for p5303 on linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 31.31(31.07+0.23) 31.28(31.00+0.27) -0.1%
5303.4: repack (1) 40.35(38.84+2.60) 40.53(39.31+2.32) +0.4%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 31.37(31.15+0.21) 31.41(31.16+0.24) +0.1%
5303.7: repack (50) 58.25(68.54+2.03) 47.28(57.66+1.89) -18.8%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 31.91(31.57+0.33) 31.93(31.64+0.28) +0.1%
5303.10: repack (1000) 304.80(376.00+3.92) 87.21(159.54+2.84) -71.4%
The rev-list numbers are unchanged, which makes sense (they
are not exercising this code at all). The 50- and 1000-pack
repack cases show considerable improvement.
The single-pack repack case doesn't, of course; there's
nothing to improve. In fact, it gives us a baseline for how
fast we could possibly go. You can see that though rev-list
can approach the single-pack case even with 1000 packs,
repack doesn't. The reason is simple: the loop we are
optimizing is only part of what the repack is doing. After
the "counting" phase, we do delta compression, which is much
more expensive when there are multiple packs, because we
have fewer deltas we can reuse (you can also see that these
numbers come from a multicore machine; the CPU times are
much higher than the wall-clock times due to the delta
phase).
So the good news is that in cases with many packs, we used
to be dominated by the "counting" phase, and now we are
dominated by the delta compression (which is faster, and
which we have already parallelized).
Here are similar numbers for git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 1.55(1.51+0.02) 1.54(1.53+0.00) -0.6%
5303.4: repack (1) 1.82(1.80+0.08) 1.82(1.78+0.09) +0.0%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 1.58(1.57+0.00) 1.58(1.56+0.01) +0.0%
5303.7: repack (50) 2.50(3.12+0.07) 2.31(2.95+0.06) -7.6%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 2.22(2.20+0.02) 2.23(2.19+0.03) +0.5%
5303.10: repack (1000) 10.47(16.78+0.22) 7.50(13.76+0.22) -28.4%
Not as impressive in terms of percentage, but still
measurable wins. If you look at the wall-clock time
improvements in the 1000-pack case, you can see that linux
improved by roughly 10x as many seconds as git. That's
because it has roughly 10x as many objects, and we'd expect
this improvement to scale linearly with the number of
objects (since the number of packs is kept constant). It's
just that the "counting" phase is a smaller percentage of
the total time spent for a git.git repack, and hence the
percentage win is smaller.
The implementation itself is a straightforward use of the
MRU code. We only bother marking a pack as used when we know
that we are able to break early out of the loop, for two
reasons:
1. If we can't break out early, it does no good; we have
to visit each pack anyway, so we might as well avoid
even the minor overhead of managing the cache order.
2. The mru_mark() function reorders the list, which would
screw up our traversal. So it is only safe to mark when
we are about to break out of the loop. We could record
the found pack and mark it after the loop finishes, of
course, but that's more complicated and it doesn't buy
us anything due to (1).
Note that this reordering does have a potential impact on
the final pack, as we store only a single "found" pack for
each object, even if it is present in multiple packs. In
principle, any copy is acceptable, as they all refer to the
same content. But in practice, they may differ in whether
they are stored as deltas, against which base, etc. This may
have an impact on delta reuse, and even the delta search
(since we skip pairs that were already in the same pack).
It's not clear whether this change of order would hurt or
even help average cases, though. The most likely reason to
have duplicate objects is from the completion of thin packs
(e.g., you have some objects in a "base" pack, then receive
several pushes; the packs you receive may be thin on the
wire, with deltas that refer to bases outside the pack, but
we complete them with duplicate base objects when indexing
them).
In such a case the current code would always find the thin
duplicates (because we currently walk the packs in reverse
chronological order). Whereas with this patch, some of those
duplicates would be found in the base pack instead.
In my tests repacking a real-world case of linux.git with
3600 thin-pack pushes (on top of a large "base" pack), the
resulting pack was about 0.04% larger with this patch. On
the other hand, because we were more likely to hit the base
pack, there were more opportunities for delta reuse, and we
had 50,000 fewer objects to examine in the delta search.

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").
With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
In want_object_in_pack(), we can exit early from our loop if
neither "local" nor "ignore_pack_keep" are set. If they are,
however, we must examine each pack to see if it has the
object and is non-local or has a ".keep".
It's quite common for there to be no non-local or .keep
packs at all, in which case we know ahead of time that
looking further will be pointless. We can pre-compute this
by simply iterating over the list of packs ahead of time,
and dropping the flags if there are no packs that could
match.
Another similar strategy would be to modify the loop in
want_object_in_pack() to notice that we have already found
the object once, and that we are looping only to check for
"local" and "keep" attributes. If a pack has neither of
those, we can skip the call to find_pack_entry_one(), which
is the expensive part of the loop.
This has two advantages:
- it isn't all-or-nothing; we still get some improvement
when there's a small number of kept or non-local packs,
and a large number of non-kept local packs
- it eliminates any possible race where we add new
non-local or kept packs after our initial scan. In
practice, I don't think this race matters; we already
cache the packed_git information, so somebody who adds a
new pack or .keep file after we've started will not be
noticed at all, unless we happen to need to call
reprepare_packed_git() because a lookup fails.
In other words, we're already racy, and the race is not
a big deal (losing the race means we might include an
object in the pack that would not otherwise be, which is
an acceptable outcome).
However, it also has a disadvantage: we still loop over the
rest of the packs for each object to check their flags. This
is much less expensive than doing the object lookup, but
still not free. So if we wanted to implement that strategy
to cover the non-all-or-nothing cases, we could do so in
addition to this one (so you get the most speedup in the
all-or-nothing case, and the best we can do in the other
cases). But given that the all-or-nothing case is likely the
most common, it is probably not worth the trouble, and we
can revisit this later if evidence points otherwise.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \

pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:
Test origin/master HEAD^ HEAD

5310.2: repack to disk 36.81(37.82+1.43) 47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6% 47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

With the current pack heuristics, more than 30% of accesses have to
seek further than 300MB; the updated pack heuristics ensures that less
than 0.1% of accesses have to seek further than 135MB. This is largely
due to the fact that the updated heuristics does not mix blobs and
trees together.

The long-tail part of the result looks worse with the patch, but
the change helps majority of the access. 99.04% of the accesses

Less than 2MiB seek: 81.73% 96.92%
As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer length
The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length
header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know
long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it
might be possible to overflow.
In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest
buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for
an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to
see such an object, but we might worry that an object could
lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize
it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument
is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128
available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by
the ABI.
So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be
exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len
pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the
hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to
accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the
resulting code easier to audit.
Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such
a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd
have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

compute a CRC32 for each object as stored in a pack
The most important optimization for performance when repacking is the
ability to reuse data from a previous pack as is and bypass any delta
or even SHA1 computation by simply copying the raw data from one pack
to another directly.
The problem with this is that any data corruption within a copied object
would go unnoticed and the new (repacked) pack would be self-consistent
with its own checksum despite containing a corrupted object. This is a
real issue that already happened at least once in the past.
In some attempt to prevent this, we validate the copied data by inflating
it and making sure no error is signaled by zlib. But this is still not
perfect as a significant portion of a pack content is made of object
headers and references to delta base objects which are not deflated and
therefore not validated when repacking actually making the pack data reuse
still not as safe as it could be.
Of course a full SHA1 validation could be performed, but that implies
full data inflating and delta replaying which is extremely costly, which
cost the data reuse optimization was designed to avoid in the first place.
So the best solution to this is simply to store a CRC32 of the raw pack
data for each object in the pack index. This way any object in a pack can
be validated before being copied as is in another pack, including header
and any other non deflated data.
Why CRC32 instead of a faster checksum like Adler32? Quoting Wikipedia:
Jonathan Stone discovered in 2001 that Adler-32 has a weakness for very
short messages. He wrote "Briefly, the problem is that, for very short
packets, Adler32 is guaranteed to give poor coverage of the available
bits. Don't take my word for it, ask Mark Adler. :-)" The problem is
that sum A does not wrap for short messages. The maximum value of A for
a 128-byte message is 32640, which is below the value 65521 used by the
modulo operation. An extended explanation can be found in RFC 3309,
which mandates the use of CRC32 instead of Adler-32 for SCTP, the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol.
In the context of a GIT pack, we have lots of small objects, especially
deltas, which are likely to be quite small and in a size range for which
Adler32 is dimed not to be sufficient. Another advantage of CRC32 is the
possibility for recovery from certain types of small corruptions like
single bit errors which are the most probable type of corruptions.
OK what this patch does is to compute the CRC32 of each object written to
a pack within pack-objects. It is not written to the index yet and it is
obviously not validated when reusing pack data yet either.

pack-objects: finishing touches.
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.
* Simple commit-only log.

Less than 2MiB seek: 61.71% 62.87%
With the current pack heuristics, more than 30% of accesses have to
seek further than 300MB; the updated pack heuristics ensures that less

due to the fact that the updated heuristics does not mix blobs and

The long-tail part of the result looks worse with the patch, but
the change helps majority of the access. 99.04% of the accesses

Less than 2MiB seek: 81.73% 96.92%
As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

pack-objects: don't traverse objects unnecessarily
This brings back some of the performance lost in optimizing recency
order inside pack objects. We were doing extreme amounts of object
re-traversal: for the 2.14 million objects in the Linux kernel
repository, we were calling add_to_write_order() over 1.03 billion times
(a 0.2% hit rate, making 99.8% of of these calls extraneous).
Two optimizations take place here- we can start our objects array
iteration from a known point where we left off before we started trying
to find our tags, and we don't need to do the deep dives required by
add_family_to_write_order() if the object has already been marked as
filled.
These two optimizations bring some pretty spectacular results via `perf
stat`:
task-clock: 83373 ms --> 43800 ms (50% faster)
cycles: 221,633,461,676 --> 116,307,209,986 (47% fewer)
instructions: 149,299,179,939 --> 122,998,800,184 (18% fewer)

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

pack-objects: don't traverse objects unnecessarily
This brings back some of the performance lost in optimizing recency
order inside pack objects. We were doing extreme amounts of object
re-traversal: for the 2.14 million objects in the Linux kernel
repository, we were calling add_to_write_order() over 1.03 billion times
(a 0.2% hit rate, making 99.8% of of these calls extraneous).
Two optimizations take place here- we can start our objects array
iteration from a known point where we left off before we started trying
to find our tags, and we don't need to do the deep dives required by
add_family_to_write_order() if the object has already been marked as
filled.
These two optimizations bring some pretty spectacular results via `perf
stat`:
task-clock: 83373 ms --> 43800 ms (50% faster)
cycles: 221,633,461,676 --> 116,307,209,986 (47% fewer)
instructions: 149,299,179,939 --> 122,998,800,184 (18% fewer)

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

pack-objects: don't traverse objects unnecessarily
This brings back some of the performance lost in optimizing recency
order inside pack objects. We were doing extreme amounts of object
re-traversal: for the 2.14 million objects in the Linux kernel
repository, we were calling add_to_write_order() over 1.03 billion times
(a 0.2% hit rate, making 99.8% of of these calls extraneous).
Two optimizations take place here- we can start our objects array
iteration from a known point where we left off before we started trying
to find our tags, and we don't need to do the deep dives required by
add_family_to_write_order() if the object has already been marked as
filled.
These two optimizations bring some pretty spectacular results via `perf
stat`:
task-clock: 83373 ms --> 43800 ms (50% faster)
cycles: 221,633,461,676 --> 116,307,209,986 (47% fewer)
instructions: 149,299,179,939 --> 122,998,800,184 (18% fewer)

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

pack-objects: don't traverse objects unnecessarily
This brings back some of the performance lost in optimizing recency
order inside pack objects. We were doing extreme amounts of object
re-traversal: for the 2.14 million objects in the Linux kernel
repository, we were calling add_to_write_order() over 1.03 billion times
(a 0.2% hit rate, making 99.8% of of these calls extraneous).
Two optimizations take place here- we can start our objects array
iteration from a known point where we left off before we started trying
to find our tags, and we don't need to do the deep dives required by
add_family_to_write_order() if the object has already been marked as
filled.
These two optimizations bring some pretty spectacular results via `perf
stat`:
task-clock: 83373 ms --> 43800 ms (50% faster)
cycles: 221,633,461,676 --> 116,307,209,986 (47% fewer)

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

pack-objects: show progress for reused packfiles
When the "--all-progress" option is in effect, pack-objects
shows a progress report for the "writing" phase. If the
repository has bitmaps and we are reusing a packfile, the
user sees no progress update until the whole packfile is
sent. Since this is typically the bulk of what is being
written, it can look like git hangs during this phase, even
though the transfer is proceeding.
This generally only happens with "git push" from a
repository with bitmaps. We do not use "--all-progress" for
fetch (since the result is going to index-pack on the
client, which takes care of progress reporting). And for
regular repacks to disk, we do not reuse packfiles.
We already have the progress meter setup during
write_reused_pack; we just need to call display_progress
whiel we are writing out the pack. The progress meter is
attached to our output descriptor, so it automatically
handles the throughput measurements.
However, we need to update the object count as we go, since
that is what feeds the percentage we show. We aren't
actually parsing the packfile as we send it, so we have no
idea how many objects we have sent; we only know that at the
end of N bytes, we will have sent M objects. So we cheat a
little and assume each object is M/N bytes (i.e., the mean
of the objects we are sending). While this isn't strictly
true, it actually produces a more pleasing progress meter
for the user, as it moves smoothly and predictably (and
nobody really cares about the object count; they care about
the percentage, and the object count is a proxy for that).
One alternative would be to actually show two progress
meters: one for the reused pack, and one for the rest of the
objects. That would more closely reflect the data we have
(the first would be measured in bytes, and the second
measured in objects). But it would also be more complex and
annoying to the user; rather than seeing one progress meter
counting up to 100%, they would finish one meter, then start
another one at zero.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

pack-objects: show progress for reused packfiles
When the "--all-progress" option is in effect, pack-objects
shows a progress report for the "writing" phase. If the
repository has bitmaps and we are reusing a packfile, the
user sees no progress update until the whole packfile is
sent. Since this is typically the bulk of what is being
written, it can look like git hangs during this phase, even
though the transfer is proceeding.
This generally only happens with "git push" from a
repository with bitmaps. We do not use "--all-progress" for
fetch (since the result is going to index-pack on the
client, which takes care of progress reporting). And for
regular repacks to disk, we do not reuse packfiles.
We already have the progress meter setup during
write_reused_pack; we just need to call display_progress
whiel we are writing out the pack. The progress meter is
attached to our output descriptor, so it automatically
handles the throughput measurements.
However, we need to update the object count as we go, since
that is what feeds the percentage we show. We aren't
actually parsing the packfile as we send it, so we have no
idea how many objects we have sent; we only know that at the
end of N bytes, we will have sent M objects. So we cheat a
little and assume each object is M/N bytes (i.e., the mean
of the objects we are sending). While this isn't strictly
true, it actually produces a more pleasing progress meter
for the user, as it moves smoothly and predictably (and
nobody really cares about the object count; they care about
the percentage, and the object count is a proxy for that).
One alternative would be to actually show two progress
meters: one for the reused pack, and one for the rest of the
objects. That would more closely reflect the data we have
(the first would be measured in bytes, and the second
measured in objects). But it would also be more complex and
annoying to the user; rather than seeing one progress meter
counting up to 100%, they would finish one meter, then start
another one at zero.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing

and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:
[existing graph traversal]
$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \

pack reuse is automatic, so timing this required a
patch to disable it]

As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

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`.

pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:
Test origin/master HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk 36.81(37.82+1.43) 47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6% 47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%
5310.3: simulated clone 30.78(29.70+2.14) 1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5% 1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%
5310.4: simulated fetch 3.16(6.10+0.08) 3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0% 1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

pack-objects: optimize "recency order"
This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing
some 490MiB.

As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.
However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.
The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or

We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to
add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons:
1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and
2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs.
"2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover
"1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be
non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry.
In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found
pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away
in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In

pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.
However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.
The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or
.keep'ed pack).
We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to

pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs
In the original implementation of want_object_in_pack(), we
always looked for the object in every pack, so the order did
not matter for performance.
As of the last few patches, however, we can now often break
out of the loop early after finding the first instance, and
avoid looking in the other packs at all. In this case, pack
order can make a big difference, because we'd like to find
the objects by looking at as few packs as possible.
This patch switches us to the same packed_git_mru list that
is now used by normal object lookups.
Here are timings for p5303 on linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 31.31(31.07+0.23) 31.28(31.00+0.27) -0.1%
5303.4: repack (1) 40.35(38.84+2.60) 40.53(39.31+2.32) +0.4%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 31.37(31.15+0.21) 31.41(31.16+0.24) +0.1%
5303.7: repack (50) 58.25(68.54+2.03) 47.28(57.66+1.89) -18.8%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 31.91(31.57+0.33) 31.93(31.64+0.28) +0.1%
5303.10: repack (1000) 304.80(376.00+3.92) 87.21(159.54+2.84) -71.4%
The rev-list numbers are unchanged, which makes sense (they
are not exercising this code at all). The 50- and 1000-pack
repack cases show considerable improvement.
The single-pack repack case doesn't, of course; there's
nothing to improve. In fact, it gives us a baseline for how
fast we could possibly go. You can see that though rev-list
can approach the single-pack case even with 1000 packs,
repack doesn't. The reason is simple: the loop we are
optimizing is only part of what the repack is doing. After
the "counting" phase, we do delta compression, which is much
more expensive when there are multiple packs, because we
have fewer deltas we can reuse (you can also see that these
numbers come from a multicore machine; the CPU times are
much higher than the wall-clock times due to the delta
phase).
So the good news is that in cases with many packs, we used
to be dominated by the "counting" phase, and now we are
dominated by the delta compression (which is faster, and
which we have already parallelized).
Here are similar numbers for git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 1.55(1.51+0.02) 1.54(1.53+0.00) -0.6%
5303.4: repack (1) 1.82(1.80+0.08) 1.82(1.78+0.09) +0.0%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 1.58(1.57+0.00) 1.58(1.56+0.01) +0.0%
5303.7: repack (50) 2.50(3.12+0.07) 2.31(2.95+0.06) -7.6%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 2.22(2.20+0.02) 2.23(2.19+0.03) +0.5%
5303.10: repack (1000) 10.47(16.78+0.22) 7.50(13.76+0.22) -28.4%
Not as impressive in terms of percentage, but still
measurable wins. If you look at the wall-clock time
improvements in the 1000-pack case, you can see that linux
improved by roughly 10x as many seconds as git. That's
because it has roughly 10x as many objects, and we'd expect
this improvement to scale linearly with the number of
objects (since the number of packs is kept constant). It's
just that the "counting" phase is a smaller percentage of
the total time spent for a git.git repack, and hence the
percentage win is smaller.
The implementation itself is a straightforward use of the
MRU code. We only bother marking a pack as used when we know
that we are able to break early out of the loop, for two
reasons:
1. If we can't break out early, it does no good; we have
to visit each pack anyway, so we might as well avoid
even the minor overhead of managing the cache order.
2. The mru_mark() function reorders the list, which would
screw up our traversal. So it is only safe to mark when
we are about to break out of the loop. We could record
the found pack and mark it after the loop finishes, of
course, but that's more complicated and it doesn't buy
us anything due to (1).
Note that this reordering does have a potential impact on
the final pack, as we store only a single "found" pack for
each object, even if it is present in multiple packs. In
principle, any copy is acceptable, as they all refer to the
same content. But in practice, they may differ in whether
they are stored as deltas, against which base, etc. This may
have an impact on delta reuse, and even the delta search
(since we skip pairs that were already in the same pack).
It's not clear whether this change of order would hurt or
even help average cases, though. The most likely reason to
have duplicate objects is from the completion of thin packs
(e.g., you have some objects in a "base" pack, then receive
several pushes; the packs you receive may be thin on the
wire, with deltas that refer to bases outside the pack, but
we complete them with duplicate base objects when indexing
them).
In such a case the current code would always find the thin
duplicates (because we currently walk the packs in reverse
chronological order). Whereas with this patch, some of those
duplicates would be found in the base pack instead.
In my tests repacking a real-world case of linux.git with
3600 thin-pack pushes (on top of a large "base" pack), the
resulting pack was about 0.04% larger with this patch. On
the other hand, because we were more likely to hit the base
pack, there were more opportunities for delta reuse, and we
had 50,000 fewer objects to examine in the delta search.

pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs
In the original implementation of want_object_in_pack(), we
always looked for the object in every pack, so the order did
not matter for performance.
As of the last few patches, however, we can now often break
out of the loop early after finding the first instance, and
avoid looking in the other packs at all. In this case, pack
order can make a big difference, because we'd like to find
the objects by looking at as few packs as possible.
This patch switches us to the same packed_git_mru list that
is now used by normal object lookups.
Here are timings for p5303 on linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 31.31(31.07+0.23) 31.28(31.00+0.27) -0.1%
5303.4: repack (1) 40.35(38.84+2.60) 40.53(39.31+2.32) +0.4%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 31.37(31.15+0.21) 31.41(31.16+0.24) +0.1%
5303.7: repack (50) 58.25(68.54+2.03) 47.28(57.66+1.89) -18.8%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 31.91(31.57+0.33) 31.93(31.64+0.28) +0.1%
5303.10: repack (1000) 304.80(376.00+3.92) 87.21(159.54+2.84) -71.4%
The rev-list numbers are unchanged, which makes sense (they
are not exercising this code at all). The 50- and 1000-pack
repack cases show considerable improvement.
The single-pack repack case doesn't, of course; there's
nothing to improve. In fact, it gives us a baseline for how
fast we could possibly go. You can see that though rev-list
can approach the single-pack case even with 1000 packs,
repack doesn't. The reason is simple: the loop we are
optimizing is only part of what the repack is doing. After
the "counting" phase, we do delta compression, which is much
more expensive when there are multiple packs, because we
have fewer deltas we can reuse (you can also see that these
numbers come from a multicore machine; the CPU times are
much higher than the wall-clock times due to the delta
phase).
So the good news is that in cases with many packs, we used
to be dominated by the "counting" phase, and now we are
dominated by the delta compression (which is faster, and
which we have already parallelized).
Here are similar numbers for git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 1.55(1.51+0.02) 1.54(1.53+0.00) -0.6%
5303.4: repack (1) 1.82(1.80+0.08) 1.82(1.78+0.09) +0.0%
5303.6: rev-list (50) 1.58(1.57+0.00) 1.58(1.56+0.01) +0.0%
5303.7: repack (50) 2.50(3.12+0.07) 2.31(2.95+0.06) -7.6%
5303.9: rev-list (1000) 2.22(2.20+0.02) 2.23(2.19+0.03) +0.5%
5303.10: repack (1000) 10.47(16.78+0.22) 7.50(13.76+0.22) -28.4%
Not as impressive in terms of percentage, but still
measurable wins. If you look at the wall-clock time
improvements in the 1000-pack case, you can see that linux
improved by roughly 10x as many seconds as git. That's
because it has roughly 10x as many objects, and we'd expect
this improvement to scale linearly with the number of
objects (since the number of packs is kept constant). It's
just that the "counting" phase is a smaller percentage of
the total time spent for a git.git repack, and hence the
percentage win is smaller.
The implementation itself is a straightforward use of the
MRU code. We only bother marking a pack as used when we know
that we are able to break early out of the loop, for two
reasons:
1. If we can't break out early, it does no good; we have
to visit each pack anyway, so we might as well avoid
even the minor overhead of managing the cache order.
2. The mru_mark() function reorders the list, which would
screw up our traversal. So it is only safe to mark when
we are about to break out of the loop. We could record
the found pack and mark it after the loop finishes, of
course, but that's more complicated and it doesn't buy
us anything due to (1).
Note that this reordering does have a potential impact on
the final pack, as we store only a single "found" pack for
each object, even if it is present in multiple packs. In
principle, any copy is acceptable, as they all refer to the
same content. But in practice, they may differ in whether
they are stored as deltas, against which base, etc. This may
have an impact on delta reuse, and even the delta search
(since we skip pairs that were already in the same pack).
It's not clear whether this change of order would hurt or
even help average cases, though. The most likely reason to
have duplicate objects is from the completion of thin packs
(e.g., you have some objects in a "base" pack, then receive
several pushes; the packs you receive may be thin on the
wire, with deltas that refer to bases outside the pack, but
we complete them with duplicate base objects when indexing
them).
In such a case the current code would always find the thin
duplicates (because we currently walk the packs in reverse
chronological order). Whereas with this patch, some of those
duplicates would be found in the base pack instead.
In my tests repacking a real-world case of linux.git with
3600 thin-pack pushes (on top of a large "base" pack), the
resulting pack was about 0.04% larger with this patch. On
the other hand, because we were more likely to hit the base
pack, there were more opportunities for delta reuse, and we
had 50,000 fewer objects to examine in the delta search.

pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.
However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.
The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or
.keep'ed pack).
We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to
add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons:
1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and
2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs.
"2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover
"1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be
non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry.
In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found
pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away
in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In
particular, as p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh shows (3 consecutive runs), we do
not do harm to served-with-bitmap clones performance-wise:

sha1_file: squelch "packfile cannot be accessed" warnings
When we find an object in a packfile index, we make sure we
can still open the packfile itself (or that it is already
open), as it might have been deleted by a simultaneous
repack. If we can't access the packfile, we print a warning
for the user and tell the caller that we don't have the
object (we can then look in other packfiles, or find a loose
version, before giving up).
The warning we print to the user isn't really accomplishing
anything, and it is potentially confusing to users. In the
normal case, it is complete noise; we find the object
elsewhere, and the user does not have to care that we racily
saw a packfile index that became stale. It didn't affect the
operation at all.
A possibly more interesting case is when we later can't find
the object, and report failure to the user. In this case the
warning could be considered a clue toward that ultimate
failure. But it's not really a useful clue in practice. We
wouldn't even print it consistently (since we are racing
with another process, we might not even see the .idx file,
or we might win the race and open the packfile, completing
the operation).
This patch drops the warning entirely (not only from the
fill_pack_entry site, but also from an identical use in
pack-objects). If we did find the warning interesting in the
error case, we could stuff it away and reveal it to the user
when we later die() due to the broken object. But that
complexity just isn't worth it.

pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs
It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a
simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack
that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices
early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by
the time we try to open and map it, it is gone.
Since c715f78, we already protect against this in the normal
object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs
at a lower level. In the normal access path, we call
find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each
pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit,
we will actually open and verify the validity of the
matching packfile (using c715f78's is_pack_valid). If we
can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we
didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on
to loose objects).
Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened
packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to
access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile
opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the
filesystem.
Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access
in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could
close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the
closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course,
but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't
happen because we tend to look up items and then access them
immediately.
Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it
accesses the packs at a much lower level, using
find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the
is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a
packfile, but no open descriptor.
We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately,
the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice
for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up
each object as we find out about it, and the only later when
writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which
means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim.
In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for
three reasons.
1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a
reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of
your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case,
then the race is impossible to trigger.
2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you
may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may
get lucky).
3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that
the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering
the problem without this check means deleting the pack
any time after we read the list of index files, but
before we access the looked-up objects. Triggering it
with this check means deleting the pack means deleting
the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access
the packfile), but before we access the object. Which
is a smaller window.

Not as impressive in terms of percentage, but still
measurable wins. If you look at the wall-clock time
improvements in the 1000-pack case, you can see that linux
improved by roughly 10x as many seconds as git. That's
because it has roughly 10x as many objects, and we'd expect
this improvement to scale linearly with the number of
objects (since the number of packs is kept constant). It's
just that the "counting" phase is a smaller percentage of
the total time spent for a git.git repack, and hence the
percentage win is smaller.
The implementation itself is a straightforward use of the
MRU code. We only bother marking a pack as used when we know
that we are able to break early out of the loop, for two
reasons:
1. If we can't break out early, it does no good; we have
to visit each pack anyway, so we might as well avoid
even the minor overhead of managing the cache order.
2. The mru_mark() function reorders the list, which would
screw up our traversal. So it is only safe to mark when
we are about to break out of the loop. We could record
the found pack and mark it after the loop finishes, of
course, but that's more complicated and it doesn't buy
us anything due to (1).
Note that this reordering does have a potential impact on
the final pack, as we store only a single "found" pack for
each object, even if it is present in multiple packs. In
principle, any copy is acceptable, as they all refer to the
same content. But in practice, they may differ in whether
they are stored as deltas, against which base, etc. This may
have an impact on delta reuse, and even the delta search
(since we skip pairs that were already in the same pack).
It's not clear whether this change of order would hurt or
even help average cases, though. The most likely reason to
have duplicate objects is from the completion of thin packs
(e.g., you have some objects in a "base" pack, then receive
several pushes; the packs you receive may be thin on the
wire, with deltas that refer to bases outside the pack, but
we complete them with duplicate base objects when indexing
them).
In such a case the current code would always find the thin
duplicates (because we currently walk the packs in reverse
chronological order). Whereas with this patch, some of those
duplicates would be found in the base pack instead.
In my tests repacking a real-world case of linux.git with
3600 thin-pack pushes (on top of a large "base" pack), the
resulting pack was about 0.04% larger with this patch. On
the other hand, because we were more likely to hit the base
pack, there were more opportunities for delta reuse, and we
had 50,000 fewer objects to examine in the delta search.

pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.
However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.
The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or
.keep'ed pack).
We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to
add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons:
1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and
2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs.
"2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover
"1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be
non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry.
In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found
pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away
in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In
particular, as p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh shows (3 consecutive runs), we do
not do harm to served-with-bitmap clones performance-wise:

want_object_in_pack() into two parts: finding the object and seeing if it
impacts our choice to include it in the pack. We may call the inexpensive
want_found_object() twice, but we will never call find_pack_entry_one() if we
do not need to.

pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when skipping objects
The pack bitmap format requires that we have a single bit
for each object in the pack, and that each object's bitmap
represents its complete set of reachable objects. Therefore
we have no way to represent the bitmap of an object which
references objects outside the pack.
We notice this problem while generating the bitmaps, as we
try to find the offset of a particular object and realize
that we do not have it. In this case we die, and neither the
bitmap nor the pack is generated. This is correct, but
perhaps a little unfriendly. If you have bitmaps turned on
in the config, many repacks will fail which would otherwise
succeed. E.g., incremental repacks, repacks with "-l" when
you have alternates, ".keep" files.
Instead, this patch notices early that we are omitting some
objects from the pack and turns off bitmaps (with a
warning). Note that this is not strictly correct, as it's
possible that the object being omitted is not reachable from
any other object in the pack. In practice, this is almost
never the case, and there are two advantages to doing it
this way:
1. The code is much simpler, as we do not have to cleanly
abort the bitmap-generation process midway through.
2. We do not waste time partially generating bitmaps only
to find out that some object deep in the history is not
being packed.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:
[existing graph traversal]
$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \

pack-objects: respect --local/--honor-pack-keep/--incremental when bitmap is in use
Since 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects) there
are two codepaths in pack-objects: with & without using bitmap
reachability index.
However add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), despite its non-bitmapped
counterpart add_object_entry(), in no way does check for whether --local
or --honor-pack-keep or --incremental should be respected. In
non-bitmapped codepath this is handled in want_object_in_pack(), but
bitmapped codepath has simply no such checking at all.
The bitmapped codepath however was allowing to pass in all those options
and with bitmap indices still being used under such conditions -
potentially giving wrong output (e.g. including objects from non-local or
.keep'ed pack).
We can easily fix this by noting the following: when an object comes to
add_object_entry_from_bitmap() it can come for two reasons:
1. entries coming from main pack covered by bitmap index, and
2. object coming from, possibly alternate, loose or other packs.
"2" can be already handled by want_object_in_pack() and to cover
"1" we can teach want_object_in_pack() to expect that *found_pack can be
non-NULL, meaning calling client already found object's pack entry.
In want_object_in_pack() we care to start the checks from already found
pack, if we have one, this way determining the answer right away
in case neither --local nor --honour-pack-keep are active. In
particular, as p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh shows (3 consecutive runs), we do
not do harm to served-with-bitmap clones performance-wise:

In the general case we do not want to call find_pack_entry_one() more than
once, because it is expensive. This patch splits the loop in
want_object_in_pack() into two parts: finding the object and seeing if it
impacts our choice to include it in the pack. We may call the inexpensive
want_found_object() twice, but we will never call find_pack_entry_one() if we
do not need to.
I appreciate help and discussing this change with Junio C Hamano and
Jeff King.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

patch to disable it]

pack-objects: improve path grouping heuristics.
This trivial patch not only simplifies the name hashing, it actually
improves packing for both git and the kernel.
The git archive pack shrinks from 6824090->6622627 bytes (a 3%
improvement), and the kernel pack shrinks from 108756213 to 108219021 (a
mere 0.5% improvement, but still, it's an improvement from making the
hashing much simpler!)
We just create a 32-bit hash, where we "age" previous characters by two
bits, so the last characters in a filename count most. So when we then
compare the hashes in the sort routine, filenames that end the same way
sort the same way.
It takes the subdirectory into account (unless the filename is > 16
characters), but files with the same name within the same subdirectory
will obviously sort closer than files in different subdirectories.
And, incidentally (which is why I tried the hash change in the first
place, of course) builtin-rev-list.c will sort fairly close to rev-list.c.
And no, it's not a "good hash" in the sense of being secure or unique, but
that's not what we're looking for. The whole "hash" thing is misnamed
here. It's not so much a hash as a "sorting number".

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

tree_entry(): new tree-walking helper function
This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of
doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()".
It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops
that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree
descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean
"true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree.
This allows tree traversal with
struct tree_desc desc;
struct name_entry entry;
desc.buf = tree->buffer;
desc.size = tree->size;
while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) {
... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ...
}
which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less
error prone too.
[ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry
pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once.
Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since
it's returned as part of the name_entry structure.
However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects
--all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no
longer the issue any more. ]
NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of
the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately
from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still
remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface.
We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for
initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down
on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

improvement), and the kernel pack shrinks from 108756213 to 108219021 (a
mere 0.5% improvement, but still, it's an improvement from making the
hashing much simpler!)
We just create a 32-bit hash, where we "age" previous characters by two
bits, so the last characters in a filename count most. So when we then
compare the hashes in the sort routine, filenames that end the same way
sort the same way.
It takes the subdirectory into account (unless the filename is > 16
characters), but files with the same name within the same subdirectory
will obviously sort closer than files in different subdirectories.
And, incidentally (which is why I tried the hash change in the first
place, of course) builtin-rev-list.c will sort fairly close to rev-list.c.
And no, it's not a "good hash" in the sense of being secure or unique, but
that's not what we're looking for. The whole "hash" thing is misnamed
here. It's not so much a hash as a "sorting number".

pack-objects: improve path grouping heuristics.
This trivial patch not only simplifies the name hashing, it actually
improves packing for both git and the kernel.
The git archive pack shrinks from 6824090->6622627 bytes (a 3%
improvement), and the kernel pack shrinks from 108756213 to 108219021 (a
mere 0.5% improvement, but still, it's an improvement from making the

We just create a 32-bit hash, where we "age" previous characters by two

It takes the subdirectory into account (unless the filename is > 16

will obviously sort closer than files in different subdirectories.
And, incidentally (which is why I tried the hash change in the first

And no, it's not a "good hash" in the sense of being secure or unique, but

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

pack-objects: finishing touches.
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
We do not allow cycles in the delta graph of a pack (i.e., A
is a delta of B which is a delta of A) for the obvious
reason that you cannot actually access any of the objects in
such a case.
There's a last-ditch attempt to notice cycles during the
write phase, during which we issue a warning to the user and
write one of the objects out in full. However, this is
"last-ditch" for two reasons:
1. By this time, it's too late to find another delta for
the object, so the resulting pack is larger than it
otherwise could be.
2. The warning is there because this is something that
_shouldn't_ ever happen. If it does, then either:
a. a pack we are reusing deltas from had its own
cycle
b. we are reusing deltas from multiple packs, and
we found a cycle among them (i.e., A is a delta of
B in one pack, but B is a delta of A in another,
and we choose to use both deltas).
c. there is a bug in the delta-search code
So this code serves as a final check that none of these
things has happened, warns the user, and prevents us
from writing a bogus pack.
Right now, (2b) should never happen because of the static
ordering of packs in want_object_in_pack(). If two objects
have a delta relationship, then they must be in the same
pack, and therefore we will find them from that same pack.
However, a future patch would like to change that static
ordering, which will make (2b) a common occurrence. In
preparation, we should be able to handle those kinds of
cycles better. This patch does by introducing a
cycle-breaking step during the get_object_details() phase,
when we are deciding which deltas can be reused. That gives
us the chance to feed the objects into the delta search as
if the cycle did not exist.
We'll leave the detection and warning in the write_object()
phase in place, as it still serves as a check for case (2c).
This does mean we will stop warning for (2a). That case is
caused by bogus input packs, and we ideally would warn the
user about it. However, since those cycles show up after
picking reusable deltas, they look the same as (2b) to us;
our new code will break the cycles early and the last-ditch
check will never see them.
We could do analysis on any cycles that we find to
distinguish the two cases (i.e., it is a bogus pack if and
only if every delta in the cycle is in the same pack), but
we don't need to. If there is a cycle inside a pack, we'll
run into problems not only reusing the delta, but accessing
the object data at all. So when we try to dig up the actual
size of the object, we'll hit that same cycle and kick in
our usual complain-and-try-another-source code.

pack-objects: enforce --depth limit in reused deltas
Since 898b14c (pack-objects: rework check_delta_limit usage,
2007-04-16), we check the delta depth limit only when
figuring out whether we should make a new delta. We don't
consider it at all when reusing deltas, which means that
packing once with --depth=250, and then again with
--depth=50, the second pack may still contain chains larger
than 50.
This is generally considered a feature, as the results of
earlier high-depth repacks are carried forward, used for
serving fetches, etc. However, since we started using
cross-pack deltas in c9af708b1 (pack-objects: use mru list
when iterating over packs, 2016-08-11), we are no longer
bounded by the length of an existing delta chain in a single
pack.
Here's one particular pathological case: a sequence of N
packs, each with 2 objects, the base of which is stored as a
delta in a previous pack. If we chain all the deltas
together, we have a cycle of length N. We break the cycle,
but the tip delta is still at depth N-1.
This is less unlikely than it might sound. See the included
test for a reconstruction based on real-world actions. I
ran into such a case in the wild, where a client was rapidly
sending packs, and we had accumulated 10,000 before doing a
server-side repack. The pack that "git repack" tried to
generate had a very deep chain, which caused pack-objects to
run out of stack space in the recursive write_one().
This patch bounds the length of delta chains in the output
pack based on --depth, regardless of whether they are caused
by cross-pack deltas or existed in the input packs. This
fixes the problem, but does have two possible downsides:
1. High-depth aggressive repacks followed by "normal"
repacks will throw away the high-depth chains.
In the long run this is probably OK; investigation
showed that high-depth repacks aren't actually
beneficial, and we dropped the aggressive depth default
to match the normal case in 07e7dbf0d (gc: default
aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11).
2. If you really do want to store high-depth deltas on
disk, they may be discarded and new delta computed when
serving a fetch, unless you set pack.depth to match
your high-depth size.
The implementation uses the existing search for delta
cycles. That lets us compute the depth of any node based on
the depth of its base, because we know the base is DFS_DONE
by the time we look at it (modulo any cycles in the graph,
but we know there cannot be any because we break them as we
see them).
There is some subtlety worth mentioning, though. We record
the depth of each object as we compute it. It might seem
like we could save the per-object storage space by just
keeping track of the depth of our traversal (i.e., have
break_delta_chains() report how deep it went). But we may
visit an object through multiple delta paths, and on
subsequent paths we want to know its depth immediately,
without having to walk back down to its final base (doing so
would make our graph walk quadratic rather than linear).
Likewise, one could try to record the depth not from the
base, but from our starting point (i.e., start
recursion_depth at 0, and pass "recursion_depth + 1" to each
invocation of break_delta_chains()). And then when
recursion_depth gets too big, we know that we must cut the
delta chain. But that technique is wrong if we do not visit
the nodes in topological order. In a chain A->B->C, it
if we visit "C", then "B", then "A", we will never recurse
deeper than 1 link (because we see at each node that we have
already visited it).

Here's one particular pathological case: a sequence of N
packs, each with 2 objects, the base of which is stored as a
delta in a previous pack. If we chain all the deltas
together, we have a cycle of length N. We break the cycle,
but the tip delta is still at depth N-1.
This is less unlikely than it might sound. See the included
test for a reconstruction based on real-world actions. I
ran into such a case in the wild, where a client was rapidly
sending packs, and we had accumulated 10,000 before doing a
server-side repack. The pack that "git repack" tried to
generate had a very deep chain, which caused pack-objects to
run out of stack space in the recursive write_one().
This patch bounds the length of delta chains in the output
pack based on --depth, regardless of whether they are caused
by cross-pack deltas or existed in the input packs. This
fixes the problem, but does have two possible downsides:
1. High-depth aggressive repacks followed by "normal"
repacks will throw away the high-depth chains.
In the long run this is probably OK; investigation
showed that high-depth repacks aren't actually
beneficial, and we dropped the aggressive depth default
to match the normal case in 07e7dbf0d (gc: default
aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11).
2. If you really do want to store high-depth deltas on
disk, they may be discarded and new delta computed when
serving a fetch, unless you set pack.depth to match
your high-depth size.
The implementation uses the existing search for delta
cycles. That lets us compute the depth of any node based on
the depth of its base, because we know the base is DFS_DONE
by the time we look at it (modulo any cycles in the graph,
but we know there cannot be any because we break them as we
see them).
There is some subtlety worth mentioning, though. We record
the depth of each object as we compute it. It might seem
like we could save the per-object storage space by just
keeping track of the depth of our traversal (i.e., have
break_delta_chains() report how deep it went). But we may
visit an object through multiple delta paths, and on
subsequent paths we want to know its depth immediately,
without having to walk back down to its final base (doing so
would make our graph walk quadratic rather than linear).
Likewise, one could try to record the depth not from the
base, but from our starting point (i.e., start
recursion_depth at 0, and pass "recursion_depth + 1" to each
invocation of break_delta_chains()). And then when
recursion_depth gets too big, we know that we must cut the
delta chain. But that technique is wrong if we do not visit
the nodes in topological order. In a chain A->B->C, it
if we visit "C", then "B", then "A", we will never recurse
deeper than 1 link (because we see at each node that we have
already visited it).

pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
We do not allow cycles in the delta graph of a pack (i.e., A
is a delta of B which is a delta of A) for the obvious
reason that you cannot actually access any of the objects in
such a case.
There's a last-ditch attempt to notice cycles during the
write phase, during which we issue a warning to the user and
write one of the objects out in full. However, this is
"last-ditch" for two reasons:
1. By this time, it's too late to find another delta for
the object, so the resulting pack is larger than it
otherwise could be.
2. The warning is there because this is something that
_shouldn't_ ever happen. If it does, then either:
a. a pack we are reusing deltas from had its own
cycle
b. we are reusing deltas from multiple packs, and
we found a cycle among them (i.e., A is a delta of
B in one pack, but B is a delta of A in another,
and we choose to use both deltas).
c. there is a bug in the delta-search code
So this code serves as a final check that none of these
things has happened, warns the user, and prevents us
from writing a bogus pack.
Right now, (2b) should never happen because of the static
ordering of packs in want_object_in_pack(). If two objects
have a delta relationship, then they must be in the same
pack, and therefore we will find them from that same pack.
However, a future patch would like to change that static
ordering, which will make (2b) a common occurrence. In
preparation, we should be able to handle those kinds of
cycles better. This patch does by introducing a
cycle-breaking step during the get_object_details() phase,
when we are deciding which deltas can be reused. That gives
us the chance to feed the objects into the delta search as
if the cycle did not exist.
We'll leave the detection and warning in the write_object()
phase in place, as it still serves as a check for case (2c).
This does mean we will stop warning for (2a). That case is
caused by bogus input packs, and we ideally would warn the
user about it. However, since those cycles show up after
picking reusable deltas, they look the same as (2b) to us;
our new code will break the cycles early and the last-ditch
check will never see them.
We could do analysis on any cycles that we find to
distinguish the two cases (i.e., it is a bogus pack if and
only if every delta in the cycle is in the same pack), but
we don't need to. If there is a cycle inside a pack, we'll
run into problems not only reusing the delta, but accessing
the object data at all. So when we try to dig up the actual
size of the object, we'll hit that same cycle and kick in
our usual complain-and-try-another-source code.

pack-objects: convert recursion to iteration in break_delta_chain()
The break_delta_chain() function is recursive over the depth
of a given delta chain, which can lead to possibly running
out of stack space. Normally delta depth is quite small, but
if there _is_ a pathological case, this is where we would
find and fix it, so we should be more careful.
We can do it without recursion at all, but there's a little
bit of cleverness needed to do so. It's easiest to explain
by covering the less-clever strategies first.
The obvious thing to try is just keeping our own stack on
the heap. Whenever we would recurse, push the new entry onto
the stack and loop instead. But this gets tricky; when we
see an ACTIVE entry, we need to care if we just pushed it
(in which case it's a cycle) or if we just popped it (in
which case we dealt with its bases, and no we need to clear
the ACTIVE flag and compute its depth).
You can hack around that in various ways, like keeping a
"just pushed" flag, but the logic gets muddled. However, we
can observe that we do all of our pushes first, and then all
of our pops afterwards. In other words, we can do this in
two passes. First dig down to the base, stopping when we see
a cycle, and pushing each item onto our stack. Then pop the
stack elements, clearing the ACTIVE flag and computing the
depth for each.
This works, and is reasonably elegant. However, why do we
need the stack for the second pass? We can just walk the
delta pointers again. There's one complication. Popping the
stack went over our list in reverse, so we could compute the
depth of each entry by incrementing the depth of its base,
which we will have just computed. To go forward in the
second pass, we have to compute the total depth on the way
down, and then assign it as we go.
This patch implements this final strategy, because it not
only keeps the memory off the stack, but it eliminates it
entirely. Credit for the cleverness in that approach goes to
Michael Haggerty; bugs are mine.

The break_delta_chain() function is recursive over the depth
of a given delta chain, which can lead to possibly running
out of stack space. Normally delta depth is quite small, but
if there _is_ a pathological case, this is where we would
find and fix it, so we should be more careful.
We can do it without recursion at all, but there's a little
bit of cleverness needed to do so. It's easiest to explain
by covering the less-clever strategies first.
The obvious thing to try is just keeping our own stack on
the heap. Whenever we would recurse, push the new entry onto
the stack and loop instead. But this gets tricky; when we
see an ACTIVE entry, we need to care if we just pushed it
(in which case it's a cycle) or if we just popped it (in
which case we dealt with its bases, and no we need to clear
the ACTIVE flag and compute its depth).
You can hack around that in various ways, like keeping a
"just pushed" flag, but the logic gets muddled. However, we
can observe that we do all of our pushes first, and then all
of our pops afterwards. In other words, we can do this in
two passes. First dig down to the base, stopping when we see
a cycle, and pushing each item onto our stack. Then pop the
stack elements, clearing the ACTIVE flag and computing the
depth for each.
This works, and is reasonably elegant. However, why do we
need the stack for the second pass? We can just walk the
delta pointers again. There's one complication. Popping the
stack went over our list in reverse, so we could compute the
depth of each entry by incrementing the depth of its base,
which we will have just computed. To go forward in the
second pass, we have to compute the total depth on the way
down, and then assign it as we go.
This patch implements this final strategy, because it not
only keeps the memory off the stack, but it eliminates it
entirely. Credit for the cleverness in that approach goes to
Michael Haggerty; bugs are mine.

pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
We do not allow cycles in the delta graph of a pack (i.e., A
is a delta of B which is a delta of A) for the obvious
reason that you cannot actually access any of the objects in
such a case.
There's a last-ditch attempt to notice cycles during the
write phase, during which we issue a warning to the user and
write one of the objects out in full. However, this is
"last-ditch" for two reasons:
1. By this time, it's too late to find another delta for
the object, so the resulting pack is larger than it
otherwise could be.
2. The warning is there because this is something that
_shouldn't_ ever happen. If it does, then either:
a. a pack we are reusing deltas from had its own
cycle
b. we are reusing deltas from multiple packs, and
we found a cycle among them (i.e., A is a delta of
B in one pack, but B is a delta of A in another,
and we choose to use both deltas).
c. there is a bug in the delta-search code
So this code serves as a final check that none of these
things has happened, warns the user, and prevents us
from writing a bogus pack.
Right now, (2b) should never happen because of the static
ordering of packs in want_object_in_pack(). If two objects
have a delta relationship, then they must be in the same
pack, and therefore we will find them from that same pack.
However, a future patch would like to change that static
ordering, which will make (2b) a common occurrence. In
preparation, we should be able to handle those kinds of
cycles better. This patch does by introducing a
cycle-breaking step during the get_object_details() phase,
when we are deciding which deltas can be reused. That gives
us the chance to feed the objects into the delta search as
if the cycle did not exist.
We'll leave the detection and warning in the write_object()
phase in place, as it still serves as a check for case (2c).
This does mean we will stop warning for (2a). That case is
caused by bogus input packs, and we ideally would warn the
user about it. However, since those cycles show up after
picking reusable deltas, they look the same as (2b) to us;
our new code will break the cycles early and the last-ditch
check will never see them.
We could do analysis on any cycles that we find to
distinguish the two cases (i.e., it is a bogus pack if and
only if every delta in the cycle is in the same pack), but
we don't need to. If there is a cycle inside a pack, we'll
run into problems not only reusing the delta, but accessing
the object data at all. So when we try to dig up the actual
size of the object, we'll hit that same cycle and kick in
our usual complain-and-try-another-source code.

pack-objects: enforce --depth limit in reused deltas
Since 898b14c (pack-objects: rework check_delta_limit usage,
2007-04-16), we check the delta depth limit only when
figuring out whether we should make a new delta. We don't
consider it at all when reusing deltas, which means that
packing once with --depth=250, and then again with
--depth=50, the second pack may still contain chains larger
than 50.
This is generally considered a feature, as the results of
earlier high-depth repacks are carried forward, used for
serving fetches, etc. However, since we started using
cross-pack deltas in c9af708b1 (pack-objects: use mru list
when iterating over packs, 2016-08-11), we are no longer
bounded by the length of an existing delta chain in a single
pack.
Here's one particular pathological case: a sequence of N
packs, each with 2 objects, the base of which is stored as a
delta in a previous pack. If we chain all the deltas
together, we have a cycle of length N. We break the cycle,
but the tip delta is still at depth N-1.
This is less unlikely than it might sound. See the included
test for a reconstruction based on real-world actions. I
ran into such a case in the wild, where a client was rapidly
sending packs, and we had accumulated 10,000 before doing a
server-side repack. The pack that "git repack" tried to
generate had a very deep chain, which caused pack-objects to
run out of stack space in the recursive write_one().
This patch bounds the length of delta chains in the output
pack based on --depth, regardless of whether they are caused
by cross-pack deltas or existed in the input packs. This
fixes the problem, but does have two possible downsides:
1. High-depth aggressive repacks followed by "normal"
repacks will throw away the high-depth chains.
In the long run this is probably OK; investigation
showed that high-depth repacks aren't actually
beneficial, and we dropped the aggressive depth default
to match the normal case in 07e7dbf0d (gc: default
aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11).
2. If you really do want to store high-depth deltas on
disk, they may be discarded and new delta computed when
serving a fetch, unless you set pack.depth to match
your high-depth size.
The implementation uses the existing search for delta
cycles. That lets us compute the depth of any node based on
the depth of its base, because we know the base is DFS_DONE
by the time we look at it (modulo any cycles in the graph,
but we know there cannot be any because we break them as we
see them).
There is some subtlety worth mentioning, though. We record
the depth of each object as we compute it. It might seem
like we could save the per-object storage space by just
keeping track of the depth of our traversal (i.e., have
break_delta_chains() report how deep it went). But we may
visit an object through multiple delta paths, and on
subsequent paths we want to know its depth immediately,
without having to walk back down to its final base (doing so
would make our graph walk quadratic rather than linear).
Likewise, one could try to record the depth not from the
base, but from our starting point (i.e., start
recursion_depth at 0, and pass "recursion_depth + 1" to each
invocation of break_delta_chains()). And then when
recursion_depth gets too big, we know that we must cut the
delta chain. But that technique is wrong if we do not visit
the nodes in topological order. In a chain A->B->C, it
if we visit "C", then "B", then "A", we will never recurse
deeper than 1 link (because we see at each node that we have
already visited it).

pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
We do not allow cycles in the delta graph of a pack (i.e., A
is a delta of B which is a delta of A) for the obvious
reason that you cannot actually access any of the objects in
such a case.
There's a last-ditch attempt to notice cycles during the
write phase, during which we issue a warning to the user and
write one of the objects out in full. However, this is
"last-ditch" for two reasons:
1. By this time, it's too late to find another delta for
the object, so the resulting pack is larger than it
otherwise could be.
2. The warning is there because this is something that
_shouldn't_ ever happen. If it does, then either:
a. a pack we are reusing deltas from had its own
cycle
b. we are reusing deltas from multiple packs, and
we found a cycle among them (i.e., A is a delta of
B in one pack, but B is a delta of A in another,
and we choose to use both deltas).
c. there is a bug in the delta-search code
So this code serves as a final check that none of these
things has happened, warns the user, and prevents us
from writing a bogus pack.
Right now, (2b) should never happen because of the static
ordering of packs in want_object_in_pack(). If two objects
have a delta relationship, then they must be in the same
pack, and therefore we will find them from that same pack.
However, a future patch would like to change that static
ordering, which will make (2b) a common occurrence. In
preparation, we should be able to handle those kinds of
cycles better. This patch does by introducing a
cycle-breaking step during the get_object_details() phase,
when we are deciding which deltas can be reused. That gives
us the chance to feed the objects into the delta search as
if the cycle did not exist.
We'll leave the detection and warning in the write_object()
phase in place, as it still serves as a check for case (2c).
This does mean we will stop warning for (2a). That case is
caused by bogus input packs, and we ideally would warn the
user about it. However, since those cycles show up after
picking reusable deltas, they look the same as (2b) to us;
our new code will break the cycles early and the last-ditch
check will never see them.
We could do analysis on any cycles that we find to
distinguish the two cases (i.e., it is a bogus pack if and
only if every delta in the cycle is in the same pack), but
we don't need to. If there is a cycle inside a pack, we'll
run into problems not only reusing the delta, but accessing
the object data at all. So when we try to dig up the actual
size of the object, we'll hit that same cycle and kick in
our usual complain-and-try-another-source code.

pack-objects: convert recursion to iteration in break_delta_chain()
The break_delta_chain() function is recursive over the depth
of a given delta chain, which can lead to possibly running
out of stack space. Normally delta depth is quite small, but
if there _is_ a pathological case, this is where we would
find and fix it, so we should be more careful.
We can do it without recursion at all, but there's a little
bit of cleverness needed to do so. It's easiest to explain
by covering the less-clever strategies first.
The obvious thing to try is just keeping our own stack on
the heap. Whenever we would recurse, push the new entry onto
the stack and loop instead. But this gets tricky; when we
see an ACTIVE entry, we need to care if we just pushed it
(in which case it's a cycle) or if we just popped it (in
which case we dealt with its bases, and no we need to clear
the ACTIVE flag and compute its depth).
You can hack around that in various ways, like keeping a
"just pushed" flag, but the logic gets muddled. However, we
can observe that we do all of our pushes first, and then all
of our pops afterwards. In other words, we can do this in
two passes. First dig down to the base, stopping when we see
a cycle, and pushing each item onto our stack. Then pop the
stack elements, clearing the ACTIVE flag and computing the
depth for each.
This works, and is reasonably elegant. However, why do we
need the stack for the second pass? We can just walk the
delta pointers again. There's one complication. Popping the
stack went over our list in reverse, so we could compute the
depth of each entry by incrementing the depth of its base,
which we will have just computed. To go forward in the
second pass, we have to compute the total depth on the way
down, and then assign it as we go.
This patch implements this final strategy, because it not
only keeps the memory off the stack, but it eliminates it
entirely. Credit for the cleverness in that approach goes to
Michael Haggerty; bugs are mine.

pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
We do not allow cycles in the delta graph of a pack (i.e., A
is a delta of B which is a delta of A) for the obvious
reason that you cannot actually access any of the objects in
such a case.
There's a last-ditch attempt to notice cycles during the
write phase, during which we issue a warning to the user and
write one of the objects out in full. However, this is
"last-ditch" for two reasons:
1. By this time, it's too late to find another delta for
the object, so the resulting pack is larger than it
otherwise could be.
2. The warning is there because this is something that
_shouldn't_ ever happen. If it does, then either:
a. a pack we are reusing deltas from had its own
cycle
b. we are reusing deltas from multiple packs, and
we found a cycle among them (i.e., A is a delta of
B in one pack, but B is a delta of A in another,
and we choose to use both deltas).
c. there is a bug in the delta-search code
So this code serves as a final check that none of these
things has happened, warns the user, and prevents us
from writing a bogus pack.
Right now, (2b) should never happen because of the static
ordering of packs in want_object_in_pack(). If two objects
have a delta relationship, then they must be in the same
pack, and therefore we will find them from that same pack.
However, a future patch would like to change that static
ordering, which will make (2b) a common occurrence. In
preparation, we should be able to handle those kinds of
cycles better. This patch does by introducing a
cycle-breaking step during the get_object_details() phase,
when we are deciding which deltas can be reused. That gives
us the chance to feed the objects into the delta search as
if the cycle did not exist.
We'll leave the detection and warning in the write_object()
phase in place, as it still serves as a check for case (2c).
This does mean we will stop warning for (2a). That case is
caused by bogus input packs, and we ideally would warn the
user about it. However, since those cycles show up after
picking reusable deltas, they look the same as (2b) to us;
our new code will break the cycles early and the last-ditch
check will never see them.
We could do analysis on any cycles that we find to

thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as base
When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try
to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate
for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg
is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it
is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did
not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack.
As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's
law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record
the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta
against it.
When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we
will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But
the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us
from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another
object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a
suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we
could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred
base object) as the delta base.
Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on
computing delta against a preferred base object.
The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack
workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git
origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git
updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much
larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to
v1.2.0, and so on.
The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU
time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch:
dataset
| reflog | tags
---------------------------------
before | 53358 | 2750977
size after | 32398 | 2668479
change | -39% | -3%
---------------------------------
before | 0.18 | 1.12
CPU after | 0.18 | 1.15
change | +0% | +3%
This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice
of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though
it has some benefit even for larger packs.

Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

pack-objects: avoid reading uninitalized data
In the main loop of find_deltas, we do:
struct object_entry *entry = *list++;
...
if (!*list_size)
...
break
Because we look at and increment *list _before_ the check of
list_size, in the very last iteration of the loop we will
look at uninitialized data, and increment the pointer beyond
one past the end of the allocated space. Since we don't
actually do anything with the data until after the check,
this is not a problem in practice.
But since it technically violates the C standard, and
because it provokes a spurious valgrind warning, let's just
move the initialization of entry to a safe place.
This fixes valgrind errors in t5300, t5301, t5302, t303, and
t9400.

pack-objects: finishing touches.
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

pack-objects: walk tag chains for --include-tag
When pack-objects is given --include-tag, it peels each tag
ref down to a non-tag object, and if that non-tag object is
going to be packed, we include the tag, too. But what
happens if we have a chain of tags (e.g., tag "A" points to
tag "B", which points to commit "C")?
We'll peel down to "C" and realize that we want to include
tag "A", but we do not ever consider tag "B", leading to a
broken pack (assuming "B" was not otherwise selected).
Instead, we have to walk the whole chain, adding any tags we
find to the pack.
Interestingly, it doesn't seem possible to trigger this
problem with "git fetch", but you can with "git clone
--single-branch". The reason is that we generate the correct
pack when the client explicitly asks for "A" (because we do
a real reachability analysis there), and "fetch" is more
willing to do so. There are basically two cases:
1. If "C" is already a ref tip, then the client can deduce
that it needs "A" itself (via find_non_local_tags), and
will ask for it explicitly rather than relying on the
include-tag capability. Everything works.
2. If "C" is not already a ref tip, then we hope for
include-tag to send us the correct tag. But it doesn't;
it generates a broken pack. However, the next step is
to do a follow-up run of find_non_local_tags(),
followed by fetch_refs() to backfill any tags we
learned about.
In the normal case, fetch_refs() calls quickfetch(),
which does a connectivity check and sees we have no
new objects to fetch. We just write the refs.
But for the broken-pack case, the connectivity check
fails, and quickfetch will follow-up with the remote,
asking explicitly for each of the ref tips. This picks
up the missing object in a new pack.
For a regular "git clone", we are similarly OK, because we
explicitly request all of the tag refs, and get a correct
pack. But with "--single-branch", we kick in tag
auto-following via "include-tag", but do _not_ do a
follow-up backfill. We just take whatever the server sent us
via include-tag and write out tag refs for any tag objects
we were sent. So prior to c6807a4 (clone: open a shortcut
for connectivity check, 2013-05-26), we actually claimed the
clone was a success, but the result was silently
corrupted! Since c6807a4, index-pack's connectivity
check catches this case, and we correctly complain.
The included test directly checks that pack-objects does not
generate a broken pack, but also confirms that "clone
--single-branch" does not hit the bug.
Note that tag chains introduce another interesting question:
if we are packing the tag "B" but not the commit "C", should
"A" be included?
Both before and after this patch, we do not include "A",
because the initial peel_ref() check only knows about the
bottom-most level, "C". To realize that "B" is involved at
all, we would have to switch to an incremental peel, in
which we examine each tagged object, asking if it is being
packed (and including the outer tag if so).
But that runs contrary to the optimizations in peel_ref(),
which avoid accessing the objects at all, in favor of using
the value we pull from packed-refs. It's OK to walk the
whole chain once we know we're going to include the tag (we
have to access it anyway, so the effort is proportional to
the pack we're generating). But for the initial selection,
we have to look at every ref. If we're only packing a few
objects, we'd still have to parse every single referenced
tag object just to confirm that it isn't part of a tag
chain.
This could be addressed if packed-refs stored the complete
tag chain for each peeled ref (in most cases, this would be
the same cost as now, as each "chain" is only a single
link). But given the size of that project, it's out of scope
for this fix (and probably nobody cares enough anyway, as
it's such an obscure situation). This commit limits itself
to just avoiding the creation of a broken pack.

pack-objects: walk tag chains for --include-tag
When pack-objects is given --include-tag, it peels each tag
ref down to a non-tag object, and if that non-tag object is
going to be packed, we include the tag, too. But what
happens if we have a chain of tags (e.g., tag "A" points to
tag "B", which points to commit "C")?
We'll peel down to "C" and realize that we want to include
tag "A", but we do not ever consider tag "B", leading to a
broken pack (assuming "B" was not otherwise selected).
Instead, we have to walk the whole chain, adding any tags we
find to the pack.
Interestingly, it doesn't seem possible to trigger this
problem with "git fetch", but you can with "git clone
--single-branch". The reason is that we generate the correct
pack when the client explicitly asks for "A" (because we do
a real reachability analysis there), and "fetch" is more
willing to do so. There are basically two cases:
1. If "C" is already a ref tip, then the client can deduce
that it needs "A" itself (via find_non_local_tags), and
will ask for it explicitly rather than relying on the
include-tag capability. Everything works.
2. If "C" is not already a ref tip, then we hope for
include-tag to send us the correct tag. But it doesn't;
it generates a broken pack. However, the next step is
to do a follow-up run of find_non_local_tags(),
followed by fetch_refs() to backfill any tags we
learned about.
In the normal case, fetch_refs() calls quickfetch(),
which does a connectivity check and sees we have no
new objects to fetch. We just write the refs.
But for the broken-pack case, the connectivity check
fails, and quickfetch will follow-up with the remote,
asking explicitly for each of the ref tips. This picks
up the missing object in a new pack.
For a regular "git clone", we are similarly OK, because we
explicitly request all of the tag refs, and get a correct
pack. But with "--single-branch", we kick in tag
auto-following via "include-tag", but do _not_ do a
follow-up backfill. We just take whatever the server sent us
via include-tag and write out tag refs for any tag objects
we were sent. So prior to c6807a4 (clone: open a shortcut
for connectivity check, 2013-05-26), we actually claimed the
clone was a success, but the result was silently
corrupted! Since c6807a4, index-pack's connectivity
check catches this case, and we correctly complain.
The included test directly checks that pack-objects does not
generate a broken pack, but also confirms that "clone
--single-branch" does not hit the bug.
Note that tag chains introduce another interesting question:
if we are packing the tag "B" but not the commit "C", should
"A" be included?
Both before and after this patch, we do not include "A",
because the initial peel_ref() check only knows about the
bottom-most level, "C". To realize that "B" is involved at
all, we would have to switch to an incremental peel, in
which we examine each tagged object, asking if it is being
packed (and including the outer tag if so).
But that runs contrary to the optimizations in peel_ref(),
which avoid accessing the objects at all, in favor of using
the value we pull from packed-refs. It's OK to walk the
whole chain once we know we're going to include the tag (we
have to access it anyway, so the effort is proportional to
the pack we're generating). But for the initial selection,
we have to look at every ref. If we're only packing a few
objects, we'd still have to parse every single referenced
tag object just to confirm that it isn't part of a tag
chain.
This could be addressed if packed-refs stored the complete
tag chain for each peeled ref (in most cases, this would be
the same cost as now, as each "chain" is only a single
link). But given the size of that project, it's out of scope
for this fix (and probably nobody cares enough anyway, as
it's such an obscure situation). This commit limits itself
to just avoiding the creation of a broken pack.

pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

close another possibility for propagating pack corruption
Abstract
--------
With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of
pack data when repacking. This, however, doesn't currently prevent a
stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_
reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included
here.
The Context
-----------
The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of
corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against
corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically
and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when
accessing the object database.
First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which
already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any
disk corruption would be caught already in this case.
Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their
actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not
deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them
vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types
are often validated against the expected type when they're requested,
and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header,
so those cases are pretty much covered as well.
Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference.
Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to
get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the
same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object
to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the
reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary
of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this
is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the
probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility
exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1
collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default
when repacking.
Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object
CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302
failed to test is a full repack in such case.
The Solution
------------
As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it
certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack.
But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost
associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore,
consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather
visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less
severe consequences than actively creating bad packs.
So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking
objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and
only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less
than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack.
Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of
this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data
corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check
is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for
corruption when recreating object data into a new pack.
What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack
must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation
anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote
repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation
in that case.

pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.
In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.
As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.
The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.
But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.
This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.
Here are perf results for p5310:

And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacks
When we find a blob at "a/b/c", we currently pass this to
our show_object_fn callbacks as two components: "a/b/" and
"c". Callbacks which want the full value then call
path_name(), which concatenates the two. But this is an
inefficient interface; the path is a strbuf, and we could
simply append "c" to it temporarily, then roll back the
length, without creating a new copy.
So we could improve this by teaching the callsites of
path_name() this trick (and there are only 3). But we can
also notice that no callback actually cares about the
broken-down representation, and simply pass each callback
the full path "a/b/c" as a string. The callback code becomes
even simpler, then, as we do not have to worry about freeing
an allocated buffer, nor rolling back our modification to
the strbuf.
This is theoretically less efficient, as some callbacks
would not bother to format the final path component. But in
practice this is not measurable. Since we use the same
strbuf over and over, our work to grow it is amortized, and
we really only pay to memcpy a few bytes.

process_{tree,blob}: show objects without buffering
Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.
I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.
Now, there are possible downsides to this:
- the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..
- this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
"process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
object together with the objects we discover under it)
I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
packing. Good or bad, I dunno.
- There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
array, that I have simply forgotten.
Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.
This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...
Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.
Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").
With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

pack-objects: refactor unpack-unreachable expiration check
When we are loosening unreachable packed objects, we do not
bother to process objects that would simply be pruned
immediately anyway. The "would be pruned" check is a simple
comparison, but is about to get more complicated. Let's pull
it out into a separate function.
Note that this is slightly less efficient than the original,
which avoided even opening old packs, since no object in
them could pass the current check, which cares only about
the pack mtime. But the new rules will depend on the exact
object, so we need to perform the check even for old packs.
Note also that we fix a minor buglet when the pack mtime is
exactly the same as the expiration time. The prune code
considers that worth pruning, whereas our check here
considered it worth keeping. This wasn't a big deal. Besides
being unlikely to happen, the result was simply that the
object was loosened and then pruned, missing the
optimization. Still, we can easily fix it while we are here.

pack-objects: do not reuse packfiles without --delta-base-offset
When we are sending a packfile to a remote, we currently try
to reuse a whole chunk of packfile without bothering to look
at the individual objects. This can make things like initial
clones much lighter on the server, as we can just dump the
packfile bytes.
However, it's possible that the other side cannot read our
packfile verbatim. For example, we may have objects stored
as OFS_DELTA, but the client is an antique version of git
that only understands REF_DELTA. We negotiate this
capability over the fetch protocol. A normal pack-objects
run will convert OFS_DELTA into REF_DELTA on the fly, but
the "reuse pack" code path never even looks at the objects.
This patch disables packfile reuse if the other side is
missing any capabilities that we might have used in the
on-disk pack. Right now the only one is OFS_DELTA, but we
may need to expand in the future (e.g., if packv4 introduces
new object types).
We could be more thorough and only disable reuse in this
case when we actually have an OFS_DELTA to send, but:
1. We almost always will have one, since we prefer
OFS_DELTA to REF_DELTA when possible. So this case
would almost never come up.
2. Looking through the objects defeats the purpose of the
optimization, which is to do as little work as possible
to get the bytes to the remote.

pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.

pack-objects: disable pack reuse for object-selection options
If certain options like --honor-pack-keep, --local, or
--incremental are used with pack-objects, then we need to
feed each potential object to want_object_in_pack() to see
if it should be filtered out. But when the bitmap
reuse_packfile optimization is in effect, we do not call
that function at all, and in fact skip adding the objects to
the to_pack list entirely. This means we have a bug: for
certain requests we will silently ignore those options and
include objects in that pack that should not be there.
The problem has been present since the inception of the
pack-reuse code in 6b8fda2db (pack-objects: use bitmaps when
packing objects, 2013-12-21), but it was unlikely to come up
in practice. These options are generally used for on-disk
packing, not transfer packs (which go to stdout), but we've
never allowed pack reuse for non-stdout packs (until
645c432d6, we did not even use bitmaps, which the reuse
optimization relies on; after that, we explicitly turned it
off when not packing to stdout).
We can fix this by just disabling the reuse_packfile
optimization when the options are in use. In theory we could
teach the pack-reuse code to satisfy these checks, but it's
not worth the complexity. The purpose of the optimization is
to keep the amount of per-object work we do to a minimum.
But these options inherently require us to search for other
copies of each object, drowning out any benefit of the
pack-reuse optimization. But note that the optimizations
from 56dfeb626 (pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep
early, 2016-07-29) happen before pack-reuse, meaning that
specifying "--honor-pack-keep" in a repository with no .keep
files can still follow the fast path.
There are tests in t5310 that check these options with
bitmaps and --stdout, but they didn't catch the bug, and
it's hard to adapt them to do so.
One problem is that they don't use --delta-base-offset;
without that option, we always disable the reuse
optimization entirely. It would be fine to add it in (it
actually makes the test more realistic), but that still
isn't quite enough.
The other problem is that the reuse code is very picky; it
only kicks in when it can reuse most of a pack, starting
from the first byte. So we'd have to start from a fully
repacked and bitmapped state to trigger it. But the tests
for these options use a much more subtle state; they want to
be sure that the want_object_in_pack() code is allowing some
objects but not others. Doing a full repack runs counter to
that.
So this patch adds new tests at the end of the script which
create the fully-packed state and make sure that each option
is not fooled by reusable pack.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various

something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacks
When we find a blob at "a/b/c", we currently pass this to
our show_object_fn callbacks as two components: "a/b/" and
"c". Callbacks which want the full value then call
path_name(), which concatenates the two. But this is an
inefficient interface; the path is a strbuf, and we could
simply append "c" to it temporarily, then roll back the
length, without creating a new copy.
So we could improve this by teaching the callsites of
path_name() this trick (and there are only 3). But we can
also notice that no callback actually cares about the
broken-down representation, and simply pass each callback
the full path "a/b/c" as a string. The callback code becomes
even simpler, then, as we do not have to worry about freeing
an allocated buffer, nor rolling back our modification to
the strbuf.
This is theoretically less efficient, as some callbacks
would not bother to format the final path component. But in
practice this is not measurable. Since we use the same
strbuf over and over, our work to grow it is amortized, and
we really only pay to memcpy a few bytes.

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when we see --shallow lines
Reachability bitmaps do not work with shallow operations,
because they cache a view of the object reachability that
represents the true objects. Whereas a shallow repository
(or a shallow operation in a repository) is inherently
cutting off the object graph with a graft.
We explicitly disallow the use of bitmaps in shallow
repositories by checking is_repository_shallow(), and we
should continue to do that. However, we also want to
disallow bitmaps when we are serving a fetch to a shallow
client, since we momentarily take on their grafted view of
the world.
It used to be enough to call is_repository_shallow at the
start of pack-objects. Upload-pack wrote the other side's
shallow state to a temporary file and pointed the whole
pack-objects process at this state with "git --shallow-file",
and from the perspective of pack-objects, we really were
in a shallow repo. But since b790e0f (upload-pack: send
shallow info over stdin to pack-objects, 2014-03-11), we do
it differently: we send --shallow lines to pack-objects over
stdin, and it registers them itself.
This means that our is_repository_shallow check is way too
early (we have not been told about the shallowness yet), and
that it is insufficient (calling is_repository_shallow is
not enough, as the shallow grafts we register do not change
its return value). Instead, we can just turn off bitmaps
explicitly when we see these lines.

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").
With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").
With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \

patch to disable it]

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.
The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:
- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
emitted to pack in suboptimal order).
- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).
Jeff King further explains:
The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
"careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
"git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
responsibility for verifying the data.
But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
pack index.
So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
traversal.
So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:
- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:
See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.
- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:
The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
simultaneously with two bitmap indices.
We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
bitmap tail - not in recency order.
So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.
- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:
Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
friends.
( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )
This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:
erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
repository managed by git-backup[2] via
time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack
before: 37.2s
after: 26.2s
And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git
time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack
before: 7.1s
after: 3.6s
i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.
git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.
[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup
NOTE
Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.
NOTE2
`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:
$ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m22.309s
user 0m21.148s
sys 0m0.932s
$ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack
real 0m50.873s <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
user 0m49.300s
sys 0m1.360s
So the time for
`pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack` is 72s,
while
`pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index is 27s.
And even
`pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack` is 37s.
Jeff explains:
The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
all of the deltas.
that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.
NOTE3
The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:

pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
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`.

pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
In want_object_in_pack(), we can exit early from our loop if
neither "local" nor "ignore_pack_keep" are set. If they are,
however, we must examine each pack to see if it has the
object and is non-local or has a ".keep".
It's quite common for there to be no non-local or .keep
packs at all, in which case we know ahead of time that
looking further will be pointless. We can pre-compute this
by simply iterating over the list of packs ahead of time,
and dropping the flags if there are no packs that could
match.
Another similar strategy would be to modify the loop in
want_object_in_pack() to notice that we have already found
the object once, and that we are looping only to check for
"local" and "keep" attributes. If a pack has neither of
those, we can skip the call to find_pack_entry_one(), which
is the expensive part of the loop.
This has two advantages:
- it isn't all-or-nothing; we still get some improvement
when there's a small number of kept or non-local packs,
and a large number of non-kept local packs
- it eliminates any possible race where we add new
non-local or kept packs after our initial scan. In
practice, I don't think this race matters; we already
cache the packed_git information, so somebody who adds a
new pack or .keep file after we've started will not be
noticed at all, unless we happen to need to call
reprepare_packed_git() because a lookup fails.
In other words, we're already racy, and the race is not
a big deal (losing the race means we might include an
object in the pack that would not otherwise be, which is
an acceptable outcome).
However, it also has a disadvantage: we still loop over the
rest of the packs for each object to check their flags. This
is much less expensive than doing the object lookup, but
still not free. So if we wanted to implement that strategy
to cover the non-all-or-nothing cases, we could do so in
addition to this one (so you get the most speedup in the
all-or-nothing case, and the best we can do in the other
cases). But given that the all-or-nothing case is likely the
most common, it is probably not worth the trouble, and we
can revisit this later if evidence points otherwise.

pack-objects: finishing touches.
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.
