implement support for commit coloring in got-read-pack for speed

ok op, tracey


Omar Polo

build with -Wwrite-strings

Throwing this into the mix for a while, we can always get rid of it again if it becomes annoying. No objections from stsp@



Omar Polo

build with -Wmissing-prototypes

ok stsp@


Stefan Sperling

let got-read-pack be explicit about whether it could enumerate all objects

This allows the main process to avoid looping over all object IDs again in case the pack file used for enumeration is complete. ok op@



Stefan Sperling

Bring back object enumeration inside got-read-pack as a fast path.

The problem that was found in the earlier version has been fixed. ok op@


Stefan Sperling

revert object enumeration in got-read-pack for now; needs more work

This implementation marked commits and trees as enumerated before all trees which they depend on were enumerated. This behaviour leads to incomplete pack files when a tree is only partially packed and got-read-pack hits a missing tree entry as a result. The algorithm must be reworked such that packed leave nodes are marked enumerated first, then bubble-up. Found by op@


Stefan Sperling

free id and path in load_packed_tree_ids() on error, else they would leak

pointed out by op@


Stefan Sperling

implement object enumeration support in got-read-pack

ok op@


Stefan Sperling

fix a bug in findwixt() which caused pack files with missing parent commits

The 'nskip' variable is supposed to reflect commits which are waiting on the queue and have the 'skip' color. Only increment 'nskip' when adding such commits to the queue. Problem observed with got send -T and a tag pointing to a deleted branch. Test to reproduce the bug written by op@.


Omar Polo

use random seeds for murmurhash2

change the three hardcoded seeds to fresh ones generated on demand via arc4random. Suggested/fixed by and ok stsp@

Stefan Sperling

shrink struct got_pack_meta a bit by removing the have_reused_delta flag

This flag can be expressed as m->reused_delta_offset != 0 because all deltas in valid pack files will be written at a non-zero offset. We allocate a huge number of these structs during packing, so every little bit helps.


Stefan Sperling

reduce the amount of memory used for caching deltas during deltification

With files sorted properly for deltification we produce better deltas but end up consuming more memory and risk running into OpenBSD ulimits during packing. To compensate, reduce the threshold for the amount of delta data we store in memory, spooling more deltas into the cache file. ok op@


Stefan Sperling

store a path hash instead of a verbatim path in pack meta data

This reduces memory use by gotadmin pack. The goal is to sort files which share a path next to each other for deltification. A hash of the path is good enough for this purpose and consumes less memory than a verbatim copy of the path. Git does something similar. ok op@


Stefan Sperling

fix paths stored in pack meta data, improving file deltification

The old code was broken and stored an empty path or filenames, instead of a repository-relative path. Which means we didn't sort files for deltification as was intended. Fixing this provides much better deltas in large pack files written by gotadmin pack -a. In my test case, pack size changed from 2GB to 1.5GB. ok op@



Stefan Sperling

map delta cache file into memory if possible while writing a pack file

with a fix from + ok op@


Stefan Sperling

fix load_object_ids() such that packing tags works if zero commits are packed

reported by jrick and op


Stefan Sperling

run the search for deltas to reuse in got-read-pack

This significantly speeds up the deltification step of packing by avoiding imsg traffic. gotadmin no longer requests individual raw deltas from got-read-pack to check whether it can reuse them. Instead, got-read-pack obtains a list of objects we want to pack, and hands back the list of all deltas in its pack file which can be reused. Messages are now batched such that imsg buffers are filled as much as possible. Another advantage is that deltas we are not going to reuse will no longer be written to the delta cache file, saving disk space. Before this patch, any raw delta candidate was written to the delta cache file by got-read-pack, and the decision whether to reuse the delta happened afterwards in the gotadmin process. Code for reading individual raw deltas is now unused and could be removed at some point. ok op@




Stefan Sperling

store deltas in compressed form while packing, both in memory and cache file

This reduces memory and disk space consumption during packing. with tweaks + memleak on error fix from op@ ok op@


Stefan Sperling

avoid subtraction of values larger than int in qsort(3) comparison callbacks

tweak + ok tb@
