* Plug a resource leak in threaded pack-objects code.Johannes Sixt2007-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | A mutex and a condition variable is allocated for each thread and torn down when the thread terminates. However, for certain workloads it can happen that some threads are actually not started at all. In this case we would leak the mutex and condition variable. Now we allocate them only for those threads that are actually started. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* threaded pack-objects: Use condition variables for thread communication.Johannes Sixt2007-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the threaded pack-objects code the main thread and the worker threads must mutually signal that they have assigned a new pack of work or have completed their work, respectively. Previously, the code used mutexes that were locked in one thread and unlocked from a different thread, which is bogus (and happens to work on Linux). Here we rectify the implementation by using condition variables: There is one condition variable on which the main thread waits until a thread requests new work; and each worker thread has its own condition variable on which it waits until it is assigned new work or signaled to terminate. As a cleanup, the worker threads are spawned only after the initial work packages have been assigned.

* pack-objects: more threaded load balancing fix with often changed pathsNicolas Pitre2007-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | The code that splits the object list amongst work threads tries to do so on "path" boundaries not to prevent good delta matches. However, in some cases, a few paths may largely dominate the hash distribution and it is not possible to have good load balancing without ignoring those boundaries.

* pack-objects: fix threaded load balancingNicolas Pitre2007-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current method consists of a master thread serving chunks of objects to work threads when they're done with their previous chunk. The issue is to determine the best chunk size: making it too large creates poor load balancing, while making it too small has a negative effect on pack size because of the increased number of chunk boundaries and poor delta window utilization. This patch implements a completely different approach by initially splitting the work in large chunks uniformly amongst all threads, and whenever a thread is done then it steals half of the remaining work from another thread with the largest amount of unprocessed objects. This has the advantage of greatly reducing the number of chunk boundaries with an almost perfect load balancing.

* pack-objects: reverse the delta search sort listNicolas Pitre2007-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is currently sorted and then walked backward. Not only this doesn't feel natural for my poor brain, but it would make the next patch less obvious as well. So reverse the sort order, and reverse the list walking direction, which effectively produce the exact same end result as before. Also bring the relevant comment nearer the actual code and adjust it accordingly, with minor additional clarifications.

* Fix rev-list when showing objects involving submodulesLinus Torvalds2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function mark_tree_uninteresting() assumed that the tree entries are blob when they are not trees. This is not so. Since we do not traverse into submodules (yet), the gitlinks should be ignored. In general, we should try to start moving away from using the "S_ISLNK()" like things for internal git state. It was a mistake to just assume the numbers all were same across all systems in the first place. This implementation converts to the "object_type", and then uses a case statement.

* | fix const issues with some functionsNicolas Pitre2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of, and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const pointers. Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first argument is returned since that argument is also marked const. The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers, avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

* | Keep last used delta base in the delta windowJunio C Hamano2007-09-01
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is based on Martin Koegler's idea to keep the object that was successfully used as the base of the delta when it is about to fall off the edge of the window. Instead of doing so only for the objects at the edge of the window, this makes the window a lru eviction mechanism. If an entry is used as a base, it is moved to the last of the queue to be evicted. This is a quick-and-dirty implementation, as it keeps the original implementation of the data structure used for the window. This originally was done as an array, not as an array of pointers, because it was meant to be used as a cyclic FIFO buffer and a plain array avoids an extra pointer indirection, while its FIFOness eant that we are not "moving" the entries like this patch does. The runtime from three versions were comparable. It seems to make the resulting chain even shorter, which can only be good.

* Add pack-objects window memory usage limitBrian Downing2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds an option (--window-memory=N) and configuration variable (pack.windowMemory = N) to limit the memory size of the pack-objects delta search window. This works by removing the oldest unpacked objects whenever the total size goes above the limit. It will always leave at least one object, though, so as not to completely eliminate the possibility of computing deltas. This is an extra limit on top of the normal window size (--window=N); the window will not dynamically grow above the fixed number of entries specified to fill the memory limit. With this, repacking a repository with a mix of large and small objects is possible even with a very large window. Cleaner and correct circular buffer handling courtesy of Nicolas Pitre.

* Don't try to delta if target is much smaller than sourceBrian Downing2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new try_delta heuristic. Don't bother trying to make a delta if the target object size is much smaller (currently 1/32) than the source, as it's very likely not going to get a match. Even if it does, you will have to read at least 32x the size of the new file to reassemble it, which isn't such a good deal. This leads to a considerable performance improvement when deltifying a mix of small and large files with a very large window, because you don't have to wait for the large files to percolate out of the window before things start going fast again.

* apply delta depth bias to already deltified objectsNicolas Pitre2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We already apply a bias on the initial delta attempt with max_size being a function of the base object depth. This has the effect of favoring shallower deltas even if deeper deltas could be smaller, and therefore creating a wider delta tree (see commits 4e8da195 and c3b06a69). This principle should also be applied to all delta attempts for the same object and not only the first attempt. With this the criteria for the best delta is not only its size but also its depth, so that a shallower delta might be selected even if it is larger than a deeper one. Even if some deltas get larger, they allow for wider delta trees making the depth limit less quickly reached and therefore better deltas can be subsequently found, keeping the resulting pack size even smaller. Runtime access to the pack should also benefit from shallower deltas. Testing on different repositories showed slighter faster repacks, smaller resulting packs, and a much nicer curve for delta depth distribution with no more peak at the maximum depth level. Improvements are even more significant with smaller depth limits. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two issues here: 1) git-repack -a --max-pack-size=10 on the GIT repo dies pretty quick. There is a lot of confusion about deltas that were suposed to be reused from another pack but that get stored undeltified due to pack limit and object size doesn't match entry->size anymore. This test is not really worth the complexity for determining when it is valid so get rid of it. 2) If pack limit is reached, the object buffer is freed, including when it comes from a cached delta data. In practice the object will be stored in a subsequent pack undeltified, but let's make sure no pointer to freed data subsists by clearing entry->delta_data.
