Introduce a command-line flag and configuration variable to fill in the
'max_new_filters' variable introduced by the previous patch.

The command-line option '--max-new-filters' takes precedence over
'commitGraph.maxNewFilters', which is the default value.
'--no-max-new-filters' can also be provided, which sets the value back
to '-1', indicating that an unlimited number of new Bloom filters may be
generated. (OPT_INTEGER only allows setting the '--no-' variant back to
'0', hence a custom callback was used instead).

git_test_write_commit_graph_or_die() invokes
write_commit_graph_reachable() with opts=0x0, so 'ctx->opts' is NULL,
and we get segfault.  This breaks a lot of tests when run with
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS=1.

Here, you are creating a distinction between an "empty" filter and
a "too large" filter at a place that I don't think is important.

For instance, this code will be triggered by "git log -- <path>"
but you only care about the filter being too large when writing the
commit-graph. I think this check for a "too large" filter should
instead be inside get_or_compute_bloom_filter(). I include a patch
below that applies on top of tb/bloom-improvements that gets to
my point (and how minor the issue might be).

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] commit-graph: lazy-load large Bloom filter bitmap

The bloom_large bitmap in struct commit_graph is currently loaded
immediately upon first parse of the commit-graph file (when the chunk
exists). This is needed because the current implementation of
get_bloom_filter_from_graph() is special-cased to return NULL when the
filter is marked as "too large".

This has a slight drawback: before we can read a single commit out of
the commit-graph file, we need to load this entire chunk into memory.
This happens even for commands that don't need changed-path Bloom
filters, such as "git log -1".

This "too large" information is only used when writing a commit-graph
file, so we can delay the check for a large filter until after we check
compute_if_not_present in get_or_compute_bloom_filter(). Also, place
that lazy-load directly in the get_bloom_filter_large_in_graph() method,
so we ensure it is ready when needed.

This may be overkill. For a repository with one million commits, this
filter size is approximately 125 *kilobytes* of data. My local
measurements found that this took between 1 and 2 milliseconds to load
into memory. Even for repositories with 10 million commits, this
difference would not be noticeable for end-user commands.

On the other hand, these handfuls of milliseconds could add up when
running a hosting service using Git, so this extra effort is probably
worth it.

That's a good point. I factored the lazy-loading out in basically the
same way that you did below, but didn't move this call out of
'load_bloom_filter_from_graph'. I think that you're right that this is
better at the calling end (replacing the 'start_index == end_index'
check with a '!filter->len' one instead).

I'm going to "ignore" this patch below since I (a) already have it
locally, and (b) would rather just do this correctly the first time than
introduce and subsequently fix a performance regression.

Great catch, thanks. Fixing this is as simple as adding 'ctx->opts &&'
right before we dereference 'ctx->opts', since setting this variable
equal to 'ctx->commits.nr' is the right thing to do in that case.

Unrelated to this comment, I am hoping to send out a final version of
this series sometime next week so that we can keep moving forward with
Bloom filter improvements.

Have you had a chance to review the rest of the patches? I'll happily
wait until you have had a chance to do so before sending v5 so that we
can avoid a v6.

Thanks,
Taylor

That would avoid the segfault, sure, but I would rather see all
callers of write_commit_graph{_reachable}() passing a valid opts
instance.  Just like we don't call the diff machinery with a NULL
diff_options, or the revision walking machinery with a NULL rev_info.

'max_new_filters' is introduced in this patch.

What "filters"?  While misnamed, the '--changed-paths' options did a
good job at hiding the implementation detail that we use Bloom filters
to speed up pathspec-limited revision walks; as far as I remember this
was a conscious design decision.  Including "filter" in the name of
the option and corresponding config variable goes against this
decision.  Furthermore, by not being specific we might end up in abad
situation when adding some other filters to the commit-graph format.
Unfortunately, I can't offhand propose a better option name, all my
ideas were horrible.

I think this description should also detail what happens with those
commits for which no modified path Bloom filters are calculated, and
which commands will calculate them (even implicitly).

I don't understand what the second part of this comment is trying to
say; and real-world graphs might very well contain Bloom filters with
more than 512 modified paths, because the applying that limit was
buggy.

Forgot the most important thing: Why?  Please explain in the commit
message why this option is necesary, what problems does it solve,
how it is supposed to interact with other options and why so.

closer.  Consider this test with a bit of makeshift tracing:

See how the third write with '--max-new-filters=2' computes the
filters that have already been computed by the first write instead of
those two that have never been computed?  And then how the fourth
write computes filters that have already been computed by the second
write?  And ultimately we'll need a write without '--max-new-filters' (or
with '--max-new-filters=<large-enough>') to compute all remaining
filters.

With '--split=replace' it appears to work as expected.

I wouldn't mind that either, but this is definitely a common pattern
throughout the commit-graph machinery. So, if/when we do get away from
it, I'd rather do so uniformly than in some spots.

Sorry, I clearly had too much on my mind when I was writing this ;). I'm
hopeful that with your careful review that v4 will be the last of this
topic.

I don't disagree, but I can't come up with a better name either.
maxNewChangedPaths? maxNewSomething? I don't know. Usually I think
exposing this sort of detail is smelly, but I'm not so bothered by it
here. Similarly, this thread has been around for a while, and nobody
else has suggested a better name, so, I'm inclined to keep it.

I'm trying to say that there is room for us to improve when we do and
don't recompute filters when the limit on the number of changed paths
deviates between layers, but that such deviations don't currently exist
in the wild.

Bugs are another thing, but we can't tell that they exist without
recomputing every filter.

Thanks,

This is already explained in detail in the patch 'commit-graph: add
large-filters bitmap chunk', although there is an error in the quoted
part of your email (which I wrote) which refers the reader to the
previous patch. The patch I'm actually referring two is the
twice-previous patch.

I'll fix that locally before re-sending.

Thanks,
Taylor

Ouch. This definitely has to do with the empty commits, since swapping
out your 'git commit ... --allow-empty' for a 'test_commit' produces the
output that you'd expect.

> With '--split=replace' it appears to work as expected.

This is definitely the critical bit. The crux of the issue is that
'copy_oids_to_commits()' handles split and non-split graphs differently.
The critical bits here are:

  * 43d3561805 (commit-graph write: don't die if the existing graph is
    corrupt, 2019-03-25) which forces the relevant data to *not* be
    loaded from an existing commit-graph, and

  * 8a6ac287b2 (builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce split strategy
    'replace', 2020-04-13), which does load data from an existing
    commit-graph with '--split=replace'.

When writing a graph with '--split=replace', commits are loaded from the
graph, which includes setting their '->graph_pos' (or rather setting
this data in a commit slab, which is I guess how it's done these days).
Without '--split=replace', the graph position will never be set.

So, by the time we get to 'get_bloom_filter_large_in_graph', the graph
position is 'COMMIT_NOT_FROM_GRAPH', which in turn forces us to
recompute the filter from scratch, since we assume that being
'NOT_FROM_GRAPH' implies that we won't find it in any 'BFXL' chunk.

Regardless of whether or not we should be trusting the parentage
information on-disk, recomputing the Bloom filters from scratch is
simply too expensive (and the opposite of the point of this series). So,
doing the following to force 'get_bloom_filter_large_in_graph' to lookup
the Bloom and BFXL data in a commit graph by forcibly loading its graph
position is the right thing to do.

This is sufficient to get us unstuck:

is a good idea to harden what you wrote in your t9999 into an actual
test to prevent against regression. I'll fold both of those into this
patch.

Thanks for the bug report. It led to an interesting investigation as a
result :).

Thanks,

The proposed log message of that patch only briefly mentions what this
option will do, and goes into detail about what problems it _causes_
and how that new chunk is supposed to solve _those_ problems.  It does
not explain what problems this new option is supposed to solve, and
why would anyone want to use this option.
