Singh" Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org V5 changes: * Remove 'local-with-assignment' from perf-lib.sh * Add a new patch to put an ODB transaction around add_files_to_cache. * Move the perf tests to t/perf/p0008-odb-fsync.sh and add more perf tests. V4 changes: * Make ODB transactions nestable. * Add an ODB transaction around writing out the cached tree. * Change update-index to use a more straightforward way of managing ODB transactions. * Fix missing 'local's in lib-unique-files * Add a per-iteration setup mechanism to test_perf. * Fix camelCasing in warning message. V3 changes: * Rebrand plug/unplug-bulk-checkin to "begin_odb_transaction" and "end_odb_transaction" * Add a patch to pass filenames to fsync_or_die, rather than the string "loose object" * Update the commit description for "core.fsyncmethod to explain why we do not directly expose objects until an fsync occurs. * Also explain in the commit description why we're using a dummy file for the fsync. * Create the bulk-fsync tmp-objdir lazily the first time a loose object is added. We now do fsync iff that objdir exists. * Do batch fsync if core.fsyncMethod=batch and core.fsync contains loose-object, regardless of the core.fsyncObjectFiles setting. * Mitigate the risk in update-index of an object not being visible due to bulk checkin. * Add a perf comment to justify the unpack-objects usage of bulk-checkin. * Add a new patch to create helpers for parsing OIDs from git commands. * Add a comment to the lib-unique-files.sh helper about uniqueness only within a repo. * Fix style and add '&&' chaining to test helpers. * Comment on some magic numbers in tests. * Take the object list as an argument in ./t5300-pack-object.sh:check_unpack () * Drop accidental change to t/perf/perf-lib.sh V2 changes: * Change doc to indicate that only some repo updates are batched * Null and zero out control variables in do_batch_fsync under unplug_bulk_checkin * Make batch mode default on Windows. * Update the description for the initial patch that cleans up the bulk-checkin infrastructure. * Rebase onto 'seen' at 0cac37f38f9. --Original definition-- When core.fsync includes loose-object, we issue an fsync after every written object. For a 'git-add' or similar command that adds a lot of files to the repo, the costs of these fsyncs adds up. One major factor in this cost is the time it takes for the physical storage controller to flush its caches to durable media. This series takes advantage of the writeout-only mode of git_fsync to issue OS cache writebacks for all of the objects being added to the repository followed by a single fsync to a dummy file, which should trigger a filesystem log flush and storage controller cache flush. This mechanism is known to be safe on common Windows filesystems and expected to be safe on macOS. Some linux filesystems, such as XFS, will probably do the right thing as well. See [1] for previous discussion on the predecessor of this patch series. This series is important on Windows, where loose-objects are included in the fsync set by default in Git-For-Windows. In this series, I'm also setting the default mode for Windows to turn on loose object fsyncing with batch mode, so that we can get CI coverage of the actual git-for-windows configuration upstream. We still don't actually issue fsyncs for the test suite since GIT_TEST_FSYNC is set to 0, but we exercise all of the surrounding batch mode code. This work is based on 'next' at c54b8eb302. It's dependent on ns/core-fsyncmethod.
