Becker" , Bagas Sanjaya , "Neeraj K. Singh" , Neeraj Singh Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org From: Neeraj Singh From: Neeraj Singh When adding many objects to a repo with core.fsyncObjectFiles set to true, the cost of fsync'ing each object file can become prohibitive. One major source of the cost of fsync is the implied flush of the hardware writeback cache within the disk drive. Fortunately, Windows, macOS, and Linux each offer mechanisms to write data from the filesystem page cache without initiating a hardware flush. This patch introduces a new 'core.fsyncObjectFiles = batch' option that takes advantage of the bulk-checkin infrastructure to batch up hardware flushes. When the new mode is enabled we do the following for new objects: 1. Create a tmp_obj_XXXX file and write the object data to it. 2. Issue a pagecache writeback request and wait for it to complete. 3. Record the tmp name and the final name in the bulk-checkin state for later rename. At the end of the entire transaction we: 1. Issue a fsync against the lock file to flush the hardware writeback cache, which should by now have processed the tmp file writes. 2. Rename all of the temp files to their final names. 3. When updating the index and/or refs, we assume that Git will issue another fsync internal to that operation. On a filesystem with a singular journal that is updated during name operations (e.g. create, link, rename, etc), such as NTFS and HFS+, we would expect the fsync to trigger a journal writeout so that this sequence is enough to ensure that the user's data is durable by the time the git command returns. This change also updates the macOS code to trigger a real hardware flush via fnctl(fd, F_FULLFSYNC) when fsync_or_die is called. Previously, on macOS there was no guarantee of durability since a simple fsync(2) call does not flush any hardware caches. _Performance numbers_: Linux - Hyper-V VM running Kernel 5.11 (Ubuntu 20.04) on a fast SSD. Mac - macOS 11.5.1 running on a Mac mini on a 1TB Apple SSD. Windows - Same host as Linux, a preview version of Windows 11. This number is from a patch later in the series.
