unpack-trees: Make index lookahead less pessimal
When traversing trees with an index, the current index pointer
(o->cache_bottom) occasionally has to be temporarily advanced forwards to
match the traversal order of the tree, which is not the same as the sort
order of the index. The existing algorithm that did this (introduced in
730f72840cc50c523fe4cdd796ea2d2fc4571a28) would get "stuck" when the
cache_bottom was popped and then repeatedly check the same index entries
over and over. This represents a serious performance regression for
large repositories compared to the old "broken" traversal order.
This commit makes a simple change to mitigate this. Whenever
find_cache_pos sees that the current pos is also the cache_bottom, and
it has already been unpacked, it advances the cache_bottom as well as
the current pos. This prevents the above "sticking" behavior without
dramatically changing the algorithm.
In addition, this commit moves the unpacked check above the
ce_in_traverse_path() check. The simple bitmask check is cheaper, and
in the case described above will be firing quite a bit to advance the
cache_bottom after a tree pop.
This yields considerable performance improvements for large trees.
The following are the number of function calls for "git diff HEAD" on
the Linux kernel tree, with 33,307 files:
Symbol Calls Before Calls After
------------------- ------------ -----------
unpack_callback 35,332 35,332
find_cache_pos 37,357 37,357
ce_in_traverse_path 4,979,473 37,357
do_compare_entry 6,828,181 251,925
df_name_compare 6,828,181 251,925
And on a repository of 187,456 files:
Symbol Calls Before Calls After
------------------- ------------ -----------
unpack_callback 197,958 197,958
find_cache_pos 208,460 208,460
ce_in_traverse_path 37,308,336 208,460
do_compare_entry 156,950,469 2,690,626
df_name_compare 156,950,469 2,690,626
On the latter repository, user time for "git diff HEAD" was reduced from
5.58 to 0.42 seconds. This is compared to 0.30 seconds before the
traversal order fix was implemented.
