17 years agoDon't allow fast-import tree delta chains to exceed maximum depth
Shawn O. Pearce [Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:48:42 +0000 (23:48 -0500)]
Don't allow fast-import tree delta chains to exceed maximum depth

Brian Downing noticed fast-import can produce tree depths of up
to 6,035 objects and even deeper.  Long delta chains can create
very small packfiles but cause problems during repacking as git
needs to unpack each tree to count the reachable blobs.

What's happening here is the active branch cache isn't big enough.
We're swapping out the branch and thus recycling the tree information
(struct tree_content) back into the free pool.  When we later reload
the tree we set the delta_depth to 0 but we kept the tree we just
reloaded as a delta base.

So if the tree we reloaded was already at the maximum depth we
wouldn't know it and make the new tree a delta.  Multiply the
number of times the branch cache has to swap out the tree times
max_depth (10) and you get the maximum delta depth of a tree created
by fast-import.  In Brian's case above the active branch cache had
to swap the branch out 603/604 times during this import to produce
a tree with a delta depth of 6035.

Fix memory leak in traverse_commit_list

If we were listing objects too then the objects were buffered in an
array only reachable from a stack allocated structure.  When this
function returns that array would be leaked as nobody would have
a reference to it anymore.

Historically this hasn't been a problem as the primary user of
traverse_commit_list() (the noble git-rev-list) would terminate
as soon as the function was finished, thus allowing the operating
system to cleanup memory.  However we have been leaking this data
in git-pack-objects ever since that program learned how to run the
revision listing internally, rather than relying on reading object
names from git-rev-list.

To better facilitate reuse of traverse_commit_list during other
builtin tools (such as git-fetch) we shouldn't leak temporary memory
like this and instead we need to clean up properly after ourselves.

the imported SVN revision against our HEAD, not the last tree we

Linus Torvalds [Sat, 20 Oct 2007 19:31:31 +0000 (12:31 -0700)]
Fix diffcore-break total breakage

Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow"
doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of
files got renamed in very special ways.

In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames
that looked basically like

 - rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h"
 - create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or
   "filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit.

which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together.

Now, there's two issues here:

 - "filename.c" *remained*. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file
   created with the old name in the same commit. This was important,
   because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was
   bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create
   helper file" into another was *not* an option.

   So we need to break associations where the contents change too much.
   Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the
   rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better
   alternatives.

 - "git log --follow" didn't with with -B.

Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt"
structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for
showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial
one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts
to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works
fine:

diff --git a/tree-diff.c b/tree-diff.c
index 26bdbdd..7c261fd 100644
--- a/tree-diff.c
+++ b/tree-diff.c
@@ -319,6 +319,7 @@ static void try_to_follow_renames(struct tree_desc *t1, struct tree_desc *t2, co
  diff_opts.detect_rename = DIFF_DETECT_RENAME;
  diff_opts.output_format = DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT;
  diff_opts.single_follow = opt->paths[0];
+ diff_opts.break_opt = opt->break_opt;
  paths[0] = NULL;
  diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts);
  if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0)

however, the end result does *not* work. Because our diffcore-break.c
logic is totally bogus!

In particular:

 - it used to do

if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE)
return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair */

   which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that
   "base_size" is the *smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some
   large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we
   would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the
   break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other
   side was ten times bigger and looked *nothing* like the samell file!

   That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that
   we compare the *bigger* of the filepair with the break size.

 - It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it
   back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was *so*
   different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't
   consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added

if (*merge_score_p > break_score)
return 1;

   to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it
   was *definitely* a break.

 - It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and
   deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the
   damage score with

delta_size = src_removed + literal_added;
damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size;

   but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in
   a number that is *bigger* than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is
   (again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out
   from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and
   remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the
   damage!

   Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which
   point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole.

With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for
the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now

git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S

actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in
general, by doing a full-history

git log --stat -B -C

on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code.

There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates
much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename
candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output:

Fix directory scanner to correctly ignore files without d_type

That happened in the case of a pathname that was ignored, and we did
not ask for "dir->show_ignored". That test used to be *together*
with the "DTYPE(de) != DT_DIR", but splitting the two tests up
means that we can do that (common) test before we even bother to
calculate the real dtype.

Of course, that optimization only matters for systems that don't
have, or don't fill in DTYPE properly.

I also clarified the real relationship between "exclude" and
"dir->show_ignored". It used to do

if (exclude != dir->show_ignored) {
..

which wasn't exactly obvious, because it triggers for two different
cases:

 - the path is marked excluded, but we are not interested in ignored
   files: ignore it

 - the path is *not* excluded, but we *are* interested in ignored
   files: ignore it unless it's a directory, in which case we might
   have ignored files inside the directory and need to recurse
   into it).

so this splits them into those two cases, since the first case
doesn't even care about the type.

I also made a the DT_UNKNOWN case a separate helper function,
and added some commentary to the cases.
