The function `packed_object_info()` takes a packfile and offset and
returns the object info for the corresponding object. Despite these two
parameters though it also takes a repository pointer. This is redundant
information though, as `struct packed_git` already has a repository
pointer that is always populated.
Drop the redundant parameter.

While most of the object info requests for a packed object require us to
unpack its headers, reading its disk size doesn't. We still unpack the
object header in that case though, which is unnecessary work.
Skip reading the header if only the disk size is requested. This leads
to a small speedup when reading disk size, only. The following benchmark
was done in the Git repository:
Benchmark 1: ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 105.2 ms ± 0.6 ms [User: 91.4 ms, System: 13.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 103.7 ms … 106.0 ms 27 runs
Benchmark 2: ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 96.7 ms ± 0.4 ms [User: 86.2 ms, System: 10.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 96.2 ms … 98.1 ms 30 runs
Summary
./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD) ran
1.09 ± 0.01 times faster than ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD~)

The `packed_object_info()` function returns the type of the packed
object. While we use an `enum object_type` to store the return value,
this type is not to be confused with the actual object type. It _may_
contain the object type, but it may just as well encode that the given
packed object is stored as a delta.
We have removed the only caller that relied on this returned object type
in the preceding commit, so let's simplify semantics and return either 0
on success or a negative error code otherwise.
This unblocks a small optimization where we can skip reading the object
type altogether.

When reading object information via `packed_object_info()` we may not
populate the object info's packfile-specific fields. This leads to
inconsistent object info depending on whether the info was populated via
`packfile_store_read_object_info()` or `packed_object_info()`.
Fix this inconsistency so that we can always assume the pack info to be
populated when reading object info from a pack.

The `struct object_info::u::packed::is_delta` field determines whether
or not a specific object is stored as a delta. It only stores whether or
not the object is stored as delta, so it is treated as a boolean value.
This boolean is insufficient though: when reading a packed object via
`packfile_store_read_object_info()` we know to skip parsing the actual
object when the user didn't request any object-specific data. In that
case we won't read the object itself, but will only look up its position
in the packfile. Consequently, we do not know whether it is a delta or
not.
This isn't really an issue right now, as the check for an empty request
is broken. But a subsequent commit will fix it, and once we do we will
have the need to also represent an "unknown" delta state.
Prepare for this change by introducing a new enum that encodes the
object type. We don't use the "unknown" state just yet, but will start
to do so in a subsequent commit.

When reading object info via a packfile we yield one of two types:
- The object can either be OI_PACKED, which is what a caller would
typically expect.
- Or it can be OI_DBCACHED if it is stored in the delta base cache.
The latter really is an implementation detail though, and callers
typically don't care at all about the difference. Furthermore, the
information whether or not it is part of the delta base cache can
already be derived via the `is_delta` field, so the fact that we discern
between OI_PACKED and OI_DBCACHED only further complicates the
interface.
There aren't all that many callers that care about the `whence` field in
the first place. In fact, there's only three:
- `packfile_store_read_object_info()` checks for `whence == OI_PACKED`
and then populates the packfile information of the object info
structure. We now start to do this also for deltified objects, which
gives its callers strictly more information.
- `repack_local_links()` wants to determine whether the object is part
of a promisor pack and checks for `whence == OI_PACKED`. If so, it
verifies that the packfile is a promisor pack. It's arguably wrong
to declare that an object is not part of a promisor pack only
because it is stored in the delta base cache.
- `is_not_in_promisor_pack_obj()` does the same, but checks that a
specific object is _not_ part of a promisor pack. The same reasoning
as above applies.
Drop the OI_DBCACHED enum completely. None of the callers seem to care
about the distinction.
Note that this also fixes a segfault introduced in 8c1b84bc97
(streaming: move logic to read packed objects streams into backend,
2025-11-23), which refactors how we stream packed objects. The intent is
to only read packed objects in case they are stored non-deltified as
we'd otherwise have to deflate them first. But the check for whether or
not the object is stored as a delta was unconditionally done via
`oi.u.packed.is_delta`, which is only valid in case `oi.whence` is
`OI_PACKED`. But under some circumstances we got `OI_DBCACHED` here,
which means that none of the `oi.u.packed` fields were initialized at
all. Consequently, we assumed the object was not stored as a delta, and
then try to read the object from `oi.u.packed.pack`, which is a `NULL`
pointer and thus causes a segfault.
Add a test case for this issue so that this cannot regress in the
future anymore.

The multi-pack index still is tracked as a member of the object database
source, but ultimately the MIDX is always tied to one specific packfile
store.

The function `find_pack_entry()` doesn't work on a specific packfile
store, but instead works on the whole repository. This causes a bit of a
conceptual mismatch in its callers:
- `packfile_store_freshen_object()` supposedly acts on a store, and
its callers know to iterate through all sources already.
- `packfile_store_read_object_info()` behaves likewise.
The only exception that doesn't know to handle iteration through sources
is `has_object_pack()`, but that function is trivial to adapt.
Refactor the code so that `find_pack_entry()` works on the packfile
store level instead.

The `find_kept_pack_entry()` function is only used in

the latter into the former.
Furthermore, reorder the code so that we can drop the declaration of the

The packfile store is a member of `struct object_database`, which means
that we have a single store per database. This doesn't really make much
sense though: each source connected to the database has its own set of
packfiles, so there is a conceptual mismatch here. This hasn't really
caused much of a problem in the past, but with the advent of pluggable
object databases this is becoming more of a problem because some of the
sources may not even use packfiles in the first place.
Move the packfile store down by one level from the object database into
the object database source. This ensures that each source now has its
own packfile store, and we can eventually start to abstract it away
entirely so that the caller doesn't even know what kind of store it
uses.
Note that we only need to adjust a relatively small number of callers,
way less than one might expect. This is because most callers are using
`repo_for_each_pack()`, which handles enumeration of all packfiles that
exist in the repository. So for now, none of these callers need to be
adapted. The remaining callers that iterate through the packfiles
directly and that need adjustment are those that are a bit more tangled
with packfiles. These will be adjusted over time.
Note that this patch only moves the packfile store, and there is still a
bunch of functions that seemingly operate on a packfile store but that
end up iterating over all sources. These will be adjusted in subsequent
commits.

The function `unuse_one_window()` is responsible for unmapping one of
the packfile windows, which is done when we have exceeded the allowed
number of window.
The function receives a `struct packed_git` as input, which serves as an
additional packfile that should be considered to be closed. If not
given, we seemingly skip that and instead go through all of the
repository's packfiles. The conditional that checks whether we have a
packfile though does not make much sense anymore, as we dereference the
packfile regardless of whether or not it is a `NULL` pointer to derive
the repository's packfile store.
The function was originally introduced via f0e17e86e1 (pack: move
release_pack_memory(), 2017-08-18), and here we indeed had a caller that
passed a `NULL` pointer. That caller was later removed via 9827d4c185
(packfile: drop release_pack_memory(), 2019-08-12), so starting with
that commit we always pass a `struct packed_git`. In 9c5ce06d74
(packfile: use `repository` from `packed_git` directly, 2024-12-03) we
then inadvertently started to rely on the fact that the pointer is never
`NULL` because we use it now to identify the repository.
Arguably, it didn't really make sense in the first place that the caller
provides a packfile, as the selected window would have been overridden
anyway by the subsequent loop over all packfiles if there was an older
window. So the overall logic is quite misleading overall. The only case
where it _could_ make a difference is when there were two packfiles with
the same `last_used` value, but that case doesn't ever happen because
the `pack_used_ctr` is strictly increasing.
Refactor the code so that we instead pass in the object database to
help make the code less misleading.

The kept pack cache is a cache of packfiles that are marked as kept
either via an accompanying ".kept" file or via an in-memory flag. The
cache can be retrieved via `kept_pack_cache()`, where one needs to pass
in a repository.
Ultimately though the kept-pack cache is a property of the packfile
store, and this causes problems in a subsequent commit where we want to
move down the packfile store to be a per-object-source entity.
Prepare for this and refactor the kept-pack cache to work on top of a
packfile store instead. While at it, rename both the function and flags
specific to the kept-pack cache so that they can be properly attributed
to the respective subsystems.

we start to prepare the pack via the source.

In subsequent patches we're about to move the packfile store from the
object database layer into the object database source layer. Once done,
we'll have one packfile store per source, where the source is owning the
store.
Prepare for this future and refactor `packfile_store_new()` to be
initialized via an object database source instead of via the object
database itself.
This refactoring leads to a weird in-between state where the store is
owned by the object database but created via the source. But this makes
subsequent refactorings easier because we can now start to access the
owning source of a given store.

* jc/object-read-stream-fix:
odb: do not use "blank" substitute for NULL
|
|
When various *object_info() functions are given an extended object
info structure as NULL by a caller that does not want any details,
the code uses a file-scope static blank_oi and passes it down to
the helper functions they use, to avoid handling NULL specifically.
The ps/object-read-stream topic graduated to 'master' recently
however had a bug that assumed that two identically named file-scope
static variables in two functions are the same, which of course is
not the case. This made "git commit" take 0.38 seconds to 1508
seconds in some case, as reported by Aaron Plattner here:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/f4ba7e89-4717-4b36-921f-56537131fd69@nvidia.com/
We _could_ move the blank_oi variable to the global scope in common
section to fix this regression, but explicitly handling the NULL is
a much safer fix. It would also reduce the chance of errors that
somebody accidentally writes into blank_oi, making its contents
dirty, which potentially will make subsequent calls into the
function misbehave. By explicitly handling NULL input, we no longer
have to worry about it.

When is_promisor_object() is called for the first time, it lazily
initializes a set of all promisor objects by iterating through all
objects in promisor packs. For each object, add_promisor_object() calls
parse_object(), which decompresses and hashes the entire object.
For repositories with large pack files, this can take an extremely long
time. For example, on a production repository with a 176 GB promisor
pack:
$ time ~/git/git/git-rev-list --objects --all --exclude-promisor-objects --quiet
________________________________________________________
Executed in 76.10 mins fish external
usr time 72.10 mins 1.83 millis 72.10 mins
sys time 3.56 mins 0.17 millis 3.56 mins
add_promisor_object() just wants to construct the set of all promisor
objects, so it doesn't really need to verify the hash of every object.
Set PARSE_OBJECT_SKIP_HASH_CHECK to skip the hash check. This has the
side effect of skipping decompression of blob objects completely, saving
a significant amount of time:
$ time ~/git/git/git-rev-list --objects --all --exclude-promisor-objects --quiet

When writing an object that already exists in our object database we
skip the write and instead only update mtimes of the object, either in
its packed or loose object format. This logic is wholly contained in
"object-file.c", but that file is really only concerned with loose
objects. So it does not really make sense that it also contains the
logic to freshen a packed object.
Introduce a new `odb_freshen_object()` function that sits on the object
database level and two functions `packfile_store_freshen_object()` and
`odb_source_loose_freshen_object()`. Like this, the format-specific
functions can be part of their respective subsystems, while the backend
agnostic function to freshen an object sits at the object database
layer.
Note that this change also moves the logic that iterates through object
sources from the object source layer into the object database layer.
This change is intentional: object sources should ideally only have to
worry about themselves, and coordination of different sources should be
handled on the object database level.

We track packfiles via two different lists:
- `struct packfile_store::packs` is a list that sorts local packs
first. In addition, these packs are sorted so that younger packs are
sorted towards the front.
- `struct packfile_store::mru` is a list that sorts packs so that
most-recently used packs are at the front.
The reasoning behind the ordering in the `packs` list is that younger
objects stored in the local object store tend to be accessed more
frequently, and that is certainly true for some cases. But there are
going to be lots of cases where that isn't true. Especially when
traversing history it is likely that one needs to access many older
objects, and due to our housekeeping it is very likely that almost all
of those older objects will be contained in one large pack that is
oldest.
So whether or not the ordering makes sense really depends on the use
case at hand. A flexible approach like our MRU list addresses that need,
as it will sort packs towards the front that are accessed all the time.
Intuitively, this approach is thus able to satisfy more use cases more
efficiently.
This reasoning casts some doubt on whether or not it really makes sense
to track packs via two different lists. It causes confusion, and it is
not clear whether there are use cases where the `packs` list really is
such an obvious choice.
Merge these two lists into one most-recently-used list.
Note that there is one important edge case: `for_each_packed_object()`
uses the MRU list to iterate through packs, and then it lists each
object in those packs. This would have the effect that we now sort the
current pack towards the front, thus modifying the list of packfiles we
are iterating over, with the consequence that we'll see an infinite
loop. This edge case is worked around by introducing a new field that
allows us to skip updating the MRU.

When preparing the packfile store we know to also prepare the MRU list
of packfiles with all packs that are currently loaded in the store via
`packfile_store_prepare_mru()`. So we know that the list of packs in the
MRU list should match the list of packs in the non-MRU list.
But there are some direct or indirect callsites that add a packfile to
the store via `packfile_store_add_pack()` without adding the pack to the
MRU. And while functions that access the MRU (e.g. `find_pack_entry()`)
know to call `packfile_store_prepare()`, which knows to prepare the MRU
via `packfile_store_prepare_mru()`, that operation will be turned into a
no-op because the packfile store is already prepared. So this will not
cause us to add the packfile to the MRU, and consequently we won't be
able to find the packfile in our MRU list.
There are only a handful of callers outside of "packfile.c" that add a
packfile to the store:
- "builtin/fast-import.c" adds multiple packs of imported objects, but
it knows to look up objects via `packfile_store_get_packs()`. This
function does not use the MRU, so we're good.
- "builtin/index-pack.c" adds the indexed pack to the store in case it
needs to perform consistency checks on its objects.
- "http.c" adds the fetched pack to the store so that we can access
its objects.
In all of these cases we actually want to access the contained objects.
And luckily, reading these objects works as expected:
1. We eventually end up in `do_oid_object_info_extended()`.
2. Calling `find_pack_entry()` fails because the MRU list doesn't
contain the newly added packfile.
3. The callers don't pass `OBJECT_INFO_QUICK`, so we end up
repreparing the object database. This will also cause us to
reprepare the MRU list.
4. We now retry reading the object via `find_pack_entry()`, and now we
succeed because the MRU list got populated.
This logic feels quite fragile: we intentionally add the packfile to the
store, but we then ultimately rely on repreparing the entire store only
to make the packfile accessible. While we do the correct thing in
`do_oid_object_info_extended()`, other sites that access the MRU may not
know to reprepare.
But besides being fragile it's also a waste of resources: repreparing
the object database requires us to re-read the alternates file and
discard any caches.
Refactor the code so that we unconditionally add packfiles to the MRU
when adding them to a packfile store. This makes the logic less fragile
and ensures that we don't have to reprepare the store to make the pack
accessible.
Note that this does not allow us to drop `packfile_store_prepare_mru()`
just yet: while the MRU list is already populated with all packs now,
the order in which we add these packs is indeterministic for most of the
part. So by first calling `sort_pack()` on the other packfile list and
then re-preparing the MRU list we inherit its sorting.

When approximating the number of objects in a repository we only take
into account two data sources, the multi-pack index and the packfile
indices, as both of these data structures allow us to easily figure out
how many objects they contain.
But the way we currently approximate the number of objects is broken in
presence of a multi-pack index. This is due to two separate reasons:
- We have recently introduced initial infrastructure for incremental
multi-pack indices. Starting with that series, `num_objects` only
counts the number of objects of a specific layer of the MIDX chain,
so we do not take into account objects from parent layers.
This issue is fixed by adding `num_objects_in_base`, which contains
the sum of all objects in previous layers.
- When using the multi-pack index we may count objects contained in
packfiles twice: once via the multi-pack index, but then we again
count them via the packfile itself.
This issue is fixed by skipping any packfiles that have an MIDX.
Overall, given that we _always_ count the packs, we can only end up
overestimating the number of objects, and the overestimation is limited
to a factor of two at most.
The consequences of those issues are very limited though, as we only
approximate object counts in a small number of cases:
- When writing a commit-graph we use the approximate object count to
display the upper limit of a progress display.
- In `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` we use it to specify a lower limit
of how many hex digits we want to abbreviate to. Given that we use
power-of-two here to derive the lower limit we may end up with an
abbreviated hash that is one digit longer than required.
- In `estimate_repack_memory()` we may end up overestimating how much
memory a repack needs to pack objects. Conseuqently, we may end up
dropping some packfiles from a repack.
None of these are really game-changing. But it's nice to fix those
issues regardless.
While at it, convert the code to use `repo_for_each_pack()`.
Furthermore, use `odb_prepare_alternates()` instead of explicitly
preparing the packfile store. We really only want to prepare the object
database sources, and `get_multi_pack_index()` already knows to prepare
the packfile store for us.

The dumb HTTP protocol directly fetches packfiles from the remote server
and temporarily stores them in a list of packfiles. Those packfiles are
not yet added to the repository's packfile store until we finalize the
whole fetch.
Refactor the code to instead use a `struct packfile_list` to store those
packs. This prepares us for a subsequent change where the `->next`
pointer of `struct packed_git` will go away.
Note that this refactoring creates some temporary duplication of code,
as we now have both `packfile_list_find_oid()` and `find_oid_pack()`.
The latter function will be removed in a subsequent commit though.

Packfiles have two lists associated to them:
- A list that keeps track of packfiles in the order that they were
added to a packfile store.
- A list that keeps track of packfiles in most-recently-used order so
that packfiles that are more likely to contain a specific object are
ordered towards the front.
Both of these lists are hosted by `struct packed_git` itself, So to
identify all packfiles in a repository you simply need to grab the first
packfile and then iterate the `->next` pointers or the MRU list. This
pattern has the problem that all packfiles are part of the same list,
regardless of whether or not they belong to the same object source.
With the upcoming pluggable object database effort this needs to change:
packfiles should be contained by a single object source, and reading an
object from any such packfile should use that source to look up the
object. Consequently, we need to break up the global lists of packfiles
into per-object-source lists.
A first step towards this goal is to move those lists out of `struct
packed_git` and into the packfile store. While the packfile store is
currently sitting on the `struct object_database` level, the intent is
to push it down one level into the `struct odb_source` in a subsequent
patch series.
Introduce a new `struct packfile_list` that is used to manage lists of
packfiles and use it to store the list of most-recently-used packfiles
in `struct packfile_store`. For now, the new list type is only used in a
single spot, but we'll expand its usage in subsequent patches.

To allow fast lookups of a packfile by name we use a hashmap that has
the packfile name as key and the pack itself as value. But while this is
the perfect use case for a `strmap`, we instead use `struct hashmap` and
store the hashmap entry in the packfile itself.
Simplify the code by using a `strmap` instead.

We have a bunch of different sites that want to iterate through all
packs of a given `struct packfile_store`. This pattern is somewhat

The `get_multi_pack_index()` function is declared and implemented in the
packfile subsystem, even though it really belongs into the multi-pack
index subsystem. The reason for this is likely that it needs to call
`packfile_store_prepare()`, which is not exposed by the packfile system.
In a subsequent commit we're about to add another caller outside of the
packfile system though, so we'll have to expose the function anyway.
Do so now already and move `get_multi_pack_index()` into the MIDX
subsystem.

We have a recurring pattern where we essentially perform an upsert of a
packfile in case it isn't yet known by the packfile store. The logic to
do so is non-trivial as we have to reconstruct the packfile's key, check
the map of packfiles, then create the new packfile and finally add it to
the store.
Introduce a new function that does this dance for us. Refactor callsites
to use it.

In `reprepare_packed_git()` we perform a couple of operations:
- We reload alternate object directories.
- We clear the loose object cache.
- We reprepare packfiles.
While the logic is hosted in "packfile.c", it clearly reaches into other
subsystems that aren't related to packfiles.
Split up the responsibility and introduce `odb_reprepare()` which now
becomes responsible for repreparing the whole object database. The
existing `reprepare_packed_git()` function is refactored accordingly and
only cares about reloading the packfile store now.
