To reduce the number of on-disk reftables, compaction is performed.
Contiguous tables with the same binary log value of size are grouped
into segments. The segment that has both the lowest binary log value and
contains more than one table is set as the starting point when
identifying the compaction segment.
Since segments containing a single table are not initially considered
for compaction, if the table appended to the list does not match the
previous table log value, no compaction occurs for the new table. It is
therefore possible for unbounded growth of the table list. This can be
demonstrated by repeating the following sequence:
git branch -f foo
git branch -d foo
Each operation results in a new table being written with no compaction
occurring until a separate operation produces a table matching the
previous table log value.
Instead, to avoid unbounded growth of the table list, the compaction
strategy is updated to ensure tables follow a geometric sequence after
each operation by individually evaluating each table in reverse index
order. This strategy results in a much simpler and more robust algorithm
compared to the previous one while also maintaining a minimal ordered
set of tables on-disk.
When creating 10 thousand references, the new strategy has no
performance impact:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 26.516 s ± 0.047 s [User: 17.864 s, System: 8.491 s]

Summary
update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD) ran
1.00 ± 0.00 times faster than update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD~)
Some tests in `t0610-reftable-basics.sh` assert the on-disk state of
tables and are therefore updated to specify the correct new table count.
Since compaction is more aggressive in ensuring tables maintain a
geometric sequence, the expected table count is reduced in these tests.
In `reftable/stack_test.c` tests related to `sizes_to_segments()` are
removed because the function is no longer needed. Also, the
`test_suggest_compaction_segment()` test is updated to better showcase
and reflect the new geometric compaction behavior.

The reftable stack already has a variable to configure whether or not to
run auto-compaction, but it is inaccessible to users of the library.
There exist use cases where a caller may want to have more control over
auto-compaction.
Move the `disable_auto_compact` option into `reftable_write_options` to
allow external callers to disable auto-compaction. This will be used in
a subsequent commit.

Whenever we commit a new table to the reftable stack we will end up
invoking auto-compaction of the stack to keep the total number of tables
at bay. This auto-compaction may fail though in case at least one of the
tables which we are about to compact is locked. This is indicated by the
compaction function returning `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR`. We do not handle
this case though, and thus bubble that return value up the calling
chain, which will ultimately cause a failure.
Fix this bug by ignoring `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR`.

Compaction of a reftable stack may fail gracefully when there is a
concurrent process that writes to the reftable stack and which has thus
locked either the "tables.list" file or one of the tables. This is
expected and can be handled gracefully by some of the callers which
invoke compaction. Thus, to indicate this situation to our callers, we
return a positive return code from `stack_compact_range()` and bubble it
up to the caller.
This kind of error handling is somewhat awkward though as many callers
in the call chain never even think of handling positive return values.
Thus, the result is either that such errors are swallowed by accident,
or that we abort operations with an unhelpful error message.
Make the code more robust by always using negative error codes when
compaction fails, with `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR` for the described benign
error case.
Note that only a single callsite knew to handle positive error codes
gracefully in the first place. Subsequent commits will touch up some of
the other sites to handle those errors better.

We currently throw two different errors into a similar-but-different
error code:
- Errors when trying to lock the reftable stack.
- Errors when trying to write to the reftable stack which has been
modified concurrently.
This results in unclear error handling and user-visible error messages.
Create a new `REFTABLE_OUTDATED_ERROR` so that those error conditions
can be clearly told apart from each other. Adjust users of the old
`REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR` to use the new error code as required.

In `reftable_stack_init_addition()` we call `stack_uptodate()` after
having created the lockfile to check whether the stack was modified
concurrently, which is indicated by a positive return code from the
latter function. If so, we return a `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR` to the caller
and abort the addition.
The error handling has an off-by-one though because we check whether the
error code is `> 1` instead of `> 0`. Thus, instead of returning the
locking error, we would return a positive value. One of the callers of
`reftable_stack_init_addition()` works around this bug by repeating the
error code check without the off-by-one. But other callers are subtly
broken by this bug.
Fix this by checking for `err > 0` instead. This has the consequence
that `reftable_stack_init_addition()` won't ever return a positive error
code anymore, but will instead return `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR` now. Thus,
we can drop the check for a positive error code in `stack_try_add()`
now.

The `stack_compact_range()` function receives a "first" and "last" index
that indicates which tables of the reftable stack should be compacted.
Naturally, "first" must be smaller than "last" in order to identify a
proper range of tables to compress, which we indeed also assert in the
function. But the validations happens after we have already allocated
arrays with a size of `last - first + 1`, leading to an underflow and
thus an invalid allocation size.
Fix this by reordering the array allocations to happen after we have
validated parameters. While at it, convert the array allocations to use
the newly introduced macros.
Note that the relevant variables pointing into arrays should also be
converted to use `size_t` instead of `int`. This is left for a later
commit in this series.

Similar to the preceding commit, let's carry over macros to allocate
arrays with `REFTABLE_ALLOC_ARRAY()` and `REFTABLE_CALLOC_ARRAY()`. This
requires us to change the signature of `reftable_calloc()`, which only
takes a single argument right now and thus puts the burden on the caller
to calculate the final array's size. This is a net improvement though as
it means that we can now provide proper overflow checks when multiplying
the array size with the member size.
Convert callsites of `reftable_calloc()` to the new signature and start
using the new macros where possible.

Throughout the reftable library we have many cases where we need to grow
arrays. In order to avoid too many reallocations, we roughly double the
capacity of the array on each iteration. The resulting code pattern is
duplicated across many sites.
We have similar patterns in our main codebase, which is why we have
eventually introduced an `ALLOC_GROW()` macro to abstract it away and
avoid some code duplication. We cannot easily reuse this macro here
though because `ALLOC_GROW()` uses `REALLOC_ARRAY()`, which in turn will
call realloc(3P) to grow the array. The reftable code is structured as a
library though (even if the boundaries are fuzzy), and one property this
brings with it is that it is possible to plug in your own allocators. So
instead of using realloc(3P), we need to use `reftable_realloc()` that
knows to use the user-provided implementation.
So let's introduce two new macros `REFTABLE_REALLOC_ARRAY()` and
`REFTABLE_ALLOC_GROW()` that mirror what we do in our main codebase,
with two modifications:
- They use `reftable_realloc()`, as explained above.
- They use a different growth factor of `2 * cap + 1` instead of `(cap
+ 16) * 3 / 2`.
The second change is because we know a bit more about the allocation
patterns in the reftable library. In most cases, we end up only having a
handful of items in the array and don't end up growing them. The initial
capacity that our normal growth factor uses (which is 24) would thus end
up over-allocating in a lot of code paths. This effect is measurable:
- Before change:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 671,983 bytes in 152 blocks
total heap usage: 3,843,446 allocs, 3,843,294 frees, 223,761,402 bytes allocated
- After change with a growth factor of `(2 * alloc + 1)`:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 671,983 bytes in 152 blocks
total heap usage: 3,843,446 allocs, 3,843,294 frees, 223,761,410 bytes allocated
- After change with a growth factor of `(alloc + 16)* 2 / 3`:
HEAP SUMMARY:
in use at exit: 671,983 bytes in 152 blocks
total heap usage: 3,833,673 allocs, 3,833,521 frees, 4,728,251,742 bytes allocated
While the total heap usage is roughly the same, we do end up allocating
significantly more bytes with our usual growth factor (in fact, roughly
21 times as many).
Convert the reftable library to use these new macros.

In 1df18a1c9a (reftable: honor core.fsync, 2024-01-23), we have added
code to fsync both newly written reftables as well as "tables.list" to
disk. But there are two code paths where "tables.list" is being written:
- When appending a new table due to a normal ref update.
- When compacting a range of tables during compaction.
We have only addressed the former code path, but do not yet sync the new
"tables.list" file in the latter. Fix this omission.
Note that we are not yet adding any tests. These tests will be added
once the "reftable" backend has been upstreamed.

While the reffiles backend honors configured fsync settings, the
reftable backend does not. Address this by fsyncing reftable files using
the write-or-die api's fsync_component() in two places: when we
add additional entries into the table, and when we close the reftable
writer.
This commits adds a flush function pointer as a new member of
reftable_writer because we are not sure that the first argument to the
*write function pointer always contains a file descriptor. In the case of
strbuf_add_void, the first argument is a buffer. This way, we can pass
in a corresponding flush function that knows how to flush depending on
which writer is being used.
This patch does not contain tests as they will need to wait for another
patch to start to exercise the reftable backend. At that point, the
tests will be added to observe that fsyncs are happening when the
reftable is in use.

In 6fdfaf15a0 (reftable/stack: use stat info to avoid re-reading stack
list, 2024-01-11) we have introduced a new mechanism to avoid re-reading
the table list in case stat(3P) figures out that the stack didn't change
since the last time we read it.
While this change significantly improved performance when writing many
refs, it can unfortunately lead to false negatives in very specific
scenarios. Given two processes A and B, there is a feasible sequence of
events that cause us to accidentally treat the table list as up-to-date
even though it changed:
1. A reads the reftable stack and caches its stat info.
2. B updates the stack, appending a new table to "tables.list". This
will both use a new inode and result in a different file size, thus
invalidating A's cache in theory.
3. B decides to auto-compact the stack and merges two tables. The file
size now matches what A has cached again. Furthermore, the
filesystem may decide to recycle the inode number of the file we
have replaced in (2) because it is not in use anymore.
4. A reloads the reftable stack. Neither the inode number nor the
file size changed. If the timestamps did not change either then we
think the cached copy of our stack is up-to-date.
In fact, the commit introduced three related issues:
- Non-POSIX compliant systems may not report proper `st_dev` and
`st_ino` values in stat(3P), which made us rely solely on the
file's potentially coarse-grained mtime and ctime.
- `stat_validity_check()` and friends may end up not comparing
`st_dev` and `st_ino` depending on the "core.checkstat" config,
again reducing the signal to the mtime and ctime.
- `st_ino` can be recycled, rendering the check moot even on
POSIX-compliant systems.
Given that POSIX defines that "The st_ino and st_dev fields taken
together uniquely identify the file within the system", these issues led
to the most important signal to establish file identity to be ignored or
become useless in some cases.
Refactor the code to stop using `stat_validity_check()`. Instead, we
manually stat(3P) the file descriptors to make relevant information
available. On Windows and MSYS2 the result will have both `st_dev` and
`st_ino` set to 0, which allows us to address the first issue by not
using the stat-based cache in that case. It also allows us to make sure
that we always compare `st_dev` and `st_ino`, addressing the second
issue.
The third issue of inode recycling can be addressed by keeping the file
descriptor of "files.list" open during the lifetime of the reftable
stack. As the file will still exist on disk even though it has been
unlinked it is impossible for its inode to be recycled as long as the
file descriptor is still open.
This should address the race in a POSIX-compliant way. The only real
downside is that this mechanism cannot be used on non-POSIX-compliant
systems like Windows. But we at least have the second-level caching
mechanism in place that compares contents of "files.list" with the
currently loaded list of tables.
This new mechanism performs roughly the same as the previous one that
relied on `stat_validity_check()`:

After we have committed an addition to the reftable stack we call
`reftable_stack_reload()` to reload the stack and thus reflect the
changes that were just added. This function will only conditionally
reload the stack in case `stack_uptodate()` tells us that the stack
needs reloading. This check is wasteful though because we already know
that the stack needs reloading.
Call `reftable_stack_reload_maybe_reuse()` instead, which will
unconditionally reload the stack. This is merely a conceptual fix, the
code in question was not found to cause any problems in practice.

Whenever we call into the refs interfaces we potentially have to reload
refs in case they have been concurrently modified, either in-process or
externally. While this happens somewhat automatically for loose refs
because we simply try to re-read the files, the "packed" backend will
reload its snapshot of the packed-refs file in case its stat info has
changed since last reading it.
In the reftable backend we have a similar mechanism that is provided by
`reftable_stack_reload()`. This function will read the list of stacks
from "tables.list" and, if they have changed from the currently stored
list, reload the stacks. This is heavily inefficient though, as we have
to check whether the stack is up-to-date on basically every read and
thus keep on re-reading the file all the time even if it didn't change
at all.
We can do better and use the same stat(3P)-based mechanism that the
"packed" backend uses. Instead of reading the file, we will only open
the file descriptor, fstat(3P) it, and then compare the info against the
cached value from the last time we have updated the stack. This should
always work alright because "tables.list" is updated atomically via a
rename, so even if the ctime or mtime wasn't granular enough to identify
a change, at least the inode number or file size should have changed.
This change significantly speeds up operations where many refs are read,
like when using git-update-ref(1). The following benchmark creates N

- It performs auto-compaction by itself.
- It now transitively performs auto-compaction via the transactional
interface.
Remove the first instance so that we only end up doing auto-compaction
once.

In order to compact multiple stacks we iterate through the merged ref
and log records. When there is any error either when reading the records
from the old merged table or when writing the records to the new table
then we break out of the respective loops. When breaking out of the loop
for the ref records though the error code will be overwritten, which may
cause us to inadvertently skip over bad ref records. In the worst case,
this can lead to a compacted stack that is missing records.
Fix the code by using `goto done` instead so that any potential error
codes are properly returned to the caller.

When writing a new reftable stack, Git will first create the stack with
a random suffix so that concurrent updates will not try to write to the
same file. This random suffix is computed via a call to rand(3P). But we
never seed the function via srand(3P), which means that the suffix is in
fact always the same.
Fix this bug by using `git_rand()` instead, which does not need to be
initialized. While this function is likely going to be slower depending
on the platform, this slowness should not matter in practice as we only
use it when writing a new reftable stack.

When starting a transaction via `reftable_stack_init_addition()`, we
create a lockfile for the reftable stack itself which we'll write the
new list of tables to. But if we terminate abnormally e.g. via a call to
`die()`, then we do not remove the lockfile. Subsequent executions of
Git which try to modify references will thus fail with an out-of-date
error.

In `reftable_stack_reload_once()` we iterate over all the tables added
to the stack in order to figure out whether any of the tables needs to
be reloaded. We use a set of buffers in this context to compute the
paths of these tables, but discard those buffers on every iteration.
This is quite wasteful given that we do not need to transfer ownership
of the allocated buffer outside of the loop.
Refactor the code to instead reuse the buffers to reduce the number of
allocations we need to do. Note that we do not have to manually reset
the buffer because `stack_filename()` does this for us already.

Whenever updating references or reflog entries in the reftable stack, we
need to add a new table to the stack, thus growing the stack's length by
one. The stack can grow to become quite long rather quickly, leading to
performance issues when trying to read records. But besides performance
issues, this can also lead to exhaustion of file descriptors very
rapidly as every single table requires a separate descriptor when
opening the stack.
While git-pack-refs(1) fixes this issue for us by merging the tables, it
runs too irregularly to keep the length of the stack within reasonable
limits. This is why the reftable stack has an auto-compaction mechanism:
`reftable_stack_add()` will call `reftable_stack_auto_compact()` after
its added the new table, which will auto-compact the stack as required.
But while this logic works alright for `reftable_stack_add()`, we do not
do the same in `reftable_addition_commit()`, which is the transactional
equivalent to the former function that allows us to write multiple
updates to the stack atomically. Consequentially, we will easily run
into file descriptor exhaustion in code paths that use many separate
transactions like e.g. non-atomic fetches.
Fix this issue by calling `reftable_stack_auto_compact()`.

There are calls to write(3P) where we don't properly handle interrupts.
Convert them to use `write_in_full()`.

There are calls to pread(3P) and read(3P) where we don't properly handle
interrupts. Convert them to use `pread_in_full()` and `read_in_full()`,
respectively.

This would trigger in the unlikely event that we are compacting, and
the next available file handle is 0.

Create files with mode 0666, so umask works as intended. Provides an override,
which is useful to support shared repos (test t1301-shared-repo.sh).
