Subject: [PATCH 00/15] refs: implement skip lists for packed backend
Date: Mon, 8 May 2023 17:59:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1683581621.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)

This series implements the concept of a skip list for the packed refs
backend. In situations where the caller has many references they want to
exclude, the packed-refs iterator maintains a list of (start, end)
tuples of regions to jump over (i.e. if `iter->pos == start`, jump
forward to `end`).

This series implements that concept, and uses it to power a couple of
new things:

  - `git for-each-ref --exclude`, which allows callers to specify
    prefixes they wish to discard.

    In a synthetic example, the naive implementation improved runtime
    from ~820ms to enumerate all references and discard unwanted ones,
    down to ~106ms with `--exclude`. By the end of the series, this time
    drops to under ~5ms.

  - `git receive-pack` uses the new skip-list machinery to avoid
    visiting references hidden via a hideRefs rule.

  - `git upload-pack` has an analogous optimization as above (though it
    can't kick in quite as often for reasons described in that patch).

The series is laid out as follows:

  - The first five patches are preparatory (various refs.c and
    ref-filter cleanup).
  - The sixth patch provides a naive implementation of `--exclude`.
  - The next four patches prepare for and implement skip lists in the
    packed-refs backend.
  - The last five patches apply the optimization in `upload-pack` and
    `receive-pack`.

The series is ordered so that any prefix of sections list above could be
queued independently. Thanks in advance for your review.

Jeff King (5):
  refs.c: rename `ref_filter`
  ref-filter.h: provide `REF_FILTER_INIT`
  ref-filter: clear reachable list pointers after freeing
  ref-filter: add ref_filter_clear()
  ref-filter.c: parameterize match functions over patterns

Taylor Blau (10):
  builtin/for-each-ref.c: add `--exclude` option
  refs: plumb `exclude_patterns` argument throughout
  refs/packed-backend.c: refactor `find_reference_location()`
  refs/packed-backend.c: implement skip lists to avoid excluded
    pattern(s)
  refs/packed-backend.c: add trace2 counters for skip list
  revision.h: store hidden refs in a `strvec`
  refs/packed-backend.c: ignore complicated hidden refs rules
  refs.h: let `for_each_namespaced_ref()` take excluded patterns
  upload-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden refs where possible
  builtin/receive-pack.c: avoid enumerating hidden references
