2019-10-25commit-graph: fix writing first commit-graph during fetchDerrick Stolee
The previous commit includes a failing test for an issue around fetch.writeCommitGraph and fetching in a repo with a submodule. Here, we fix that bug and set the test to "test_expect_success". The problem arises with this set of commands when the remote repo at <url> has a submodule. Note that --recurse-submodules is not needed to demonstrate the bug. $ git clone <url> test $ cd test $ git -c fetch.writeCommitGraph=true fetch origin Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (12/12), done. BUG: commit-graph.c:886: missing parent <hash1> for commit <hash2> Aborted (core dumped) As an initial fix, I converted the code in builtin/fetch.c that calls write_commit_graph_reachable() to instead launch a "git commit-graph write --reachable --split" process. That code worked, but is not how we want the feature to work long-term. That test did demonstrate that the issue must be something to do with internal state of the 'git fetch' process. The write_commit_graph() method in commit-graph.c ensures the commits we plan to write are "closed under reachability" using close_reachable(). This method walks from the input commits, and uses the UNINTERESTING flag to mark which commits have already been visited. This allows the walk to take O(N) time, where N is the number of commits, instead of O(P) time, where P is the number of paths. (The number of paths can be exponential in the number of commits.) However, the UNINTERESTING flag is used in lots of places in the codebase. This flag usually means some barrier to stop a commit walk, such as in revision-walking to compare histories. It is not often cleared after the walk completes because the starting points of those walks do not have the UNINTERESTING flag, and clear_commit_marks() would stop immediately. This is happening during a 'git fetch' call with a remote. The fetch negotiation is comparing the remote refs with the local refs and marking some commits as UNINTERESTING. I tested running clear_commit_marks_many() to clear the UNINTERESTING flag inside close_reachable(), but the tips did not have the flag, so that did nothing. It turns out that the calculate_changed_submodule_paths() method is at fault. Thanks, Peff, for pointing out this detail! More specifically, for each submodule, the collect_changed_submodules() runs a revision walk to essentially do file-history on the list of submodules. That revision walk marks commits UNININTERESTING if they are simplified away by not changing the submodule. Instead, I finally arrived on the conclusion that I should use a flag that is not used in any other part of the code. In commit-reach.c, a number of flags were defined for commit walk algorithms. The REACHABLE flag seemed like it made the most sense, and it seems it was not actually used in the file. The REACHABLE flag was used in early versions of commit-reach.c, but was removed by 4fbcca4 (commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear, 2018-07-20). Add the REACHABLE flag to commit-graph.c and use it instead of UNINTERESTING in close_reachable(). This fixes the bug in manual testing.

2018-11-02commit-reach: implement get_reachable_subsetDerrick Stolee
The existing reachability algorithms in commit-reach.c focus on finding merge-bases or determining if all commits in a set X can reach at least one commit in a set Y. However, for two commits sets X and Y, we may also care about which commits in Y are reachable from at least one commit in X. Implement get_reachable_subset() which answers this question. Given two arrays of commits, 'from' and 'to', return a commit_list with every commit from the 'to' array that is reachable from at least one commit in the 'from' array. The algorithm is a simple walk starting at the 'from' commits, using the PARENT2 flag to indicate "this commit has already been added to the walk queue". By marking the 'to' commits with the PARENT1 flag, we can determine when we see a commit from the 'to' array. We remove the PARENT1 flag as we add that commit to the result list to avoid duplicates. The order of the resulting list is a reverse of the order that the commits are discovered in the walk. There are a couple shortcuts to avoid walking more than we need: 1. We determine the minimum generation number of commits in the 'to' array. We do not walk commits with generation number below this minimum. 2. We count how many distinct commits are in the 'to' array, and decrement this count when we discover a 'to' commit during the walk. If this number reaches zero, then we can terminate the walk. Tests will be added using the 'test-tool reach' helper in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-10-19commit-reach: fix first-parent heuristicDerrick Stolee
The algorithm in can_all_from_reach_with_flags() performs a depth- first-search, terminated by generation number, intending to use a hueristic that "important" commits are found in the first-parent history. This heuristic is valuable in scenarios like fetch negotiation. However, there is a problem! After the search finds a target commit, it should pop all commits off the stack and mark them as "can reach". This logic is incorrect, so the algorithm instead walks all reachable commits above the generation-number cutoff. The existing algorithm is still an improvement over the previous algorithm, as the worst-case complexity went from quadratic to linear. The performance measurement at the time was good, but not dramatic. By fixing this heuristic, we reduce the number of walked commits. We can also re-run the performance tests from commit 4fbcca4e "commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear". Performance was measured on the Linux repository using 'test-tool reach can_all_from_reach'. The input included rows seeded by tag values. The "small" case included X-rows as v4.[0-9]* and Y-rows as v3.[0-9]*. This mimics a (very large) fetch that says "I have all major v3 releases and want all major v4 releases." The "large" case included X-rows as "v4.*" and Y-rows as "v3.*". This adds all release-candidate tags to the set, which does not greatly increase the number of objects that are considered, but does increase the number of 'from' commits, demonstrating the quadratic nature of the previous code.

2018-09-21commit-reach: fix memory and flag leaksDerrick Stolee
The can_all_from_reach_with_flag() method uses 'assign_flag' as a value we can use to mark objects temporarily during our commit walk. The intent is that these flags are removed from all objects before returning. However, this is not the case. The 'from' array could also contain objects that are not commits, and we mark those objects with 'assign_flag'. Add a loop to the 'cleanup' section that removes these markers. Also, we forgot to free() the memory for 'list', so add that to the 'cleanup' section. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-07-20commit-reach: use can_all_from_reachDerrick Stolee
The is_descendant_of method previously used in_merge_bases() to check if the commit can reach any of the commits in the provided list. This had two performance problems: 1. The performance is quadratic in worst-case. 2. A single in_merge_bases() call requires walking beyond the target commit in order to find the full set of boundary commits that may be merge-bases. The can_all_from_reach method avoids this quadratic behavior and can limit the search beyond the target commits using generation numbers. It requires a small prototype adjustment to stop using commit-date as a cutoff, as that optimization is no longer appropriate here. Since in_merge_bases() uses paint_down_to_common(), is_descendant_of() naturally found cutoffs to avoid walking the entire commit graph. Since we want to always return the correct result, we cannot use the min_commit_date cutoff in can_all_from_reach. We then rely on generation numbers to provide the cutoff. Since not all repos will have a commit-graph file, nor will we always have generation numbers computed for a commit-graph file, create a new method, generation_numbers_enabled(), that checks for a commit-graph file and sees if the first commit in the file has a non-zero generation number. In the case that we do not have generation numbers, use the old logic for is_descendant_of(). Performance was meausured on a copy of the Linux repository using the 'test-tool reach is_descendant_of' command using this input: A:v4.9 X:v4.10 X:v4.11 X:v4.12 X:v4.13 X:v4.14 X:v4.15 X:v4.16 X:v4.17 X.v3.0 Note that this input is tailored to demonstrate the quadratic nature of the previous method, as it will compute merge-bases for v4.9 versus all of the later versions before checking against v4.1. Before: 0.26 s After: 0.21 s Since we previously used the is_descendant_of method in the ref_newer method, we also measured performance there using 'test-tool reach ref_newer' with this input: A:v4.9 B:v3.19 Before: 0.10 s After: 0.08 s By adding a new commit with parent v3.19, we test the non-reachable case of ref_newer: Before: 0.09 s After: 0.08 s Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-07-20commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linearDerrick Stolee
The can_all_from_reach_with_flags() algorithm is currently quadratic in the worst case, because it calls the reachable() method for every 'from' without tracking which commits have already been walked or which can already reach a commit in 'to'. Rewrite the algorithm to walk each commit a constant number of times. We also add some optimizations that should work for the main consumer of this method: fetch negotitation (haves/wants). The first step includes using a depth-first-search (DFS) from each 'from' commit, sorted by ascending generation number. We do not walk beyond the minimum generation number or the minimum commit date. This DFS is likely to be faster than the existing reachable() method because we expect previous ref values to be along the first-parent history. If we find a target commit, then we mark everything in the DFS stack as a RESULT. This expands the set of targets for the other 'from' commits. We also mark the visited commits using 'assign_flag' to prevent re- walking the same commits. We still need to clear our flags at the end, which is why we will have a total of three visits to each commit. Performance was measured on the Linux repository using 'test-tool reach can_all_from_reach'. The input included rows seeded by tag values. The "small" case included X-rows as v4.[0-9]* and Y-rows as v3.[0-9]*. This mimics a (very large) fetch that says "I have all major v3 releases and want all major v4 releases." The "large" case included X-rows as "v4.*" and Y-rows as "v3.*". This adds all release-candidate tags to the set, which does not greatly increase the number of objects that are considered, but does increase the number of 'from' commits, demonstrating the quadratic nature of the previous code. Small Case: Before: 1.52 s After: 0.26 s Large Case: Before: 3.50 s After: 0.27 s Note how the time increases between the two cases in the two versions. The new code increases relative to the number of commits that need to be walked, but not directly relative to the number of 'from' commits.

2018-07-20commit-reach: replace ref_newer logicDerrick Stolee
The ref_newer method is used by 'git push' to check if a force-push is required. This method does not use any kind of cutoff when walking, so in the case of a force-push will walk all reachable commits. The is_descendant_of method already uses paint_down_to_common along with cutoffs. By translating the ref_newer arguments into the commit and commit_list required by is_descendant_of, we can have one fewer commit walk and also improve our performance! For a copy of the Linux repository, 'test-tool reach ref_newer' presents the following improvements with the specified input. In the case that ref_newer returns 1, there is no improvement. The improvement is in the second case where ref_newer returns 0. Input: A:v4.9 B:v3.19 Before: 0.09 s After: 0.09 s To test the negative case, add a new commit with parent v3.19, regenerate the commit-graph, and then run with B pointing at that commit.

2018-07-20test-reach: test can_all_from_reach_with_flagsDerrick Stolee
The can_all_from_reach_with_flags method is used by ok_to_give_up in upload-pack.c to see if we have done enough negotiation during a fetch. This method is intentionally created to preserve state between calls to assist with stateful negotiation, such as over SSH. To make this method testable, add a new can_all_from_reach method that does the initial setup and final tear-down. We will later use this method in production code. Call the method from 'test-tool reach' for now. Since this is a many-to-many reachability query, add a new type of input to the 'test-tool reach' input format. Lines "Y:<committish>" create a list of commits to be the reachability targets from the commits in the 'X' list. In the context of fetch negotiation, the 'X' commits are the 'want' commits and the 'Y' commits are the 'have' commits.
