Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] read-cache: load cache extensions on worker thread
Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 15:25:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180829152500.46640-3-benpeart@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180829152500.46640-1-benpeart@microsoft.com>

This patch helps address the CPU cost of loading the index by loading
the cache extensions on a worker thread in parallel with loading the cache
entries.

This is possible because the current extensions don't access the cache
entries in the index_state structure so are OK that they don't all exist
yet.

The CACHE_EXT_TREE, CACHE_EXT_RESOLVE_UNDO, and CACHE_EXT_UNTRACKED
extensions don't even get a pointer to the index so don't have access to the
cache entries.

CACHE_EXT_LINK only uses the index_state to initialize the split index.
CACHE_EXT_FSMONITOR only uses the index_state to save the fsmonitor last
update and dirty flags.

I used p0002-read-cache.sh to generate some performance data on the
cumulative impact:

100,000 entries

Test                                HEAD~3           HEAD~2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
read_cache/discard_cache 1000 times 14.08(0.01+0.10) 9.72(0.03+0.06) -31.0%

1,000,000 entries

Test                                HEAD~3            HEAD~2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
read_cache/discard_cache 1000 times 202.95(0.01+0.07) 154.14(0.03+0.06) -24.1%
