I wondered at first if this would be a problem with NO_PTHREADS. But I
think since the cleanups around 2094c5e582 (index-pack: remove #ifdef
NO_PTHREADS, 2018-11-03), we always define threaded_second_pass(), even
if all the locks are noops and we only ever have one thread.

Instead, recompute ancestry if we ever need to reclaim memory.

I find this message lacking in important details:
1. Where do we recompute ancestry?
2. What are the performance implications of this change?
3. Why is it important that you construct a stack of deltas in prune_base_data()?

Seems like this method should be removed and all callers should
call free_base_data() instead.

Thanks for taking a look at this. My original plan (as I perhaps badly
explained in the cover letter [1]) was to show the individual small
steps that I took to reach the end goal, each step still passing all
tests, in the hope that small steps are easier to understand than one
big one. Hence why I didn't explain much in this commit message (and
others), because I thought that I might have to squash them later. But
perhaps that is too confusing and I should have just squashed them in
the first place (and explain all the changes in the commit message -
it's +177 -198, which is not too big anyway).
To answer the question anyway, the short answer is that it doesn't
matter because I'm going to replace this mechanism in later patches. But
a longer answer:
1. In prune_base_delta() (the stack of deltas you mention in question
3).
2. Slightly fewer pointer management during the normal course of
operation, but an allocation if we ever need to reclaim memory.
3. To recompute the ancestry. We have ancestry using the "base"
pointer, but I need to iterate from the oldest to newest, so I
create an array of all the "base" pointers and iterate in reverse.

I agree, and did it in the next patch. Here I left it to preserve the
{link,unlink}_base_data symmetry.

FWIW, I like the breakdown. These are tricky cleanups, and seeing them
individually makes it easy to verify that they don't themselves break
anything. I think they just need more explanation.

Minor, but please use size_t for allocation variables.
> + int i;
Technically this probably ought to be a size_t as well, but I'm much
more concerned about the allocation ones, where we might accidentally
overflow and underallocate a buffer. Overflowing "i" would probably just
lead to an error or bad result.
I _think_ what the patch is actually doing makes sense (taking as an
assumption that it's heading in a useful direction for the end of the
series).

Whenever we make a struct base_data, immediately calculate its delta
children. This eliminates confusion as to when the
{ref,ofs}_{first,last} fields are initialized.

That _seems_ like a good idea, but I'm a little worried just because I
don't entirely understand why it was being done lazily before. If you've
puzzled all that out, it would be nice to make the argument in the
commit message.

A subsequent commit will make the quantum of work smaller, necessitating
more locking. This commit allows resolve_delta() to be called outside
the lock.

I think this is a good direction to go in. I confess I didn't carefully
go over the implementation details, since you've marked this as RFC and
it sounds like you're mainly asking about direction. It looks pretty
reasonable from a high level, though.

Thanks, Stolee and Peff, for taking a look at it. Here is a v2. It is
mostly unchanged, except for expanded commit messages and code comments.
I've also added a documentation clarification that
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit is per-thread, appearing as the first patch in
this patch series.
From patch 3 (now patch 4):

I believe this needs to be signed, since we're iterating in reverse
order, so I made it a ssize_t instead (note the extra "s" in front).

I've added an explanation in the commit message.

index-pack: remove redundant child field
- Instead, recompute ancestry if we ever need to reclaim memory.
+ This is refactoring 1 of 2 to simplify struct base_data.
+
+ In index-pack, each thread maintains a doubly-linked list of the delta
+ chain that it is currently processing (the "base" and "child" pointers
+ in struct base_data). When a thread exceeds the delta base cache limit
+ and needs to reclaim memory, it uses the "child" pointers to traverse
+ the lineage, reclaiming the memory of the eldest delta bases first.
+
+ A subsequent patch will perform memory reclaiming in a different way and
+ will thus no longer need the "child" pointer. Because the "child"
+ pointer is redundant even now, remove it so that the aforementioned
+ subsequent patch will be clearer. In the meantime, reclaim memory in the
+ reverse order of the "base" pointers.

## Commit message ##
index-pack: calculate {ref,ofs}_{first,last} early
+ This is refactoring 2 of 2 to simplify struct base_data.
+
Whenever we make a struct base_data, immediately calculate its delta
children. This eliminates confusion as to when the
{ref,ofs}_{first,last} fields are initialized.
+ Before this patch, the delta children were calculated at the last
+ possible moment. This allowed the members of struct base_data to be
+ populated in any order, superficially useful when we have the object
+ contents before the struct object_entry. But this makes reasoning about
+ the state of struct base_data more complicated, hence this patch.

index-pack: make quantum of work smaller
+ Currently, when index-pack resolves deltas, it does not split up delta
+ trees into threads: each delta base root (an object that is not a
+ REF_DELTA or OFS_DELTA) can go into its own thread, but all deltas on
+ that root (direct or indirect) are processed in the same thread.
+
+ This is a problem when a repository contains a large text file (thus,
+ delta-able) that is modified many times - delta resolution time during
+ fetching is dominated by processing the deltas corresponding to that
+ text file.
+
+ This patch contains a solution to that. When cloning using
+
+ git -c core.deltabasecachelimit=1g clone \
+ https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/third_party/vulkan-cts
+
+ on my laptop, clone time improved from 3m2s to 2m5s (using 3 threads,
+ which is the default).
+
+ The solution is to have a global work stack. This stack contains delta
+ bases (objects, whether appearing directly in the packfile or generated
+ by delta resolution, that themselves have delta children) that need to
+ be processed; whenever a thread needs work, it peeks at the top of the
+ stack and processes its next unprocessed child. If a thread finds the
+ stack empty, it will look for more delta base roots to push on the stack
+ instead.
+
+ The main weakness of having a global work stack is that more time is
+ spent in the mutex, but profiling has shown that most time is spent in
+ the resolution of the deltas themselves, so this shouldn't be an issue
+ in practice. In any case, experimentation (as described in the clone
+ command above) shows that this patch is a net improvement.

Clarify that core.deltaBaseCacheLimit is per-thread, as can be seen from
the fact that cache usage (base_cache_used in struct thread_local in
builtin/index-pack.c) is tracked individually for each thread and
compared against delta_base_cache_limit.

That's true, although I didn't need these cleanups for the rest of my patches,
so I think it's better to defer them to reduce the overall size of the
patch.

This is refactoring 1 of 2 to simplify struct base_data.
In index-pack, each thread maintains a doubly-linked list of the delta
chain that it is currently processing (the "base" and "child" pointers
in struct base_data). When a thread exceeds the delta base cache limit
and needs to reclaim memory, it uses the "child" pointers to traverse
the lineage, reclaiming the memory of the eldest delta bases first.
A subsequent patch will perform memory reclaiming in a different way and
will thus no longer need the "child" pointer. Because the "child"
pointer is redundant even now, remove it so that the aforementioned
subsequent patch will be clearer. In the meantime, reclaim memory in the
reverse order of the "base" pointers.

I had a small complaint that we're allocating new memory in a function
where we are trying to free up space, but in practice it probably
doesn't matter. And this is removed in a later patch anyway.

This is refactoring 2 of 2 to simplify struct base_data.
Whenever we make a struct base_data, immediately calculate its delta
children. This eliminates confusion as to when the
{ref,ofs}_{first,last} fields are initialized.
Before this patch, the delta children were calculated at the last
possible moment. This allowed the members of struct base_data to be
populated in any order, superficially useful when we have the object
contents before the struct object_entry. But this makes reasoning about
the state of struct base_data more complicated, hence this patch.

Currently, when index-pack resolves deltas, it does not split up delta
trees into threads: each delta base root (an object that is not a
REF_DELTA or OFS_DELTA) can go into its own thread, but all deltas on
that root (direct or indirect) are processed in the same thread.
This is a problem when a repository contains a large text file (thus,
delta-able) that is modified many times - delta resolution time during
fetching is dominated by processing the deltas corresponding to that
text file.
This patch contains a solution to that. When cloning using
git -c core.deltabasecachelimit=1g clone \
https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/third_party/vulkan-cts
on my laptop, clone time improved from 3m2s to 2m5s (using 3 threads,
which is the default).
The solution is to have a global work stack. This stack contains delta
bases (objects, whether appearing directly in the packfile or generated
by delta resolution, that themselves have delta children) that need to
be processed; whenever a thread needs work, it peeks at the top of the
stack and processes its next unprocessed child. If a thread finds the
stack empty, it will look for more delta base roots to push on the stack
instead.
The main weakness of having a global work stack is that more time is
spent in the mutex, but profiling has shown that most time is spent in
the resolution of the deltas themselves, so this shouldn't be an issue
in practice. In any case, experimentation (as described in the clone
command above) shows that this patch is a net improvement.

As a newb, the addition of a field just called "list" struck me as
needing a more descriptive name. But this makes more sense now after
looking at list.h. And it seems that most uses in other parts of the
code are similarly just named "list".

Seeing several new shared variables made me paranoid about whether or
not these were thread-safe. There are already five mutexes in this file,
but there are no clear descriptions (apart from hints in the lock names)
about which locks protect which variables. It would be nice to make this
a bit more explicit.
I wish we had something similar to Abseil's "GUARDED_BY" annotations [1]
so that we could ensure thread safety with static analysis, but that's
obviously out of scope for this series.

The extra +2 here confused me for a bit, but it makes sense now. You're
subtracting indices to get the length, so you want +1 to make the math
work out, and you're doing it across two different lists. In the edge
case where a list is empty, "first" is 0 and "last" is -1, so the math
still works out.

This part made me uneasy at first, because it looks like we might be
doing work on shared data outside of the work lock. But just prior to
unlocking, we parent->retain_data, so we know it won't be freed. And the
only part we modify is child, which I don't believe is shared with any
other threads.

I think that this patch set should confine itself to the work mutex and
what it controls (since that's what this patch set is affecting), but
admittedly, that is already more than a handful.
The work mutex controls work_head and done_head, and all the struct
base_data contained therein, except for data. However, data is
controlled by the semaphore retain_data (and the semaphore is itself
controlled by the work mutex, as described in the previous sentence):
when retain_data is positive, data can be read from but not written to.
The work mutex also controls base_cache_used but not base_cache_limit.
The work mutex does not control any struct base_data outside of
work_head and done_head, so it is possible to generate a struct
base_data outside the mutex, take the mutex, and add it to the list
(reducing time spent in the mutex).
This scheme seems rather complicated to me, but I couldn't make it
simpler - I was hoping for advice on this. If this is the best we can
do, I can try to document it in code comments.

I think what we need is more complicated than what these annotations
provide, but anyway, Abseil is C++-only, I believe.

That's correct that it made you uneasy (I think the usual solution is to
make data refcounted, but we don't have a refcounting implementation in
Git), and that's correct that my solution was that parent->retain_data
prevents data from being concurrently written to (in this case, freed).
I didn't know how better to implement this.

Yes - in the part you quoted, child is a whole new object (created from
resolve_delta() or make_base()). It is only added to the list within the
mutex (the work_lock()).

This series mostly looks good to me. There were a few parts I had
trouble following or convincing myself were safe, so there could be some
improvements with comments or more explicit commit messages, but no
problems apart from that.

Thanks!
For the rest who are following along, I somehow couldn't "git am" these
on latest master, but I could "git am" these on an old master commit
(from the time of the original work). The subsequent rebase works with
trivially-resolved merge conflicts except for one due to a21781011f
("index-pack: downgrade twice-resolved REF_DELTA to die()", 2020-02-04)
- but that was fixed by changing the relevant assert() command to
if/die().
