[PATCH 0/6] Minor fsmonitor bugfixes, use with `git diff`

[Alex Vandiver]

This cleans up some mistakes I introduced in my previous series, and
switches `git diff` to use the fsmonitor data.

I've noticed that `git checkout HEAD` drops the fsmonitor data, which
surprises me -- the following patch "fixes" that but broke tests, so
there's something I clearly don't understand yet going on here:

[PATCH 3/6] fsmonitor: Update helper tool, now that flags are filled later

[Alex Vandiver]

dd9005a0a ("fsmonitor: delay updating state until after split index is
merged", 2017-10-27) began deferring the setting of the
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID flag until later, such that do_read_index() does
not perform those steps.  This means that t/helper/test-dump-fsmonitor
showed all bits as always unset.

Split out the code which inflates the ewah into CE_FSMONITOR_VALID
bits, and call that from t/helper/test-dump-fsmonitor.  We cannot
simply switch the code to call read_index_from or the more specific
tweak_fsmonitor, because the latter would modify the extension state
by calling add_fsmonitor.

[PATCH 6/6] fsmonitor: Use fsmonitor data in `git diff`

[Alex Vandiver]

With fsmonitor enabled, the first call to match_stat_with_submodule
calls refresh_fsmonitor, incurring the overhead of reading the list of
updated files -- but run_diff_files does not respect the
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID flag.

Make use of the fsmonitor extension to skip lstat() calls on files
that fsmonitor judged as unmodified.  Skip use of the fsmonitor
extension when called by "add", as the format_callback in such cases
expects to be called even when the file is believed to be "up to date"
with the index.

Notably, this change improves performance of the git shell prompt when
GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE is set.

Perhaps

"Subject: fsmonitor.h: include dir.h"

But I am not sure if this is a right direction to go in.  If a .C
user of fsmonitor needs (does not need) things from dir.h, that file
can (does not need to) include dir.h itself.

I think this header does excessive "static inline" as premature
optimization, so a better "fix" to your perceived problem may be to
make them not "static inline".

Hmph, by default the standard output and standard error streams are
not shown in the test output, and it would help while debugging test
failures, so I am not sure if this is a good change.  With the
previous step [4/6], we can lose the "echo", of course, and I do not
think we need >&2 redirection there, either.

That (and existing) uses of printf() all feel a bit overkill ;-)
Perhaps putchar() would suffice.

I am not sure if the above wants to become something like

	for (i = 0; i < istate->cache_nr; i++) {
        	putchar(istate->cache[i]->ce_flags & CE_FSMONITOR_VALID ? '+' : '-');
		quote_c_style(istate->cache[i]->name, NULL, stdout, 0);
		putchar('\n');
	}

instead of "a single long incomplete line" in the first place.  Your
"fix" merely turns it into "a single long complete line", which does
not quite feel big enough an improvement, at least to me.

I think you got it backwards. Sure, this helps debugging, but it hurts
runtime of the entire test suite (which I might have happened to mention a
couple of times takes way too long on Windows, thanks to our choice of
test "framework").

And in the bigger picture, I think that it is very, very easy to insert
those debugging statements when something breaks (we have to do that with
other tests, anyways).

So I am in favor of this patch, and disagree with your assessment, Junio.

Ciao,
Dscho

Hm; I was patterning based on existing .h files, which don't seem shy
about pulling in other .h files.

Yeah, quite possibly.  Ben, do you recall your rationale for inlining
them in 6a6da08f6 ("fsmonitor: teach git to optionally utilize a file
system monitor to speed up detecting new or changed files.",
2017-09-22) ?

This isn't the right fix, actually.  With split indexes, this puts us
right back into "only shows a few bits" territory, because
do_read_index doesn't know about split indexes.

Which means we need a way to do the whole index load but _not_
add/remove the fsmonitor cache, even if the config says to do so.

The best I'm coming up with is the below -- but I'm not happy with
it, because 'keep' is meaningless as a configuration value outside of
testing, since it's normally treated as an executable path.  This uses
the fact that fsmonitor.c currently has a:

        switch (fsmonitor_enabled) {
        case -1: /* keep: do nothing */
                break;

...despite get_config_get_fsmonitor() havong no way to return -1 at
present.

Is this sort of testing generally done via environment variables,
rather than magic config values?

The more user-digestable form like you describe already exists by way
of `git ls-files -f`.  I am not sure it is worth replicating it.

The only current uses of this tool are in tests, which only examine
the first ("no fsmonitor" / "fsmonitor last update ...") line.  I find
it useful as a brief summary view of the fsmonitor bits, but I suppose
I'd also be happy with just presence/absence and a count of set/unset
bits.

Barring objections from Dscho or Ben, I'll reroll with a version that
shows something like:

    fsmonitor last update 1513821151547101894 (5 seconds ago)
    5 files valid / 10 files invalid

IIUC, existing X.h do pull in Y.h when X.h uses a structure or a
typedef defined in Y.h (but using pointer to such a structure or a
type does not count) defined in Y.h; in such a case, a user of X.h
that wants to use what is defined in X.h would not be able to use
it without somehow knowing the shape of such a structure or type and
would be forced to pull in Y.h itself.  "static inline" falls into
the same category---as it stands, anybody that includes fsmonitor.h
and wants to use one of these static inline functions would need to
have definitions from dir.h, which I agree is wrong and I understand
that you want to include dir.h there.

As I agree that this is test/debug only, I do not care too deeply
either way, as long as it does not end with an incomplete line ;-)
