Derrick Stolee 6ab3b8b8b8 midx: use chunk-format read API
Instead of parsing the table of contents directly, use the chunk-format
API methods read_table_of_contents() and pair_chunk(). In particular, we
can use the return value of pair_chunk() to generate an error when a
required chunk is missing.

Taylor Blau 35a8a3547a t: prepare for GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX
In the next patch, we'll add support for unconditionally enabling the
'pack.writeReverseIndex' setting with a new GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX
environment variable.

This causes a little bit of fallout with tests that, for example,
compare the list of files in the pack directory being unprepared to see
.rev files in its output.

Those locations can be cleaned up to look for specific file extensions,
rather than take everything in the pack directory (for instance) and
then grep out unwanted items.

Once the pack.writeReverseIndex option has been thoroughly
tested, we will default it to 'true', removing GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX,
and making it possible to revert this patch.

Junio C Hamano 6bac6a1ef9 Merge branch 'tb/idx-midx-race-fix'
Processes that access packdata while the .idx file gets removed
(e.g. while repacking) did not fail or fall back gracefully as they
could.

* tb/idx-midx-race-fix:

  packfile.c: protect against disappearing indexes

Taylor Blau 506ec2fbda midx.c: protect against disappearing packs
When a packed object is stored in a multi-pack index, but that pack has
racily gone away, the MIDX code simply calls die(), when it could be
returning an error to the caller, which would in turn lead to
re-scanning the pack directory.

A pack can racily disappear, for example, due to a simultaneous 'git
repack -ad',

You can also reproduce this with two terminals, where one is running:

    git init
    while true; do
      git commit -q --allow-empty -m foo
      git repack -ad
      git multi-pack-index write
    done

(in effect, constantly writing new MIDXs), and the other is running:

    obj=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
    while true; do
      echo $obj | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' || break
    done

That will sometimes hit the error preparing packfile from
multi-pack-index message, which this patch fixes.

Right now, that path to discovering a missing pack looks something like
'find_pack_entry()' calling 'fill_midx_entry()' and eventually making
its way to call 'nth_midxed_pack_entry()'.

'nth_midxed_pack_entry()' already checks 'is_pack_valid()' and
propagates an error if the pack is invalid. So, this works if the pack
has gone away between calling 'prepare_midx_pack()' and before calling
'is_pack_valid()', but not if it disappears before then.

Catch the case where the pack has already disappeared before
'prepare_midx_pack()' by returning an error in that case, too.

Taylor Blau c8a45eb66e packfile.c: protect against disappearing indexes
In 17c35c8969 (packfile: skip loading index if in multi-pack-index,
2018-07-12) we stopped loading the .idx file for packs that are
contained within a multi-pack index.

This saves us the effort of loading an .idx and doing some lightweight
validity checks by way of 'packfile.c:load_idx()', but introduces a race
between processes that need to load the index (e.g., to generate a
reverse index) and processes that can delete the index.

For example, running the following in your shell:

    $ git init repo && cd repo
    $ git commit --allow-empty -m 'base'
    $ git repack -ad && git multi-pack-index write

followed by:

    $ rm -f .git/objects/pack/pack-*.idx
    $ git rev-parse HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'

will result in a segfault prior to this patch. What's happening here is
that we notice that the pack is in the multi-pack index, and so don't
check that it still has a .idx. When we then try and load that index to
generate a reverse index, we don't have it, so the call to
'find_pack_revindex()' in 'packfile.c:packed_object_info()' returns
NULL, and then dereferencing it causes a segfault.

Of course, we don't ever expect someone to remove the index file by
hand, or to be in a state where we never wrote it to begin with (yet
find that pack in the multi-pack-index). But, this can happen in a
timing race with 'git repack -ad', which removes all existing packs
after writing a new pack containing all of their objects.

Avoid this by reverting the hunk of 17c35c8969 which stops loading the
index when the pack is contained in a MIDX. This makes the latter half
of 17c35c8969 useless, since we'll always have a non-NULL
'p->index_data', in which case that if statement isn't guarding
anything.

These two together effectively revert 17c35c8969, and avoid the race
explained above.

Junio C Hamano 52b8c8c716 Merge branch 'ds/maintenance-part-2'

Derrick Stolee 52fe41ff1c maintenance: add incremental-repack task
The previous change cleaned up loose objects using the
'loose-objects' that can be run safely in the background. Add a
similar job that performs similar cleanups for pack-files.

One issue with running 'git repack' is that it is designed to
repack all pack-files into a single pack-file. While this is the
most space-efficient way to store object data, it is not time or
memory efficient. This becomes extremely important if the repo is
so large that a user struggles to store two copies of the pack on
their disk.

Instead, perform an "incremental" repack by collecting a few small
pack-files into a new pack-file. The multi-pack-index facilitates
this process ever since 'git multi-pack-index expire' was added in
19575c7 (multi-pack-index: implement 'expire' subcommand,
2019-06-10) and 'git multi-pack-index repack' was added in ce1e4a1
(midx: implement midx_repack(), 2019-06-10).

The 'incremental-repack' task runs the following steps:

1. 'git multi-pack-index write' creates a multi-pack-index file if
   one did not exist, and otherwise will update the multi-pack-index
   with any new pack-files that appeared since the last write. This
   is particularly relevant with the background fetch job.

   When the multi-pack-index sees two copies of the same object, it
   stores the offset data into the newer pack-file. This means that
   some old pack-files could become "unreferenced" which I will use
   to mean "a pack-file that is in the pack-file list of the
   multi-pack-index but none of the objects in the multi-pack-index
   reference a location inside that pack-file."

2. 'git multi-pack-index expire' deletes any unreferenced pack-files
   and updaes the multi-pack-index to drop those pack-files from the
   list. This is safe to do as concurrent Git processes will see the
   multi-pack-index and not open those packs when looking for object
   contents. (Similar to the 'loose-objects' job, there are some Git
   commands that open pack-files regardless of the multi-pack-index,
   but they are rarely used. Further, a user that self-selects to
   use background operations would likely refrain from using those
   commands.)

3. 'git multi-pack-index repack --bacth-size=<size>' collects a set
   of pack-files that are listed in the multi-pack-index and creates
   a new pack-file containing the objects whose offsets are listed
   by the multi-pack-index to be in those objects. The set of pack-
   files is selected greedily by sorting the pack-files by modified
   time and adding a pack-file to the set if its "expected size" is
   smaller than the batch size until the total expected size of the
   selected pack-files is at least the batch size. The "expected
   size" is calculated by taking the size of the pack-file divided
   by the number of objects in the pack-file and multiplied by the
   number of objects from the multi-pack-index with offset in that
   pack-file. The expected size approximates how much data from that
   pack-file will contribute to the resulting pack-file size. The
   intention is that the resulting pack-file will be close in size
   to the provided batch size.

   The next run of the incremental-repack task will delete these
   repacked pack-files during the 'expire' step.

   In this version, the batch size is set to "0" which ignores the
   size restrictions when selecting the pack-files. It instead
   selects all pack-files and repacks all packed objects into a
   single pack-file. This will be updated in the next change, but
   it requires doing some calculations that are better isolated to
   a separate change.

These steps are based on a similar background maintenance step in
Scalar (and VFS for Git) [1]. This was incredibly effective for
users of the Windows OS repository. After using the same VFS for Git
repository for over a year, some users had _thousands_ of pack-files
that combined to up to 250 GB of data. We noticed a few users were
running into the open file descriptor limits (due in part to a bug
in the multi-pack-index fixed by af96fe3 (midx: add packs to
packed_git linked list, 2019-04-29).

These pack-files were mostly small since they contained the commits
and trees that were pushed to the origin in a given hour. The GVFS
protocol includes a "prefetch" step that asks for pre-computed pack-
files containing commits and trees by timestamp. These pack-files
were grouped into "daily" pack-files once a day for up to 30 days.
If a user did not request prefetch packs for over 30 days, then they
would get the entire history of commits and trees in a new, large
pack-file. This led to a large number of pack-files that had poor
delta compression.

By running this pack-file maintenance step once per day, these repos
with thousands of packs spanning 200+ GB dropped to dozens of pack-
files spanning 30-50 GB. This was done all without removing objects
from the system and using a constant batch size of two gigabytes.
Once the work was done to reduce the pack-files to small sizes, the
batch size of two gigabytes means that not every run triggers a
repack operation, so the following run will not expire a pack-file.
This has kept these repos in a "clean" state.

Junio C Hamano a31677dde3 Merge branch 'tb/repack-clearing-midx'
When a packfile is removed by "git repack", multi-pack-index gets
cleared; the code was taught to do so less aggressively by first
checking if the midx actually refers to a pack that no longer
exists.

* tb/repack-clearing-midx:

Taylor Blau e08f7bb093 builtin/repack.c: invalidate MIDX only when necessary
In 525e18c04b (midx: clear midx on repack, 2018-07-12), 'git repack'
learned to remove a multi-pack-index file if it added or removed a pack
from the object store.

This mechanism is a little over-eager, since it is only necessary to
drop a MIDX if 'git repack' removes a pack that the MIDX references.
Adding a pack outside of the MIDX does not require invalidating the
MIDX, and likewise for removing a pack the MIDX does not know about.

Teach 'git repack' to check for this by loading the MIDX, and checking
whether the to-be-removed pack is known to the MIDX. This requires a
slightly odd alternation to a test in t5319, which is explained with a
comment. A new test is added to show that the MIDX is left alone when
both packs known to it are marked as .keep, but two packs unknown to it
are removed and combined into one new pack.

Derrick Stolee d96075428a multi-pack-index: use hash version byte
Similar to the commit-graph format, the multi-pack-index format has a
byte in the header intended to track the hash version used to write the
file. This allows one to interpret the hash length without having the
context of the repository config specifying the hash length. This was
not modified as part of the SHA-256 work because the hash length was
automatically up-shifted due to that config.

Since we have this byte available, we can make the file formats more
obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the
repository.

Add a new oid_version() method in midx.c similar to the one in
commit-graph.c. This is specifically made separate from that
implementation to avoid artificially linking the formats.

The test impact requires a few more things than the corresponding change
in the commit-graph format. Specifically, 'test-tool read-midx' was not
writing anything about this header value to output. Since the value
available in 'struct multi_pack_index' is hash_len instead of a version
value, we output "20" or "32" instead of "1" or "2".

Since we want a user to not have their Git commands fail if their
multi-pack-index has the incorrect hash version compared to the
repository's hash version, we relax the die() to an error() in
load_multi_pack_index(). This has some effect on 'git multi-pack-index
verify' as we need to check that a failed parse of a file that exists is
actually a verify error. For that test that checks the hash version
matches, we change the corrupted byte from "2" to "3" to ensure the test
fails for both hash algorithms.

Derrick Stolee 1eb22c7dd8 multi-pack-index: repack batches below --batch-size
The --batch-size=<size> option of 'git multi-pack-index repack' is
intended to limit the amount of work done by the repack. In the case of
a large repository, this command should repack a number of small
pack-files but leave the large pack-files alone. Most often, the
repository has one large pack-file from a 'git clone' operation and
number of smaller pack-files from incremental 'git fetch' operations.

The issue with '--batch-size' is that it also _prevents_ the repack from
happening if the expected size of the resulting pack-file is too small.
This was intended as a way to avoid frequent churn of small pack-files,
but it has mostly caused confusion when a repository is of "medium"
size. That is, not enormous like the Windows OS repository, but also not
so small that this incremental repack isn't valuable.

The solution presented here is to collect pack-files for repack if their
expected size is smaller than the batch-size parameter until either the
total expected size exceeds the batch-size or all pack-files are
considered. If there are at least two pack-files, then these are
combined to a new pack-file whose size should not be too much larger
than the batch-size.

This new strategy should succeed in keeping the number of pack-files
small in these "medium" size repositories. The concern about churn is
likely not interesting, as the real control over that is the frequency
in which the repack command is run.

Derrick Stolee 3ce4ca0a56 multi-pack-index: respect repack.packKeptObjects=false
When selecting a batch of pack-files to repack in the "git
multi-pack-index repack" command, Git should respect the
repack.packKeptObjects config option. When false, this option says that
the pack-files with an associated ".keep" file should not be repacked.
This config value is "false" by default.

There are two cases for selecting a batch of objects. The first is the
case where the input batch-size is zero, which specifies "repack
everything". The second is with a non-zero batch size, which selects
pack-files using a greedy selection criteria. Both of these cases are
updated and tested.

During development of the multi-pack-index expire subcommand, a

the subtlety of the bug involved the new pack being placed before
other packs that already existed in the multi-pack-index.

Add a test to t5319-multi-pack-index.sh that catches this issue.
The test adds new packs that cause another pack to be expired, and
creates new packs that are lexicographically sorted before and
after the existing packs.

Derrick Stolee ce1e4a105b midx: implement midx_repack()
To repack with a non-zero batch-size, first sort all pack-files by
their modified time. Second, walk those pack-files from oldest
to newest, compute their expected size, and add the packs to a list
if they are smaller than the given batch-size. Stop when the total
expected size is at least the batch size.

If the batch size is zero, select all packs in the multi-pack-index.

Finally, collect the objects from the multi-pack-index that are in
the selected packs and send them to 'git pack-objects'. Write a new
multi-pack-index that includes the new pack.

Using a batch size of zero is very similar to a standard 'git repack'
command, except that we do not delete the old packs and instead rely
on the new multi-pack-index to prevent new processes from reading the
old packs. This does not disrupt other Git processes that are currently
reading the old packs based on the old multi-pack-index.

While first designing a 'git multi-pack-index repack' operation, I
started by collecting the batches based on the actual size of the
objects instead of the size of the pack-files. This allows repacking
a large pack-file that has very few referencd objects. However, this
came at a significant cost of parsing pack-files instead of simply
reading the multi-pack-index and getting the file information for
the pack-files. The "expected size" version provides similar
behavior, but could skip a pack-file if the average object size is
much larger than the actual size of the referenced objects, or
can create a large pack if the actual size of the referenced objects
is larger than the expected size.

Derrick Stolee 2af890bb28 multi-pack-index: prepare 'repack' subcommand
In an environment where the multi-pack-index is useful, it is due
to many pack-files and an inability to repack the object store
into a single pack-file. However, it is likely that many of these
pack-files are rather small, and could be repacked into a slightly
larger pack-file without too much effort. It may also be important
to ensure the object store is highly available and the repack
operation does not interrupt concurrent git commands.

Introduce a 'repack' subcommand to 'git multi-pack-index' that
takes a '--batch-size' option. The subcommand will inspect the
multi-pack-index for referenced pack-files whose size is smaller
than the batch size, until collecting a list of pack-files whose
sizes sum to larger than the batch size. Then, a new pack-file
will be created containing the objects from those pack-files that
are referenced by the multi-pack-index. The resulting pack is
likely to actually be smaller than the batch size due to
compression and the fact that there may be objects in the pack-
files that have duplicate copies in other pack-files.

The current change introduces the command-line arguments, and we
add a test that ensures we parse these options properly. Since
we specify a small batch size, we will guarantee that future
implementations do not change the list of pack-files.

In addition, we hard-code the modified times of the packs in
the pack directory to ensure the list of packs sorted by modified
time matches the order if sorted by size (ascending). This will
be important in a future test.

Derrick Stolee 19575c7c8e multi-pack-index: implement 'expire' subcommand
The 'git multi-pack-index expire' subcommand looks at the existing
mult-pack-index, counts the number of objects referenced in each
pack-file, deletes the pack-fils with no referenced objects, and
rewrites the multi-pack-index to no longer reference those packs.

Refactor the write_midx_file() method to call write_midx_internal()
which now takes an existing 'struct multi_pack_index' and a list
of pack-files to drop (as specified by the names of their pack-
indexes). As we write the new multi-pack-index, we drop those
file names from the list of known pack-files.

The expire_midx_packs() method removes the unreferenced pack-files
after carefully closing the packs to avoid open handles.

Test that a new pack-file that covers the contents of two other
pack-files leads to those pack-files being deleted during the
expire subcommand. Be sure to read the multi-pack-index to ensure
it no longer references those packs.

Derrick Stolee cff9711616 multi-pack-index: prepare for 'expire' subcommand
The multi-pack-index tracks objects in a collection of pack-files.
Only one copy of each object is indexed, using the modified time
of the pack-files to determine tie-breakers. It is possible to
have a pack-file with no referenced objects because all objects
have a duplicate in a newer pack-file.

Introduce a new 'expire' subcommand to the multi-pack-index builtin.
This subcommand will delete these unused pack-files and rewrite the
multi-pack-index to no longer refer to those files. More details
about the specifics will follow as the method is implemented.

Add a test that verifies the 'expire' subcommand is correctly wired,
but will still be valid when the verb is implemented. Specifically,
create a set of packs that should all have referenced objects and
should not be removed during an 'expire' operation. The packs are
created carefully to ensure they have a specific order when sorted
by size. This will be important in a later test.

Jeff King fc78915674 packfile: fix pack basename computation
When we have a multi-pack-index that covers many packfiles, we try to
avoid opening the .idx for those packfiles. To do that we feed the pack
name to midx_contains_pack(). But that function wants to see only the
basename, which we compute using strrchr() to find the final slash. But
that leaves an extra "/" at the start of our string.

We can fix this by incrementing the pointer. That also raises the
question of what to do when the name does not have a '/' at all. This
should generally not happen (we always find files in "pack/"), but it
doesn't hurt to be defensive here.

Let's wrap all of that up in a helper function and make it publicly
available, since a later patch will need to use it, too.

The tests don't notice because there's nothing about opening those .idx
files that would cause us to give incorrect output. It's just a little
slower. The new test checks this case by corrupting the covered .idx,
and then making sure we don't complain about it.

We also have to tweak t5570, which intentionally corrupts a .idx file
and expects us to notice it. When run with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX,
this will fail since we now will (correctly) not bother opening the .idx
at all. We can fix that by unconditionally dropping any midx that's
there, which ensures we'll have to read the .idx.

Derrick Stolee 0465a50506 multi-pack-index: define GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX
The multi-pack-index feature is tested in isolation by
t5319-multi-pack-index.sh, but there are many more interesting
scenarios in the test suite surrounding pack-file data shapes
and interactions. Since the multi-pack-index is an optional
data structure, it does not make sense to include it by default
in those tests.

Instead, add a new GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX environment variable
that enables core.multiPackIndex and writes a multi-pack-index
after each 'git repack' command. This adds extra test coverage
when needed.

There are a few spots in the test suite that need to react to this
change:

* t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: there is a test that checks that
  'git repack' deletes the multi-pack-index. Disable the environment
  variable to ensure this still happens.

* t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh: One test moves a pack-file from the object
  directory to an alternate. This breaks the multi-pack-index, so
  delete the multi-pack-index at this point, if it exists.

* t9300-fast-import.sh: One test verifies the number of files in
  the .git/objects/pack directory is exactly 8. Exclude the
  multi-pack-index from this count so it is still 8 in all cases.

The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object
offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version
1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a
trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets
at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into
that 64-bit table as necessary.

We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that
manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows
us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not
match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match
the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these
offsets during a 'verify' step.
