The 'read_generation_data' member of 'struct commit_graph' was introduced by1fdc383c5(commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire chain does, 2021-01-16). The intention was to avoid using corrected commit dates if not all layers of a commit-graph had that data stored. The logic in validate_mixed_generation_chain() at that point incorrectly initialized read_generation_data to 1 if and only if the tip commit-graph contained the Corrected Commit Date chunk. This was "fixed" in448a39e65(commit-graph: validate layers for generation data, 2021-02-02) to validate that read_generation_data was either non-zero for all layers, or it would set read_generation_data to zero for all layers. The problem here is that read_generation_data is not initialized to be non-zero anywhere! This change initializes read_generation_data immediately after the chunk is parsed, so each layer will have its value present as soon as possible. The read_generation_data member is used in fill_commit_graph_info() to determine if we should use the corrected commit date or the topological levels stored in the Commit Data chunk. Due to this bug, all previous versions of Git were defaulting to topological levels in all cases! This can be measured with some performance tests. Using the Linux kernel as a testbed, I generated a complete commit-graph containing corrected commit dates and tested the 'new' version against the previous, 'old' version. First, rev-list with --topo-order demonstrates a 26% improvement using corrected commit dates: hyperfine \ -n "old" "$OLD_GIT rev-list --topo-order -1000 v3.6" \ -n "new" "$NEW_GIT rev-list --topo-order -1000 v3.6" \ --warmup=10 Benchmark 1: old Time (mean ± σ): 57.1 ms ± 3.1 ms Range (min … max): 52.9 ms … 62.0 ms 55 runs Benchmark 2: new Time (mean ± σ): 45.5 ms ± 3.3 ms Range (min … max): 39.9 ms … 51.7 ms 59 runs Summary 'new' ran 1.26 ± 0.11 times faster than 'old' These performance improvements are due to the algorithmic improvements given by walking fewer commits due to the higher cutoffs from corrected commit dates. However, this comes at a cost. The additional I/O cost of parsing the corrected commit dates is visible in case of merge-base commands that do not reduce the overall number of walked commits. hyperfine \ -n "old" "$OLD_GIT merge-base v4.8 v4.9" \ -n "new" "$NEW_GIT merge-base v4.8 v4.9" \ --warmup=10 Benchmark 1: old Time (mean ± σ): 110.4 ms ± 6.4 ms Range (min … max): 96.0 ms … 118.3 ms 25 runs Benchmark 2: new Time (mean ± σ): 150.7 ms ± 1.1 ms Range (min … max): 149.3 ms … 153.4 ms 19 runs Summary 'old' ran 1.36 ± 0.08 times faster than 'new' Performance issues like this are what motivated702110aac(commit-graph: use config to specify generation type, 2021-02-25). In the future, we could fix this performance problem by inserting the corrected commit date offsets into the Commit Date chunk instead of having that data in an extra chunk.
