[PATCH 0/3] delta-island fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This fixes a few bugs in the cc/delta-islands topic: one major, and two
minor.

Sadly, the major one was not caught by our test suite, and I'm not sure
how to remedy that. The problem is a memory management one, and happens
only when you have a reasonably large number of objects. So it triggers
readily when run on a real repository, but not on the toy one in t5320.
Creating a much larger repository there would make the test suite more
expensive.

In cases like this I think it's often a good idea to have a perf test.
Those are expensive anyway, and we'd have the double benefit of
exercising the code and showing off the performance improvement. But the
delta-island code only makes sense on a very specialized repo: one where
you have multiple related but diverging histories.  You could simulate
that by picking two branches in a repository, but the effect is going to
be miniscule.

Anyway, here are the fixes without tests. We should at least apply these
before v2.20 ships with the bugs.

  [1/3]: pack-objects: fix tree_depth and layer invariants
  [2/3]: pack-objects: zero-initialize tree_depth/layer arrays
  [3/3]: pack-objects: fix off-by-one in delta-island tree-depth computation
