[PATCH v4 8/8] unpack-trees: improve performance of next_cache_entry

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

 



From: Victoria Dye <vdye@xxxxxxxxxx>

To find the first non-unpacked cache entry, `next_cache_entry` iterates
through index, starting at `cache_bottom`. The performance of this in full
indexes is helped by `cache_bottom` advancing with each invocation of
`mark_ce_used` (called by `unpack_index_entry`). However, the presence of
sparse directories can prevent the `cache_bottom` from advancing in a sparse
index case, effectively forcing `next_cache_entry` to search from the
beginning of the index each time it is called.

The `cache_bottom` must be preserved for the sparse index (see 17a1bb570b
(unpack-trees: preserve cache_bottom, 2021-07-14)). Therefore, to retain the
benefit `cache_bottom` provides in non-sparse index cases, a separate `hint`
position indicates the first position `next_cache_entry` should search,
updated each execution with a new position.
