When dealing with a repository with lots of loose objects, sha1_object_info would rescan the packs directory every time an unpacked object was referenced before finally giving up and looking for the loose object. This caused a lot of extra unnecessary system calls during git pack-objects; the code was rereading the entire pack directory once for each loose object file. This patch looks for a loose object before falling back to rescanning the pack directory, rather than the other way around. Signed-off-by: Steven Grimm <koreth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I discovered this by running strace on a pack-objects that was taking especially long to run; it was making more system calls to scan the pack directory than to do stuff with the loose objects, which didn't seem right. sha1_file.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/sha1_file.c b/sha1_file.c index e281c14..32e4664 100644 --- a/sha1_file.c +++ b/sha1_file.c @@ -1929,11 +1929,18 @@ static int sha1_loose_object_info(const unsigned char *sha1, unsigned long *size int sha1_object_info(const unsigned char *sha1, unsigned long *sizep) { struct pack_entry e; + int status; if (!find_pack_entry(sha1, &e, NULL)) { + /* Most likely it's a loose object. */ + status = sha1_loose_object_info(sha1, sizep); + if (status >= 0) + return status; + + /* Not a loose object; someone else may have just packed it. */ reprepare_packed_git(); if (!find_pack_entry(sha1, &e, NULL)) - return sha1_loose_object_info(sha1, sizep); + return status; } return packed_object_info(e.p, e.offset, sizep); } -- 1.6.0.rc1.66.gc78d7 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
