copies: iterate over children directly (instead of parents)
ClosedPublic

Authored by marmoute on Nov 27 2020, 11:12 AM.

Details

Summary

Before this change we would gather all parent → child edges and iterate on
all parent, gathering copy information for children and aggregating them from
there.

They are not strict requirement for edges to be processed in that specific
order. We could also simply iterate over all "children" revision and aggregate
data from both parents at the same time. This patch does that.

It make various things simpler:

  • since both parents are processed at the same time, we no longer need to cache data for merge (see next changeset for details),
  • we no longer need nested loop to process data,
  • we no longer need to store partial merge data for a rev from distinct loop interaction to another when processing merges,
  • we no longer need to build a full parent -> children mapping (we only rely on a simpler "parent -> number of children" map (for memory efficiency),
  • the data access pattern is now simpler (from lower revisions to higher revisions) and entirely predicable. That predictability open the way to prefetching and parallel processing.

So that new iterations order requires simpler code and open the way to
interesting optimisation.

The effect on performance is quite good. In the worse case, we don't see any
significant negative impact. And in the best case, the reduction of roundtrip
to Python provide us with a significant speed. Some example below:

I feel like I will have to get back to this one, I don't seem to have the necessary brainpower to understand the Python code. In the mean time, I have two comments, one of which might help me.

mercurial/copies.py
282

I find the code hard to follow without at least a docstring explaining the point of the algorithm. The Rust code below is more commented.

rust/hg-core/src/copy_tracing.rs
427

This should be called pop_* instead of get_*, I think

Unnecessary change?

362

When *not* using side-data?

589

New comments here and below in this function should be a separate patch.

Much clearer with the comments. This looks good, aside from the few comments Pulkit and I have left.

It is necessary because we add some utf-8 character in the docstrings (for clarity)

362

Good catch, thanks.

Well it only pop the parent_copies if it won't have any other users, so it is a pop_or_get ? or a get_and_clean ?

get_and_clean is better than get and more correct than pop, I'm fine with that. :)

I am unable to find any utf8 file in codebase and hence not sure how do we feel about them.

cc: @durin42 what do you think about having utf8 files?

Actually, we already have some. See mercurial/metadata.py

I'm fine with having them I suppose.
