Singh" , Neeraj Singh Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org From: Neeraj Singh From: Neeraj Singh When adding many objects to a repo with `core.fsync=loose-object`, the cost of fsync'ing each object file can become prohibitive. One major source of the cost of fsync is the implied flush of the hardware writeback cache within the disk drive. This commit introduces a new `core.fsyncMethod=batch` option that batches up hardware flushes. It hooks into the bulk-checkin plugging and unplugging functionality, takes advantage of tmp-objdir, and uses the writeout-only support code. When the new mode is enabled, we do the following for each new object: 1. Create the object in a tmp-objdir. 2. Issue a pagecache writeback request and wait for it to complete. At the end of the entire transaction when unplugging bulk checkin: 1. Issue an fsync against a dummy file to flush the hardware writeback cache, which should by now have seen the tmp-objdir writes. 2. Rename all of the tmp-objdir files to their final names. 3. When updating the index and/or refs, we assume that Git will issue another fsync internal to that operation. This is not the default today, but the user now has the option of syncing the index and there is a separate patch series to implement syncing of refs. On a filesystem with a singular journal that is updated during name operations (e.g. create, link, rename, etc), such as NTFS, HFS+, or XFS we would expect the fsync to trigger a journal writeout so that this sequence is enough to ensure that the user's data is durable by the time the git command returns. Batch mode is only enabled if core.fsyncObjectFiles is false or unset. _Performance numbers_: Linux - Hyper-V VM running Kernel 5.11 (Ubuntu 20.04) on a fast SSD.
