[PATCH 1/1] upload-pack: buffer ref advertisement writes
From: Jacob Vosmaer <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-24 14:03:34
In both protocol v0 and v2, upload-pack writes one pktline packet per advertised ref to stdout. That means one or two write(2) syscalls per ref. This is problematic if these writes become network sends with high overhead. This change adds a strbuf buffer to the send_ref callbacks of the v0 ref advertisement and v2's ls-refs. Instead of writing directly to stdout, send_ref now writes into the buffer, and then checks if there are more than 32768 bytes in the buffer. If so we flush the buffer to stdout. To give an example: I set up a single-threaded loop that calls ls-remote (with HTTP and protocol v2) on a local GitLab instance, on a repository with 11K refs. When I switch from Git v2.32.0 to this patch, I see a 50% reduction in CPU time for Git, and 75% for Gitaly (GitLab's Git RPC service). So having these buffers not only saves syscalls in upload-pack, it also saves time in things that consume upload-pack's output. --- ls-refs.c | 13 ++++++++++++- upload-pack.c | 18 +++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
