Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 9ac3f0e5b3 pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large deltas
Let's start with some background about oe_delta_size() and
oe_set_delta_size(). If you already know, skip the next paragraph.

These two are added in 0aca34e826 (pack-objects: shrink delta_size
field in struct object_entry - 2018-04-14) to help reduce 'struct
object_entry' size. The delta size field in this struct is reduced to
only contain max 1MB. So if any new delta is produced and larger than
1MB, it's dropped because we can't really save such a large size
anywhere. Fallback is provided in case existing packfiles already have
large deltas, then we can retrieve it from the pack.

While this should help small machines repacking large repos without
large deltas (i.e. less memory pressure), dropping large deltas during
the delta selection process could end up with worse pack files. And if
existing packfiles already have >1MB delta and pack-objects is
instructed to not reuse deltas, all of them will be dropped on the
floor, and the resulting pack would be definitely bigger.

There is also a regression in terms of CPU/IO if we have large on-disk
deltas because fallback code needs to parse the pack every time the
delta size is needed and just access to the mmap'd pack data is enough
for extra page faults when memory is under pressure.

Both of these issues were reported on the mailing list. Here's some
numbers for comparison.

    Version  Pack (MB)  MaxRSS(kB)  Time (s)
    -------  ---------  ----------  --------
     2.17.0     5498     43513628    2494.85
     2.18.0    10531     40449596    4168.94

This patch provides a better fallback that is

- cheaper in terms of cpu and io because we won't have to read
  existing pack files as much

- better in terms of pack size because the pack heuristics is back to
  2.17.0 time, we do not drop large deltas at all

If we encounter any delta (on-disk or created during try_delta phase)
that is larger than the 1MB limit, we stop using delta_size_ field for
this because it can't contain such size anyway. A new array of delta
size is dynamically allocated and can hold all the deltas that 2.17.0
can. This array only contains delta sizes that delta_size_ can't
contain.

With this, we do not have to drop deltas in try_delta() anymore. Of
course the downside is we use slightly more memory, even compared to
2.17.0. But since this is considered an uncommon case, a bit more
memory consumption should not be a problem.

Delta size limit is also raised from 1MB to 16MB to better cover
common case and avoid that extra memory consumption (99.999% deltas in
this reported repo are under 12MB; Jeff noted binary artifacts topped
out at about 3MB in some other private repos). Other fields are
shuffled around to keep this struct packed tight. We don't use more
memory in common case even with this limit update.

A note about thread synchronization. Since this code can be run in
parallel during delta searching phase, we need a mutex. The realloc
part in packlist_alloc() is not protected because it only happens
during the object counting phase, which is always single-threaded.

Access to e->delta_size_ (and by extension
pack->delta_size[e - pack->objects]) is unprotected as before, the
thread scheduler in pack-objects must make sure "e" is never updated
by two different threads.

The area under the new lock is as small as possible, avoiding locking
at all in common case, since lock contention with high thread count
could be expensive (most blobs are small enough that delta compute
time is short and we end up taking the lock very often). The previous
attempt to always hold a lock in oe_delta_size() and
oe_set_delta_size() increases execution time by 33% when repacking
linux.git with with 40 threads.

/*
* The size of struct nearly determines pack-objects's memory
* consumption. This struct is packed tight for that reason. When you
* add or reorder something in this struct, think a bit about this.
*
* basic object info
* -----------------
* idx.oid is filled up before delta searching starts. idx.crc32 is
* only valid after the object is written out and will be used for
* generating the index. idx.offset will be both gradually set and
* used in writing phase (base objects get offset first, then deltas
* refer to them)
*
* "size" is the uncompressed object size. Compressed size of the raw
* data for an object in a pack is not stored anywhere but is computed
* and made available when reverse .idx is made. Note that when a
* delta is reused, "size" is the uncompressed _delta_ size, not the
* canonical one after the delta has been applied.
*
* "hash" contains a path name hash which is used for sorting the
* delta list and also during delta searching. Once prepare_pack()
* returns it's no longer needed.
*
* source pack info
* ----------------
* The (in_pack, in_pack_offset) tuple contains the location of the
* object in the source pack. in_pack_header_size allows quickly
* skipping the header and going straight to the zlib stream.
*
* "type" and "in_pack_type" both describe object type. in_pack_type
* may contain a delta type, while type is always the canonical type.
*
* deltas
* ------
* Delta links (delta, delta_child and delta_sibling) are created to
* reflect that delta graph from the source pack then updated or added
* during delta searching phase when we find better deltas.
*
* delta_child and delta_sibling are last needed in
* compute_write_order(). "delta" and "delta_size" must remain valid
* at object writing phase in case the delta is not cached.
*
* If a delta is cached in memory and is compressed, delta_data points
* to the data and z_delta_size contains the compressed size. If it's
* uncompressed [1], z_delta_size must be zero. delta_size is always
* the uncompressed size and must be valid even if the delta is not
* cached.
*
* [1] during try_delta phase we don't bother with compressing because
* the delta could be quickly replaced with a better one.
