      server: mono-process mode · bdd1f208778c
      Georges Racinet authored
      The forking that the `hgitaly-serve` command is doing by
      default is harmful when we want to debug with pdb: request
      handling always end in an error. The new `--mono-process`
      option solves that by serving directly from the main process.
      This is probably a matter of forwarding all the
      right file descriptors for the tty, but it's not worth
      the investigation time when there is such a simple solution.
      
      Could have done it in the command itself, but this is probably
      easier to maintain in the `server` module and certainly easier
      to test.
      
      No strong assertions that it doesn't fork in the test, but
      coverage proves that the early return got executed; that should
      be enough.

      load_repo: fix the class leak for sharedrepo source as well · 58e290c6dbb1
      Georges Racinet authored
      Previous fixes have been developed and measured in a Python 3.9
      virtualenv (HDK). Replaying the measurements in a Python 3.8 HDK
      (the only supported Python version in all current Heptapod branches)
      immediately showed that this wasn't enough.
      
      After reconstruction of the virtualenv with Python 3.8, it became
      obvious that repository instances (and classes) where doubled, and
      the reason was the systematic instantiation of a sharedrepo source.
      Applying the same treatment for the latter got us back to the
      improvement previously obtained.
      
      It seems frankly dubious that the Python version is really
      implicated, but it could happen: we're after all dealing with stuff
      that the GC didn't clear by itself. Still, it could simply have been
      a matter of library version (not Mercurial, it's the same one).

      load_repo: forcing garbage collection every 1000 calls. · 56bcfbb515df
      Georges Racinet authored
      For something similar with hgweb, look at changeset ff2370a70fe8
      in Mercurial.
      
      Surprisingly, this does not change the memory footprint in our
      current investigations (which is just using examples/client.py
      with more calls). This means that the regular garbage collector
      was able to reap benefits of the parent changeset (calling
      `gc.collect()` is supposed to be more aggressive on the oldest
      generation).
      
      Still, keeping this as a safety net because our example certainly
      wouldn't cover all possible situations
      
      With rates of 100 and 500, the new log lines show us the GC
      working, with more to collect at 500 than at 100. But at 1000,
      we get back to the same amounts of collected objects and time
      spent than with 100. This suggests that this is close to the
      natural rate, hence we aren't really harming performance.
      
      In any case, this is a constant, and we could make it more
      configurable if needed.

      load_repo: main cure for memory leak · 73abd75e439b
      Georges Racinet authored
      This brings down the leaking over 1000 requests from
      55MB to about 5MB. We are not yet forcing garbage collection
      (as `hgwebdir` does).
      
      The `_filteredrepotypes` keeps a correspondence between
      unfiltered repository classes and the filtered version.
      
      The problem is that each new repository is an instance of
      the single-usage class generated in `hgext3rd.topic.reposetup`,
      so these accumulate in `_filteredrepotypes`.
      
      Ironically the mapping seems to be there to avoid some other
      case of leaking:
      
      ```
      # Python <3.4 easily leaks types via __mro__. See
      # https://bugs.python.org/issue17950. We cache dynamically created types
      # so they won't be leaked on every invocation of repo.filtered().
      _filteredrepotypes = weakref.WeakKeyDictionary()
      ```
      
      One could imagine that garbage collection of the repo would also just
      clear its reference from the `WeakKeyDictionary`, but it doesn't
      happen.
      
      A final suprise is that this unlocks the collection of `ui` instances.
      According to investigation made with `guppy3` the class objects were
      actually the ones eating the most memory, but getting rid of `ui`
      instances is also good news.

      load_repo: avoid useless ui object copy · e15ae3992048
      Georges Racinet authored
      Found out while investigating heptapod#466 that actually
      the machinery behind `hg.repository` actually performs a
      copy on its own. Our copy was adding pressure on the
      Python memory system. This does not cure the memory leak,
      but it saves about 2MB of leak over 1000 requests, even though
      it doesn't change the fact that none of these ui instances
      are actually collected (seen through instrumentation not
      part of this changeset).
      
      From `localrepo.py` in Mercurial 5.6.1:
      
      ```
      def makelocalrepository(baseui, path, intents=None):
          """Long docstring not cited here."""
          ui = baseui.copy()
          # Prevent copying repo configuration.
          ui.copy = baseui.copy
          (...)
      ```
      
      Note that this last line actually prevents `baseui` (
      would be the copy we were creating) to be freed immediately.
      
      makelocalrepository in turn is called via this backtrace:
      
      ```
        venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/mercurial/hg.py(221)repository()
      -> peer = _peerorrepo(
        venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/mercurial/hg.py(188)_peerorrepo()
      -> obj = _peerlookup(path).instance(
        venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/mercurial/localrepo.py(3214)instance()
      -> return makelocalrepository(ui, localpath, intents=intents)
      > venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/mercurial/localrepo.py(517)makelocalrepository()
      -> ui = baseui.copy()
      
      ```

      RepositoryService.WriteRef: special ref target can be any revision · 28d8fc467b7a
      Georges Racinet authored
      Found out about this while testing with the Rails app. Of course,
      it is natural for symbolic refs, and doesn't sound very logical
      with normal refs, a result of under-specification ultimately due
      to the fact that Gitaly simply uses `git update-ref`.
      
      We keep refusing ref target revisions for keep-arounds because
      we are much surer that the Rails app will only use full SHAs as
      target revisions. Also, it swallows exceptions, avoiding failures
      if `WriteRef` refuses to create the keep-around
      (see `Gitlab::Git::KeepAround`).
      
      We should have a Gitaly comparison test for this, but we already
      have RSpec tests in the Rails app, so this can be in a follow-up.
