From c364d5d1e36a9f790b0d610aae1d30d8732b58ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:34:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] * Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual deletion, but determines liveness on demand. I.e. for any path in the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the path itself. This means that the collector can start deleting paths almost immediately. --- src/libstore/gc.cc | 329 ++++++++++++++++++------------------ src/libstore/local-store.hh | 11 +- 2 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 169 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libstore/gc.cc b/src/libstore/gc.cc index 1d4099620..34b5ff267 100644 --- a/src/libstore/gc.cc +++ b/src/libstore/gc.cc @@ -401,7 +401,7 @@ static void addAdditionalRoots(PathSet & roots) if (isInStore(*i)) { Path path = toStorePath(*i); if (roots.find(path) == roots.end() && store->isValidPath(path)) { - debug(format("found additional root `%1%'") % path); + debug(format("got additional root `%1%'") % path); roots.insert(path); } } @@ -442,91 +442,159 @@ Paths topoSortPaths(const PathSet & paths) struct GCLimitReached { }; -void LocalStore::gcPath(const GCOptions & options, GCResults & results, - const Path & path) +struct LocalStore::GCState { - results.paths.insert(path); + GCOptions options; + GCResults & results; + PathSet roots; + PathSet tempRoots; + PathSet deleted; + PathSet live; + PathSet busy; + bool gcKeepOutputs; + bool gcKeepDerivations; + GCState(GCResults & results_) : results(results_) + { + } +}; - if (!pathExists(path)) return; - - /* Okay, it's safe to delete. */ - unsigned long long bytesFreed, blocksFreed; - deleteFromStore(path, bytesFreed, blocksFreed); - results.bytesFreed += bytesFreed; - results.blocksFreed += blocksFreed; - if (options.maxFreed && results.bytesFreed > options.maxFreed) { - printMsg(lvlInfo, format("deleted more than %1% bytes; stopping") % options.maxFreed); - throw GCLimitReached(); +static bool doDelete(GCOptions::GCAction action) +{ + return action == GCOptions::gcDeleteDead + || action == GCOptions::gcDeleteSpecific; +} + + +bool LocalStore::isActiveTempFile(const GCState & state, + const Path & path, const string & suffix) +{ + return hasSuffix(path, suffix) + && state.tempRoots.find(string(path, 0, path.size() - suffix.size())) != state.tempRoots.end(); +} + + +bool LocalStore::tryToDelete(GCState & state, const Path & path) +{ + if (!pathExists(path)) return true; + if (state.deleted.find(path) != state.deleted.end()) return true; + if (state.live.find(path) != state.live.end()) return false; + + startNest(nest, lvlDebug, format("considering whether to delete `%1%'") % path); + + if (state.roots.find(path) != state.roots.end()) { + printMsg(lvlDebug, format("cannot delete `%1%' because it's a root") % path); + goto isLive; } - if (options.maxLinks) { - struct stat st; - if (stat(nixStore.c_str(), &st) == -1) - throw SysError(format("statting `%1%'") % nixStore); - if (st.st_nlink < options.maxLinks) { - printMsg(lvlInfo, format("link count on the store has dropped below %1%; stopping") % options.maxLinks); - throw GCLimitReached(); + if (isValidPath(path)) { + + /* Recursively try to delete the referrers of this path.
