Subject: [PATCH 1/8] midx: start tracking per object database source
Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2025 09:54:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250709-b4-pks-midx-via-odb-alternate-v1-1-f31150d21331@pks.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250709-b4-pks-midx-via-odb-alternate-v1-0-f31150d21331@pks.im>
Multi-pack indices are tracked via `struct multi_pack_index`. This data
structure is stored as a linked list inside `struct object_database`,
which is the global database that spans across all of the object
sources.
This layout causes two problems:
- Multi-pack indices aren't global to an object database, but instead
there can be one multi-pack index per source. This creates a
mismatch between the on-disk layout and how things are organized in
the object database subsystems and makes some parts, like figuring
out whether a source has an MIDX, quite awkward.
- Multi-pack indices are an implementation detail of how efficient
access for packfiles work. As such, they are neither relevant in the
context of loose objects, nor in a potential future where we have
pluggable backends.
Refactor `prepare_multi_pack_index_one()` so that it works on a specific
source, which allows us to easily store a pointer to the multi-pack
index inside of it. For now, this pointer exists next to the existing
linked list we have in the object database. Users will be adjusted in
subsequent patches to instead use the per-source pointers.
