2026-06-26reftable: split up write optionsPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+1
When initializing the reftable stack the caller may optionally pass some write options. These write options mix up two different concerns though: - Of course, they allow the caller to configure how new reftables are being written. - But they also allow the caller to configure the stack itself, like its hash ID and the `on_reload` callback. This is somewhat awkward, as it doesn't easily give the caller the flexibility to for example write multiple reftables with different options. Furthermore, this requires us to eagerly parse relevant configuration when initializing the reftable backend. Refactor the code by splitting out those options that configure the stack itself. Creating a new stack will thus only require this limited set of options, whereas the caller is expected to pass write options to all functions that end up writing tables.

2025-04-07reftable: fix formatting of the license headerPatrick Steinhardt1-6/+6
The license headers used across the reftable library doesn't follow our typical coding style for multi-line comments. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-11-26reftable: rename scratch bufferPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+2
Both `struct block_writer` and `struct reftable_writer` have a `buf` member that is being reused to optimize the number of allocations. Rename the variable to `scratch` to clarify its intend and provide a comment explaining why it exists.

2024-11-21reftable/writer: optimize allocations by using a scratch bufferPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+1
Both `writer_add_record()` and `reftable_writer_add_ref()` get executed for every single ref record we're adding to the reftable writer. And as both functions use a local buffer to write data, the allocations we have to do here add up during larger transactions. Refactor the code to use a scratch buffer part of the `reftable_writer` itself such that we can reuse it. This signifcantly reduces the number of allocations during large transactions, e.g. when migrating refs from the "files" backend to the "reftable" backend.

2024-10-17reftable: convert from `strbuf` to `reftable_buf`Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
Convert the reftable library to use the `reftable_buf` interface instead of the `strbuf` interface. This is mostly a mechanical change via sed(1) with some manual fixes where functions for `strbuf` and `reftable_buf` differ. The converted code does not yet handle allocation failures. This will be handled in subsequent commits. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com>
2024-01-23reftable: honor core.fsyncJohn Cai1-0/+1
While the reffiles backend honors configured fsync settings, the reftable backend does not. Address this by fsyncing reftable files using the write-or-die api's fsync_component() in two places: when we add additional entries into the table, and when we close the reftable writer. This commits adds a flush function pointer as a new member of reftable_writer because we are not sure that the first argument to the *write function pointer always contains a file descriptor. In the case of strbuf_add_void, the first argument is a buffer. This way, we can pass in a corresponding flush function that knows how to flush depending on which writer is being used. This patch does not contain tests as they will need to wait for another patch to start to exercise the reftable backend. At that point, the tests will be added to observe that fsyncs are happening when the reftable is in use.
