2012-06-20ntdb: fix occasional abort in testing.Rusty Russell1-1/+7
Occasionally, the capability test inserts multiple used records and they clash, but our primitive test layout engine doesn't handle hash clashes and aborts. Force a seed value which we know doesn't clash.

2012-06-19ntdb: optimize ntdb_fetch.Rusty Russell7-51/+59
We access the key on lookup, then access the data in the caller. It makes more sense to access both at once. We also put in a likely() for the case where the hash is not chained.

2012-06-19ntdb: add -h arg to ntdbrestoreRusty Russell1-8/+28
Since our default hashsize is 8192 not 131, we look fat when we convert near-empty TDBs. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2012-06-19ntdb: add NTDB_ATTRIBUTE_HASHSIZERusty Russell2-2/+41
Since we've given up on expansion, let them frob the hashsize again. We have attributes, so we should use them for optional stuff like this. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: remove hash table trees.Rusty Russell36-1662/+1096
TDB2 started with a top-level hash of 1024 entries, divided into 128 groups of 8 buckets. When a bucket filled, the 8 bucket group expanded into pointers into 8 new 64-entry hash tables. When these filled, they expanded in turn, etc. It's a nice idea to automatically expand the hash tables, but it doesn't pay off. Remove it for NTDB. 1) It only beats TDB performance when the database is huge and the TDB hashsize is small. We are about 20% slower on medium-size databases (1000 to 10000 records), worse on really small ones. 2) Since we're 64 bits, our hash tables are already twice as expensive as TDB. 3) Since our hash function is good, it means that all groups tend to fill at the same time, meaning the hash enlarges by a factor of 128 all at once, leading to a very large database at that point. 4) Our efficiency would improve if we enlarged the top level, but that makes our minimum db size even worse: it's already over 8k, and jumps to 1M after about 1000 entries! 5) Making the sub group size larger gives a shallower tree, which performs better, but makes the "hash explosion" problem worse. 6) The code is complicated, having to handle delete and reshuffling groups of hash buckets, and expansion of buckets. 7) We have to handle the case where all the records somehow end up with the same hash value, which requires special code to chain records for that case. On the other hand, it would be nice if we didn't degrade as badly as TDB does when the hash chains get long. This patch removes the hash-growing code, but instead of chaining like TDB does when a bucket fills, we point the bucket to an array of record pointers. Since each on-disk NTDB pointer contains some hash bits from the record (we steal the upper 8 bits of the offset), 99.5% of the time we don't need to load the record to determine if it matches. This makes an array of offsets much more cache-friendly than a linked list. Here are the times (in ns) for tdb_store of N records, tdb_store of N records the second time, and a fetch of all N records. I've also included the final database size and the smbtorture local.[n]tdb_speed results. Benchmark details: 1) Compiled with -O2. 2) assert() was disabled in TDB2 and NTDB. 3) The "optimize fetch" patch was applied to NTDB. 10 runs, using tmpfs (otherwise massive swapping as db hits ~30M, despite plenty of RAM).

NTDB is about 15% larger than TDB1

2012-06-19ntdb: allocator attribute.Rusty Russell15-92/+311

2012-06-19ntdb: still prepare recovery area with NTDB_NOSYNC.Rusty Russell1-10/+8
NTDB_NOSYNC now just prevents the fsync/msync calls, which speeds testing while still providing full coverage. It also provides safety against processes dying during transaction commit (though obviously, not against the machine dying). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: simply disallow NULL names.Rusty Russell3-10/+5
TDB allows this for internal databases, but it's a bad idea, since the name is useful for logging. They're a hassle to deal with, and we'd just end up putting "unnamed" in there, so let the user deal with it. If they don't, they get an informative core dump. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: reduce transaction pagesize from 64k to 16k.Rusty Russell1-1/+1
The performance numbers for transaction pagesize are indeterminate: larger pagesizes means a smaller transaction array, and a better chance of having a contiguous record (more efficient for ntdb_parse_record and some internal operations inside a transaction). On the other hand, large pagesize means more I/O even if we change a few bytes. But it also controls the multiple by which we will enlarge the file, and hence the minimum db size. It's 4k for tdb1, but 16k seems reasonable in these modern times. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: remove last block transactoin logic.Rusty Russell1-44/+1

2012-06-19ntdb: create initial database to be multiple of NTDB_PGSIZE.Rusty Russell8-88/+138
As copied from tdb1, there is logic in the transaction code to handle a non-PGSIZE multiple db, but in fact this only happens for a completely unused database: as soon as we add anything to it, it is expanded to a NTDB_PGSIZE multiple. If we create the database with a free record which pads it out to NTDB_PGSIZE, we can remove this last-page-is-different logic. Of course, the fake ntdbs we create in our tests now also need to be multiples of NTDB_PGSIZE, so we change some numbers there too. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: make sure file is always a multiple of PAGESIZE (now NTDB_PGSIZE)Rusty Russell6-46/+73
ntdb uses tdb's transaction code, and it has an undocumented but implicit assumption: that the transaction recovery area is always aligned to the transaction pagesize. This means that no block will overlap the recovery area. This is maintained by rounding the size of the database up, so do the same for ntdb. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: fix recovery data write.Rusty Russell2-9/+36
We were missing the last few bytes. Found by 100 runs of ntdbtorture -t -k. The transaction test code didn't catch this, because usually those last few bytes are irrelevant to the actual contents of the database. We fix the test. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: enhance external-helper test code.Rusty Russell6-18/+36
Our external test helper is a bit primitive when it comes to doing STORE or FETCH commands: let us specify the data we expect, instead of assuming it's the same as the key. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: use NTDB_LOG_WARNING level for failed open() without O_CREAT.Rusty Russell2-1/+11
This is a fairly common pattern in Samba, and if we log an error on every open it spams the logs. On the other hand, other errors are potentially more serious, so we still use NTDB_LOG_ERROR on them. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2012-06-19ntdb: make fork test more thorough.Rusty Russell2-9/+29
We document that the child of a fork() can do a brunlock() if the parent does a brlock: we should not log an error when they do this. Also, test the case where we fork() and return inside a parse function (which is allowed). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
