The "Pushing submodule <foo>" progress output correctly goes to
stderr, but "Fetching submodule <foo>" is going to stdout by mistake.
Fix it to write to stderr.
Noticed while trying to implement a parallel submodule fetch. When
this particular output line went to a different file descriptor, it
was buffered separately, resulting in wrongly interleaved output if
we copied it to the terminal naively.

>From the man page:
EAGAIN The file descriptor fd refers to a file other than a socket
and has been marked nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read
would block.
EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
The file descriptor fd refers to a socket and has been marked
nonblocking (O_NONBLOCK), and the read would block. POSIX.1-2001
allows either error to be returned for this case, and does not
require these constants to have the same value, so a portable
application should check for both possibilities.
If we get an EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK the fd must have set O_NONBLOCK.
As the intent of xread is to read as much as possible either until the
fd is EOF or an actual error occurs, we can ease the feeder of the fd
by not spinning the whole time, but rather wait for it politely by not
busy waiting.
We should not care if the call to poll failed, as we're in an infinite
loop and can only get out with the correct read().

Provide a wrapper to read(), similar to xread(), that restarts on
EINTR but not EAGAIN (or EWOULDBLOCK). This enables the caller to
handle polling itself, possibly polling multiple sockets or performing
some other action.

The new call will read from a file descriptor into a strbuf once. The
underlying call xread_nonblock is meant to execute without blocking if
the file descriptor is set to O_NONBLOCK. It is a bug to call
strbuf_read_once on a file descriptor which would block.

This allows to run external commands in parallel with ordered output
on stderr.
If we run external commands in parallel we cannot pipe the output directly
to the our stdout/err as it would mix up. So each process's output will
flow through a pipe, which we buffer. One subprocess can be directly
piped to out stdout/err for a low latency feedback to the user.
Example:
Let's assume we have 5 submodules A,B,C,D,E and each fetch takes a
different amount of time as the different submodules vary in size, then
the output of fetches in sequential order might look like this:
time -->
output: |---A---| |-B-| |-------C-------| |-D-| |-E-|
When we schedule these submodules into maximal two parallel processes,
a schedule and sample output over time may look like this:
process 1: |---A---| |-D-| |-E-|
process 2: |-B-| |-------C-------|
output: |---A---|B|---C-------|DE
So A will be perceived as it would run normally in the single child
version. As B has finished by the time A is done, we can dump its whole
progress buffer on stderr, such that it looks like it finished in no
time. Once that is done, C is determined to be the visible child and
its progress will be reported in real time.
So this way of output is really good for human consumption, as it only
changes the timing, not the actual output.
For machine consumption the output needs to be prepared in the tasks,
by either having a prefix per line or per block to indicate whose tasks
output is displayed, because the output order may not follow the
original sequential ordering:
|----A----| |--B--| |-C-|
will be scheduled to be all parallel:
process 1: |----A----|
process 2: |--B--|
process 3: |-C-|
output: |----A----|CB
This happens because C finished before B did, so it will be queued for
output before B.

I think we are almost there, but there were still a few more "huh?"
in this patch.
> +/* returns 1 if a process was started, 0 otherwise */
This claim is dubious.
The last four lines of this function marks the i-th slot as in_use,
and increments nr_processes, so that exit codepath clearly is about
"a process was started" and should be returning 1, but the code
returns 0, which looks incorrect.

And this one, when get_next_task() says "nothing more to do", is
clearly "we returned without starting anything", so according to the
comment it should be returning 0, but the code returns 1, which
looks incorrect.

What should happen if start_failure returns without dying?
Shouldn't this function return something, without doing the
remainder of it? i.e.
if (start_command(...)) {
pp->start_failur(...);
return SOMETHING;
}
According to the comment at the beginning, that SOMETHING ought to
be 0, because we did not spawn anything, i.e. we did not increment
nr_processes.
But don't make that change yet; I do not think it is a great
interface to say "did we or did we not add a new process?" anyway
(see below).

And this is "we spawned" that ought to have returned 1.
Perhaps the comment at the beginning is wrong, as the code
consistently does the opposite of what the comment says.
But it does not really matter, as I do not think this should be
returning "did we or did we not start a new process?" (see below).

This inner loop is why I think "did we or did we not spawn a new
process?" is not a great interface.
The reason why it is not a great interface is because there are two
possible reasons why pp_start_one() does not spawn a new process,
and this caller wants to behave differently depending on why it did
not spawn a new process. They are:
* get_next_task() truly ran out of things to do.
* get_next_task() gave us a task, but it did not start, and
start_failure was set not to die (e.g. the function can be used
to tell the next_task machinery that it needs to return a
replacement task for the one that failed to run. That way, upon
next call to get_next_task, a replacement task can run instead of
the old one that failed).
For the former, we want to stop looping, for the latter, we
definitely do want to keep looping, as we want to make another call
to get_next_task() to grab the replacement task for the one that
just failed.
So I think it makes more sense to define the meaning of the return
value from pp_start_one() differently from the way this patch
defines. "Return 0 when we truly ran out of things to do, otherwise
return non-zero", for example, would make more sense. The return
value does not tell you if the call resulted in one more process,
but that is not any loss, as you can look at pp.nr_processes
yourself if you really cared.
With that, the above caller could be updated, with optional gradual
ramp_up, like so:
#define RAMP_UP_LIMIT 2
while (1) {
int ramp_up;
int no_more_task;
for (no_more_task = 0, ramp_up = RAMP_UP_LIMIT;
!no_more_task && ramp_up && pp.nr_processes < pp.max_processes;
ramp_up--)
if (!pp_start_one(&pp))
no_more_task = 1;
if (!pp.nr_processes && no_more_task)
break;
If you prefer to swamp the system with a thundering herd at the
beginning, you can define RAMP_UP_LIMIT to really a high value
instead, e.g. "#define RAMPUP_LIMIT pp.max_processes". I however
would not recommend it because doing so would hurt the perceived
latency at the beginning.
After the system goes into a steady state, how you set RAMP_UP_LIMIT
would not make that much difference, as your slots should be almost
always full and you will be replenishing an open slot with a single
task as each running task finishes, and you would not be running
more than one pp_start_one() at a time anyway.

Right, I forgot about that code path as I was blinded by the obviousness
("If you cannot start a process, of course we'll die").
So for this SOMETHING we need to decide if it should signal
that an immediate retry can be done. But then we could perform the
immediate retry ourselves:
startnewtask:
if (!pp->get_next_task(pp->data,
&pp->children[i].process,
&pp->children[i].err))
return 0;
if (start_command(&pp->children[i].process)) {
pp->start_failure(pp->data,
&pp->children[i].process,
&pp->children[i].err);
goto startnewtask;
}
But this could result in an endless loop.
Even if we would decide to return to the caller run_processes_parallel
and let them decide to try again, this version of the patch may produce an
infinite loop there.
The other alternative would be to make SOMETHING signal to not
immediately try again. ("We failed to start a child process, give it some time
by doing the poll/output and try again")
This however could not finish all workloads reliably as we may fail to start
the first child, such that there are 0 children processes running and the
control loop in run_processes_parallel shuts down the whole parallel processor.
So for now I'd lean on having the SOMETHING be the same boolean as
a successful start (failure -1, successful start 1, no more pending work 0)
and the difference between -1 and 1 can be sorted out in a later patch, which
introduces workloads with failing children.

Right, we actually need to return whether we have nothing more to do
("Don't even try to call me again") or if we did something useful and expect
to do more useful things in the next call. (Either starting anew command or
finding out it failed).
This would be indicated by the -1/1/0 return signals.

I would not have the no_more_task variable, but just reuse
ramp_up and set it to zero in case of !pp_start_one(&pp).
I am not sure if the ramp up machinery is really needed.
I modified the test-run-command test function to start up to 400 processes.
(Most people will use less than 400 processes in the next 5 years), and run
just as in t0061:
./test-run-command run-command-parallel-400 sh -c "printf
\"%s\n%s\n\" Hello World"
The output felt immediate (not slowed down or anything). The numbers seem to
support that
real 0m0.110s
user 0m0.045s
sys 0m0.366s
Any delay below 0.1 second cannot really be perceived by a human. You
can sure tell
a difference of 0.1 second in say 2 acoustic signals or light flashes,
but you cannot
tell that the output "was slow". So IMHO the ramp up machinery doesn't
have a high
priority for now.

Yeah there we could have a simple
if (pp->nr_processes == pp->max_processes)
poll_timeout = 5 seconds
else
poll_timeout = 10..100 milliseconds

I doubt that such an experiment has any value. You are not driving
printf in real life.
You are running "git fetch" that are is a lot more heavy-weight.
Because once each of them started fully they will be network bound,
it is likely that you would want to run more processes than you have
core.

I thought the conclusion would be obvious, but just in case the
readers need the flow of thought completed, from the above it
follows that on a N-core box (say 8-core) you may want to run the
fetch with -j16 (or more). If we start everything at once, the time
before one process starts to produce first meaningful response (I am
not counting the "starting command for submodule-$i" message as
"meaningful") would take twice as long under such condition even if
you have infinite network bandwidth and talking to an infinitely
fast server.
I agree that a full slow-start ramping-up is not necessary in order
to hide the start-up lag. All you need to do is to start just one
and make sure it becomes the foreground, and give it a time alone to
make enough progress to produce an early output without getting
slowed down by system activities caused by the other background
processes in the group that start all at the same time. And once
the foreground process starts showing its output, you can unleash
the remainder of the herd to thunder and nobody would notice as they
run all in the background. Again, I am assuming something like "git
fetch" that takes reasonably large amount of resource and time to
start-up and tear-down.

I can confirm this now.
git fetch --recurse-submodules=yes -j 400
in an submodule-ified Android tree takes very long to start putting out useful
information, but if I hardcode the SPAWN_CAP to 4 it looks pretty amazing
fast.
I'd guess we could have a reasonable default for SPAWN_CAP by
#define SPAWN_CAP min(pp.max_processes + 1, online_cpus)

I think it is a good thing that the caller is passing the whole pp
to this function. One thing you may want to consider is to adjust
the poll(2) timeout longer when the process slots are full.
There is nothing you can gain by returning early due to timeout
without doing anything from this function when you know you cannot
start a new process (here, I am assuming that your poll(2) would be
unblocked for a disconnect when one of the processes exits, letting
you return and letting the caller call collect_finished(), which in
turn would allow us to make some progress).
On the other hand, during the early ramp-up period, you may want to
use a shorter poll(2) timeout to give the caller a chance to spawn
more processes sooner. But that falls into performance tuning that
can and should be left to a later follow-up patch after we get the
basic machinery right.

Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, just like I prefer
"start one" over "start as many as possible" in order to give
scheduling decision to the calling loop, I would expect that such a
follow-up performance tuning would be done by adding another field
to pp tht lets the caller of this function, the overall scheduling
loop, to tweak the timeout used, without this function making the
decision locallly.
Thanks.

To sum up, what I anticipate would happen over time on top of 06/14
is something like this:
* pp_start_one() stuffed unborn child to the list of children when
start_command() failed and start_failure() did not die(); return
to the caller without corrupting children[] list in this case.
* update the semantics of the value returned from pp_start_one()
and adjust the scheduling loop for it.
* allow slow-start of the whole process, so that we do not spawn
tons of processes before starting to read from any of them, to
give a better first-byte latency. This is parameterized and
in this squash, it is set not to do a slow-start.
* make poll(2) timeout used in pp_buffer_stderr() configurable by
the scheduing loop. Raise the timeout when we are already running
as many children as we would at the same time, and lower it when
we are still ramping up.
This squash itself is a mixed bag of things. The first point is to
fix a real issue, while the rest are merely envisioning possible
future. The "envisioning possible future" parts may be illustrative
when deciding what design we want in the basic structure.
An imaginary alternative version would have the top-level loop that
is a mere "these are the things we do" bullet-list that runs "spawn
processes", "slurp in their output with some timeout", "output if
foreground process is ready", and "cull finished children" in order,
which was your original. I would imagine that we would teach "spawn
processes" part to slow-start, "slurp" part to adjust timeout
depending on the fullness of children[] and if the slow-start logic
is still ramping up, etc., in such a code structure by keeping
fields in *pp that corresponds to 'cnt' and 'no_more_task' variables
and have these four steps in the bullet-list communiate and
coordinate among themselves using those fields.
Compared to code that is structured that way, I think the top-level
loop that owns 'cnt' and 'child_timeout' variables to make the
scheduling decisions on its own, and drives "dumb" helper functions
to drive the whole system, which is what this squash attempts to
create, makes the overall logic and structure much clearer to see.
Thanks.

I agree the commit 7087c5f3 (SQUASH??? on top of run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor) makes sense; I arrived at the same
patch after adding in the feedback.
However I have the difference below, which I think could also be squashed in.
when we operate under the assumption that the CPUs are the bottleneck in
the case of parallelism.

I dunno. As I said, while a small part of that commit is necessary
to be squashed into [6/14] (i.e. the "failed to start" bugfix and
redefinition of the return value of start_one()), the remainder of
the commit is primarily to illustrate possible future enhancements
that the basic structure of your code must support, so that we can
get the fundamentals right. Each of the actual "possible future
enhancements" may or may not be a good idea and there is nothing
that back it up. In such a vacuum, I'd prefer to leave them simple
and avoid starting performance tuning prematurely.
One thing that is sort-of backed up already by your "cap to 4"
experiment is that some sort of slow-start ramping up is far better
than letting thundering herd stampede, so I am OK if we kept that
SPAWN_CAP part of the commit.
But even then, we do not know if tying that cap to online_cpu() is a
good idea. Neither of us have a good argument backed by data on it.
It is tempting to imagine, when you have N cores on an otherwise
idle box, the setting of SPAWN_CAP shouldn't make much difference to
how well the first child process makes its initial progress as long
as it does not exceed the number of idle cores N-1 you have at hand.
But that assumes that the task is CPU bound and you have infinite
memory bandwidth. Once the task needs a lot of disk bandwidth to
make its initial progress, which certainly is the case for fetch,
the first child that is spawned together with (SPAWN_CAP-1) other
processes would be competing for the shared resource, and having
more online_cpus() would not help you.
If we are not doing analysis that takes into such factors (and it is
way too premature for us to be tuning), even "online_cpu() - 1" is
unnecessarily too complex than a hardcoded small number (say, "2",
or even "1").
The same thing can be said for the output_timeout selection. "Do
not get stuck for too long until we have fully ramped up. Do not
spin too frequently when there is no more room for a new child" was
something I came up out of thin air as an example of something we
might want to do, and I did write such a code in that commit, but
that was primarily done so that you can clearly see that a better
design would be to allow the caller, i.e. the scheduling loop,
specify output_timeout to buffer_stderr(), and to keep the latter a
"dumb" helper that can be controlled by a more smart caller (as
opposed to hiding such a logic in buffer_stderr() and have a "dumb"
driver call it). The actual output_timeout computation logic is not
well thought out---it may even turn out to be that we are better off
if we lengthened the timeout before we have fully ramped up, to
encourage the first process to produce some output before we give
chance to other new processes to be spawned in the later round.
So for that change, while I think adding that parameter to
buffer_stderr() is something we would want to keep, I'd prefer to
keep the caller simpler by always passing a hardcoded 100 in the
initial version, before we start tuning. And I do not think we want
to start tuning before building a solid foundation to tune.
In short, if I were amending that SQUASH??? commit, I'd probably be

Here is another proposal for squashing.
It's basically both squash proposals by Junio, plus another issues I think
should be done right from the beginning.
[added by sb:]
* If you do not die() in start_failure_fn or return_value_fn, you
don't want to write to stderr directly as you would destroy the fine
ordering of the processes output. So make the err strbuf available in
both these functions, and make sure the strbuf is appended to the
buffered output in both cases.

This fixes the function signature in the first user of the async run processor.

This is a mixed bag of squashes.
* pp_start_one() stuffed unborn child to the list of children when
start_command() failed and start_failure() did not die(); return
to the caller without corrupting children[] list in this case.
* make poll(2) timeout used in pp_buffer_stderr() configurable by
the scheduling loop.
* allow slow-start of the whole process, so that we do not spawn
tons of processes before starting to read from any of them, to
give a better first-byte latency.
* fix the semantics of the value returned from pp_start_one() and
adjust the scheduling loop for it.
[added by sb:]
* If you do not die() in start_failure_fn or return_value_fn, you
don't want to write to stderr directly as you would destroy the fine

I think that is a sensible change. Don't we want the same for the
other failure handler, though. Capture any message from it and
append it to the output of the process that just finished, or
something?
By the way, I understand that these two are solely for early review
and I'll be getting them as either new patches or part of updated
patches in the next reroll (i.e. you are not expecting me to split
these apart and do "rebase -i" for you to the last-posted version).
Asking only to make sure we are on the same wavelength.
Thanks.

Ah, that is already done. Scratch that "don't we want" part.

Sure. I just wanted to point out the details instead of resending the series.
I'll do a resend later today, hoping to get all issues addressed.

Thanks. For something this small, unless there are many small
pieces that need to be picked apart, I do not terribly mind to do
the squashing myself (after all that is what I do every day, prepare
a squash while queuing, do the integration testing and send the
squash out to make sure the original author agrees with it).
I just wanted to make sure that we won't be in a situation where
I am waiting forever expecting you to reroll while you are expecting
me to do the squashing, resulting in no progress getting made until
either one of us starts wondering what is going on.

Another thing I noticed after re-reading the above is that we shared
the thinking that dying in these is _the_ normal thing to do and
continuing is an advanced and/or wierd setting.
And I think it is wrong. Suppose after spawning 15 tasks and while
they are still running, you start the 16th one and it fails to stop.
If your start-failure called die() to kill the controller, what
happens to the 15 tasks that are already running?
I think two sensible choices that start-failure and return-value can
make are
(1) This one task failed, but that is OK. Please let the other
tasks run [*1*].
(2) There is something seriously wrong with the whole world and I
declare an emergency. Please kill the other ones and exit.
Dying in these callbacks do not achieve neither. Perhaps make these
two functions return bool (or enum if you already know a third
sensible option, but otherwise bool is fine and the person who
discovers the need for the third will turn it into enum) to signal
which one of these two behaviours it wants?
And the default handlers should stop dying, of course.
[Footnote]
*1* Because start-failure gets pp, it can even leave a note in it to
ask the next invocation of get-next to retry it if it chooses
to. At this point in the design cycle, all we need to do is to
make sure that kind of advanced usage is possible with this
parallel-run-command API.

(3) There is something wrong, such that I cannot finish my
job, but I know the other 15 processes help towards the goal,
so I want to let them live on until they are done. E.g: fetch submodules
may want to take this strategy if it fails to start another sub
process fetching.
By having a return value indicating which strategy you want to pursue here,
we're making the design choice to have everything done monolithically
inside the pp machinery.
We could also offer more access to the pp machinery and an implementation for
(2) might look like this:
static void fictious_start_failure(void *data,
void *pp,
struct child_process *cp,
struct strbuf *err)
{
struct mydata *m = data;
if (m->failstrategy == 1)
; /* nothing here */
else if (m->failstrategy == 2)
killall_children(pp);
else if (m->failstrategy == 3) {
m->stop_scheduling_new_tasks = 1;
redirect_children_to_dev_null(pp);
else
...
}
By having the pointer to the pp struct passed around, we allow
for adding new callback functions to be added later to the
pp machinery, which may not be expressed via a return code.

How is that different from (1)? Do you meann "let other ones that
are already running continue, but do not spawn any new ones?"

What you are suggesting would lead to the same "different smart
participants making decisions locally, so you need to run around and
follow all the detailed codepaths to understand what is going on"
design.
I was hoping that we have already passed discussing that stage.
The whole point of that "SQUASH???" commit was to correct the design
of the overall structure so that we make the central dispatcher that
uses bunch of "dumb" helpers (that do not make policy decisions
locally on their own) as the single place you need to read in order
to understand the logic.

Right. "Phasing out" before gracefully dying. Well to achieve this,
we don't need more options here. (Just set a flag to not return more
work in get_next_task).

And I thought the discussion there was focused on the internals of the
dispatcher. (You need to only read one place inside _that_ file now)
This discussion would have focused on the public API side (What do we
want to hide, how do we want to hide it?), which would be different enough
for me to warrant a new discussion.
But I guess I'll just go with your suggestion for now to have the return value
indicate a full stop or keep going.

That looks nice and clean in theory, but I highly doubt that it is a
good idea to have killall_children(pp) in a client code of the API
like this, especially if you are envisioning that that function
merely goes through the list of children and does kill on the
processes. If killall_children(pp) is supplied by the API, it makes
things less insane (now it can know and keep up with the evolution
of the API implementation detail, such as how buffered output are
kept and such), but still such an API constrains the structure of
the overall scheduling loop and the helper functions that live on
the API side. You need to make absolutely sure that calling
killall_children() is something that can be sanely done from inside
start_failure() callback, for example.
If you signal the "emergency" with a return value, the callchain on
the API side can choose to do the killing at a place it knows is
safe to do so in a more controlled way. For example, the main loop
of the API side IIRC (I do not bother checking out 'pu' to read it
as my working tree is busy on another topic right now) is
while (1) {
for (cnt = 0; cnt < 4 && we still have slots; cnt++)
start_one();
collect_output();
drain_output_for_foreground();
wait_and_flush();
}
Imagine that you have 0 or more processes running and start another
iteration of this loop. The first task started by start_one() fails
and the above fictitious_start_failure() calls killall_children()
itself. What happens to the other three iteration of the inner
loop? After existing ones are killed, it adds three more?
And to prevent that from happening, you also need to tell your
fictitious_next_task() that no more processes are desired. The
client of the API is forced to coordinate across its multiple
callback functions.
And you did that to gain what? One major thing I can think of is
that that way, the main scheduling loop does not have to know why
after attempting to spawn but failing, fictitious_next_task()
started saying "no more tasks". For somebody who is coming from
"The main loop is a dumb bullet-list of things to do. All smarts
are inside the callee", that might appear to be a good thing.
But I do not think it is a good thing at all. That forces the
reader of the code to not just follow the API layer but even down to
its individual clients of the API to understand what is going on.
If you propagate the return from start_failure() callback upwards,
then the main scheduler would *know* that the client application
does not want any more new tasks, and it does want to abort even the
running tasks, so it will not call fictitious_next_task() in the
first place after the client application declares an "emergency
exit".
And that would make the overall logic a lot easier to follow.

In a later patch we enable parallel processing of submodules, this
only adds the possibility for it. So this change should not change
any user facing behavior.

It appears that this is not just a refactor and loses the logic
around $cloned_modules variable that seems to avoid doing the same

Split the fetching part out to its own function,
this allow us in a later patch to convert cmd_update in C.
