eduplication. Not considering these files for deduplication speeds up file insertion in the store and, more importantly, leaves 'removeUnusedLinks' with fewer entries to traverse, thereby speeding it up proportionally. Partly fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/24937>. * config-daemon.ac: Remove symlink hard link check and CAN_LINK_SYMLINK definition. * guix/store/deduplication.scm (%deduplication-minimum-size): New variable. (deduplicate)[loop]: Do not recurse when FILE's size is below %DEDUPLICATION-MINIMUM-SIZE. (dump-port): New procedure. (dump-file/deduplicate)[hash]: Turn into... [dump-and-compute-hash]: ... this thunk. Call 'deduplicate' only when SIZE is greater than %DEDUPLICATION-MINIMUM-SIZE; otherwise call 'dump-port'. * nix/libstore/gc.cc (LocalStore::removeUnusedLinks): Drop files where st.st_size < deduplicationMinSize. * nix/libstore/local-store.hh (deduplicationMinSize): New declaration. * nix/libstore/optimise-store.cc (deduplicationMinSize): New variable. (LocalStore::optimisePath_): Return when PATH is a symlink or smaller than 'deduplicationMinSize'. * tests/derivations.scm ("identical files are deduplicated"): Produce files bigger than %DEDUPLICATION-MINIMUM-SIZE. * tests/nar.scm ("restore-file-set with directories (signed, valid)"): Likewise. * tests/store-deduplication.scm ("deduplicate, below %deduplication-minimum-size"): New test. ("deduplicate", "deduplicate, ENOSPC"): Produce files bigger than %DEDUPLICATION-MINIMUM-SIZE. * tests/store.scm ("substitute, deduplication"): Likewise. Ludovic Courtès
