	Files smaller than 8 KiB typically represent ~70% of the entries in /gnu/store/.links but only contribute to ~4% of the space savings afforded by deduplication. 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.
2020-12-15	nar: Deduplicate files right as they are restored.	Ludovic Courtès
	This avoids having to traverse and re-read the files that we have just restored, thereby reducing I/O. * guix/serialization.scm (dump-file): New procedure. (restore-file): Add #:dump-file parameter and honor it. * guix/store/deduplication.scm (tee, dump-file/deduplicate): New procedures. * guix/nar.scm (restore-one-item): Pass #:dump-file to 'restore-file'. (finalize-store-file): Pass #:deduplicate? #f to 'register-items'. * tests/nar.scm <top level>: Call 'setenv' to set "NIX_STORE".
2020-12-15	serialization: 'restore-file' sets canonical timestamp and permissions.	Ludovic Courtès
	* guix/serialization.scm (restore-file): Set the permissions and mtime of FILE. * guix/nar.scm (finalize-store-file): Pass #:reset-timestamps? #f to 'register-items'. * tests/nar.scm (rm-rf): Add 'chmod' calls to ensure files are writable. ("write-file + restore-file with symlinks"): Ensure every file in OUTPUT passes 'canonical-file?'. * tests/guix-archive.sh: Run "chmod -R +w" before "rm -rf".
2020-12-15	serialization: 'fold-archive' notifies about directory processing completion.	Ludovic Courtès
	* guix/serialization.scm (fold-archive): Call PROC with a 'directory-complete tag when done with a directory. (restore-file): Handle it. * guix/scripts/archive.scm (list-contents): Likewise. * guix/scripts/challenge.scm (archive-contents): Likewise. * tests/nar.scm ("write-file-tree + fold-archive"): Adjust accordingly.
