1//! Bounded worker pool. Concurrency lives at the archive boundary and nowhere
2//! else, because gzip has no index: member N requires inflating 1..N-1.
3//!
4//! # Ordering
5//!
6//! Output stays in argument order by default: these archives are days, and
7//! argument order is chronological order. That is achieved by holding a
8//! completed archive's buffer until every earlier archive has been emitted —
9//! **not** by joining all workers first. A finished job whose predecessors are
10//! already out is written and freed immediately, so nothing waits on the
11//! slowest archive to be handed to `emit`.
12//!
13//! # What actually bounds memory
14//!
15//! Three separate things, and it is worth being precise about which does what,
16//! because `spill_bytes` alone does far less than its name suggests:
17//!
18//! 1. **Buffer recycling.** Output buffers are owned by this module and pooled.
19//!    A worker takes one, fills it, and the collector `clear()`s it after
20//!    emitting and returns it to the pool. Allocating a fresh buffer per
21//!    archive instead makes peak RSS climb with the *archive count*: each one
22//!    is grown by a realloc chain to that archive's whole match volume and then
23//!    freed, and the allocator does not hand the same span back for the next
24//!    one. Measured at `-j1` on six archives of 120k matching lines: 84 MB
25//!    per-job vs. 22 MB pooled.
26//!
27//!    At `workers == 1` exactly one buffer exists for the whole run, which is
28//!    the case that matters most since `-j1` is the default. In the pool path
29//!    the *count* of live buffers is not capped, and deliberately so: holding
30//!    `k` results in order requires `k` buffers, so a hard cap would be a cap
31//!    on the ordering window. It is not needed either — an unwritten
32//!    `termcolor::Buffer` is an empty `Vec` that has allocated nothing, and the
33//!    ones that did allocate are bounded in *bytes* by `spill_bytes` below.
34//!    What the pool guarantees is that a buffer's allocation is reused rather
35//!    than rebuilt, which is what the realloc chain cost.
36//! 2. **Per-worker state.** `make_worker` is called once per worker thread, not
37//!    once per job, for the same reason — see [`run`].
38//! 3. **`spill_bytes`.** This bounds only the buffers *parked* in `slots`
39//!    waiting for their turn in the order. It does **not** bound peak RSS: the
40//!    `workers` buffers currently being filled, and the batch the collector has
41//!    drained but not yet emitted, are outside the count. Treat it as "how far
42//!    out of order are we willing to hold results", not as a memory ceiling. A
43//!    real run peaked at 286 MB under a 64 MB cap.
44//!
45//! When parked buffers do exceed `spill_bytes`, they are flushed out of order
46//! with a note on stderr. Holding results in order is worth a lot, but not
47//! unboundedly much when a single slow archive is pinning the rest.
48//!
49//! # Design
50//!
51//! One `Mutex` guards the slot vector, the buffer pool, and a little
52//! bookkeeping; one `Condvar` wakes the collector. Workers only ever *deposit*:
53//! pull the next index with a `fetch_add`, do the work outside the lock, then
54//! take the lock just long enough to move the finished [`Done`] into its slot
55//! and notify. Nothing a worker does can block on another worker.
56//!
57//! The calling thread is the collector. It owns `head` and `emitted`, neither
58//! of which is shared, and it calls `emit` *outside* the lock so a slow stdout
59//! — a pipe into `head(1)`, say — never stalls a worker mid-archive.
60//!
61//! Emission order is correct because a slot is written exactly once (position
62//! `p` is handed to exactly one worker by the atomic counter) and read exactly
63//! once (only the collector takes, and only from a slot it then marks emitted).
64//! In sorted mode the collector walks `order`, so it emits the job with the
65//! next-lowest [`Job::index`] only once every lower index has gone out. The one
66//! deliberate exception is the spill above.
67//!
68//! # Panics and early stop
69//!
70//! A panicking job must not be able to hang the process — during an incident a
71//! hang looks like a slow search and gets waited on, which is strictly worse
72//! than a crash. Four independent mechanisms guarantee it cannot, one per place
73//! a thread can leave unexpectedly:
74//!
75//! - [`catch_unwind`](std::panic::catch_unwind) around the call to `work`,
76//!   which turns a panic into an ordinary error on that archive, and a second
77//!   one around `make_worker`, which is likewise the caller's closure.
78//! - a `Completion` drop guard that advances the finished count and wakes the
79//!   collector even if a worker unwinds anyway, once it has claimed a job.
80//! - a `WorkerLife` drop guard covering the rest of the thread's life —
81//!   everything before and between jobs, where `Completion` does not exist yet.
82//!   When the last worker goes with jobs still unclaimed, the collector stops
83//!   waiting and reports those archives as unread, so the run is a 2.
84//! - a `Teardown` drop guard on the collector, releasing workers parked on
85//!   backpressure when it leaves, including by unwinding out of `emit`.
86//!
87//! Each guards a different exit; none of them is redundant with the others, and
88//! the module has hit this failure shape three times, so a new path out of a
89//! thread needs a guard rather than an argument that it cannot be taken.
90//!
91//! `emit` returns `io::Result`, and the first error stops the run: no further
92//! job is started and [`run`] returns the error. That is what makes
93//! `trg ... | head -5` stop searching instead of grinding through a whole
94//! month of archives writing into a closed pipe.
