From f3c1db4b2a23fac171a699b10f9328f8df52602f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Tobler Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 13:29:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bulk-checkin: remove ODB transaction nesting ODB transactions support being nested. Only the outermost {begin,end}_odb_transaction() start and finish a transaction. This allows internal object write codepaths to be optimized with ODB transactions without worrying about whether a transaction is already active. When {begin,end}_odb_transaction() is invoked during an active transaction, these operations are essentially treated as no-ops. This can make the interface a bit awkward to use, as calling end_odb_transaction() does not guarantee that a transaction is actually ended. Thus, in situations where a transaction needs to be explicitly flushed, flush_odb_transaction() must be used. To remove the need for an explicit transaction flush operation via flush_odb_transaction() and better clarify transaction semantics, drop the transaction nesting mechanism in favor of begin_odb_transaction() returning a NULL transaction value to signal it was a no-op, and end_odb_transaction() behaving as a no-op when a NULL transaction value is passed. This is safe for existing callers as the transaction value wired to end_odb_transaction() already comes from begin_odb_transaction() and thus continues the same no-op behavior when a transaction is already pending. With this model, passing a pending transaction to end_odb_transaction() ensures it is committed at that point in time.
