Attach cached JavaScript bytecode sidecars to HTTP response headers so
WebContent can materialize classic and module scripts directly from a
decoded cache blob on cache hits.
Carry the disk cache vary key with the sidecar and reuse it when storing
fresh bytecode, avoiding mismatches against the augmented network
request headers used to create the cache entry.
Keep CORS-filtered module responses intact for status, MIME, and script
creation checks. Read bytecode sidecar data only from the internal
response, and treat decode or materialization failure as a cache miss
that falls back to normal source compilation.
Add disk cache helpers that store and retrieve sidecar payloads with
the same cache key and vary key as the HTTP response entry. The first
consumer is JavaScript bytecode.
Delete sidecars when the owning entry is removed, evicted, or replaced
by a fresh response. Count their on-disk size toward the cache budget so
bytecode data cannot grow outside eviction accounting.
Disk cache tests cover sidecar round-trips, replacement cleanup, and
eviction size accounting.
This just lets us create fewer cache directories during WPT. We do still
create cache entries on disk, so for WPT, we introduce an extra cache
key to prevent conflicts. There is an existing FIXME about this.
This adds a settings box to about:settings to allow users to limit the
disk cache size. This will override the default 5 GiB limit. We do not
automatically delete cache data if the new limit is suddenly less than
the used disk space; this will happen on the next request. This allows
multiple changes to the settings in a row without thrashing the cache.
In the future, we can add more toggles, such as disabling the disk
cache altogether.
Rather than letting our disk cache grow unbounded, let's impose a limit
on the estimated total disk cache size. The limits chosen are vaguely
inspired by Chromium.
We impose a total disk cache limit of 5 GiB. Chromium imposes an overall
limit of 1.25 GiB; I've chosen more here because we currently cache
uncompressed data from cURL.
The limit is further restricted by the amount of available disk space,
which we just check once at startup (as does Chromium). We will choose a
percentage of the free space available on systems with limited space.
Our eviction errs on the side of simplicity. We will remove the least
recently accessed entries until the total estimated cache size does not
exceed our limit. This could potentially be improved in the future. For
example, if the next entry to consider is 40 MiB, and we only need to
free 1 MiB of space, we could try evicting slightly more recently used
entries. This would prevent evicting more than we need to.
If the cache mode is no-store, we must not interact with the cache at
all.
If the cache mode is reload, we must not use any cached response.
If the cache-mode is only-if-cached or force-cache, we are permitted
to respond with stale cache responses.
Note that we currently cannot test only-if-cached in test-web. Setting
this mode also requires setting the cors mode to same-origin, but our
http-test-server infra requires setting the cors mode to cors.
We currently disable the disk cache because the WPT runner will run more
than one RequestServer process at a time. The SQLite database does not
handle this concurrent read/write access well.
We will now enable the disk cache with a per-process database. This is
needed to ensure that WPT Fetch cache tests are sufficiently handled by
RequestServer.
This directive allows our disk cache to serve stale responses for a time
indicated by the directive itself, while we revalidate the response in
the background.
Issuing requests that weren't initiated by a client is a new thing for
RequestServer. In this implementation, we associate the request with
the client that initiated the request to the stale cache entry. This
adds a "background request" mode to the Request object, to prevent us
from trying to send any of the revalidation response over IPC.
We currently have two ongoing implementations of RFC 9111, HTTP caching.
In order to consolidate these, this patch moves the implementation from
RequestServer to LibHTTP for re-use within LibWeb.
