This is ready for review. I'm going to do another pass to add comments and look for anything unusual I may have missed, but overall I'm happy with its current state.

All of the changes I've made in this PR are behind the enableNewReconciler flag. Merging this to master will not affect the open source builds or the build that we ship to Facebook.

The only build that is affected is the ReactDOMForked build, which is deployed to Facebook behind an experimental flag (currently disabled for all users). We will use this flag to gradually roll out the new reconciler, and quickly roll it back if we find any problems.

Because we have those protections in place, what I'm aiming for with this initial PR is the smallest possible atomic change that lands cleanly and doesn't rely on too many hacks. The goal has not been to get every single test or feature passing, and it definitely is not to implement all the features that we intend to build on top of the new model. When possible, I have chosen to preserve existing semantics and defer changes to follow-up steps. (Listed in the section below.)

(I did not end up having to disable any tests, although if I had, that should not have necessarily been a merge blocker.)

For example, even though one of the primary goals of this project is to improve our model for parallel Suspense transitions, in this initial implementation, I have chosen to keep the same core heuristics for sequencing and flushing that existed in the ExpirationTimes model: low priority updates cannot finish without also finishing high priority ones.

Despite all these precautions, because the scope of this refactor is inherently large, I do expect we will find regressions. The flip side is that I also expect the new model to improve the stability of the codebase and make it easier to fix bugs when they arise.

Technical description of Lanes

This is not a comprehensive description. That would take up many pages. What I've written here is a brief overview intended to help React team members translate from the old model (Expiration Times) to the new one (Lanes). I can write a longer technical document once more of follow-up steps done.

There are two primary advantages of the Lanes model over the Expiration Times model:

  • Lanes decouple the concept of task prioritization ("Is task A higher priority than task B?") from task batching ("Is task A part of this group of tasks?").
  • Lanes can express many distinct task threads with a single, 32-bit data type.

In the old model, to decide whether to include a given unit of work in the batch that's being worked on, we would compare their relative priorities:

const isTaskIncludedInBatch = priorityOfTask >= priorityOfBatch;

This worked because of a constraint we imposed where lower priority tasks were not allowed to complete unless higher priority tasks are also included. Given priorities A > B > C, you couldn't work on B without also working on A; nor could you work on C without working on both B and A.

This constraint was designed before Suspense was a thing, and it made some sense in that world. When all your work is CPU bound, there's not much reason to work on tasks in any order other than by their priority. But when you introduce tasks that are IO-bound (i.e. Suspense), you can have a scenario where a higher priority IO-bound task blocks a lower-priority CPU-bound task from completing.

A similar flaw of Expiration Times is that it's limited in how we can express a group of multiple priority levels.

Using a Set object isn't practical, in terms of either memory or computation — the existence checks we're dealing with are extremely pervasive, so they need to be fast and use as little memory as possible.

As a compromise, often what we'd do instead is maintain a range of priority levels:

const isTaskIncludedInBatch = taskPriority <= highestPriorityInRange && taskPriority >= lowestPriorityInRange;

Setting aside that this requires two separate fields, even this is quite limiting in its expressiveness. You can express a closed, continuous range of tasks. But you can't represent a finite set of distinct tasks. For example, given a range of tasks, how do you remove a task that lies in the middle of the range? Even in cases where we had designed a decent workaround, reasoning about groups of tasks this way became extremely confusing and prone to regressions.

At first by design, but then more by accident, the old model coupled the two concepts of 1) prioritization and 2) batching into a single data type. We were limited in our ability to express one except in terms that affected the other.

In the new model, we have decoupled those two concepts. Groups of tasks are instead expressed not as relative numbers, but as bitmasks:

const isTaskIncludedInBatch = (task & batchOfTasks) !== 0;

The type of the bitmask that represents a task is called a Lane. The type of the bitmask that represents a batch is called Lanes. (Note: these names are not final. I know using a plural is a bit confusing, but since the name appears all over the place, I wanted something that was short. But I'm open to suggestions.)

In more concrete React terms, an update object scheduled by setState contains a lane field, a bitmask with a single bit enabled. This replaces the update.expirationTime field in the old model.

On the other hand, a fiber is not associated with only a single update, but potentially many. So it has a lanes field, a bitmask with zero or more bits enabled (fiber.expirationTime in the old model); and a childLanes field (fiber.childExpirationTime).

Lanes is an opaque type. You can only perform direct bitmask manipulation inside the ReactFiberLane module. Elsewhere, you must import a helper function from that module. This is a trade off, but one that I think is ultimately worth it, since dealing with Lanes can be very subtle, and colocating all the logic will make it easier for us to tweak our heuristics without having to do a huge refactor (like this one) every time.

Commonly seen Expiration Time fields, translated to Lanes

  • renderExpirationtime -> renderLanes
  • update.expirationTime -> update.lane
  • fiber.expirationTime -> fiber.lanes
  • fiber.childExpirationTime -> fiber.childLanes
  • root.firstPendingTime and root.lastPendingTime -> fiber.pendingLanes

Stuff I intentionally omitted from this initial PR

Things that probably block us from rolling this out at Facebook

  • Protection against starvation by high pri React updates. If one update is interrupted by another, that update will never expire. We do get starvation protection from non-React work, via the Scheduler package. However, we shouldn't rely on that, either, since the native Scheduler may or may not have a timeout mechanism.

Future improvements that will build on top

Not a comprehensive list

  • Entanglement, a mechanism to enforce that a lane depends on another one finishing in the same batch. Improvements that will be unlocked by this feature include:
    • Skipping ("canceling") intermediate useTransition states. Only the most recent transition in a sequence of related transitions should be allowed to finish.
    • De-opting useMutableSource less frequently.
  • Working on lanes out of order. This will require us to design a new model for retrying suspended lanes when data is received, since it's infeasible to try every possible combination. Improvements that will be unlocked by this feature include:
    • Parallel UI transitions via useTransition. Currently, a single transition can easily block other transitions from finishing, even if they are in totally unrelated parts of the tree.
    • Arbitrarily long-lived transitions that run in the background, like for refreshing data. Related to previous item.
  • Eagerly computing state updates scheduled via the useState hook. We may do this via entanglement, or we may take advantage of the fact that there are a finite number of non-overlapping batches that an update might render into and precompute each one whenever an additional pending update is scheduled before the queue is flushed.

One is for a trick we use during hydration. If we receive an update to a tree that hasn’t been hydrated yet, we restart at a slightly higher priority to hydrate it, then continue with the update on top. So every async priority has a hydration lane associated with it.

The other extra lane was reserved for a trick that SuspenseList does where it leaves behind work that is slightly lower priority, but that turned out to not be necessary, so I removed it: #18738

Regardless, this whole range is going to go away when we make discrete inputs synchronous, so we can redistribute them to other priorities.

Seb thinks that having an Offscreen component when something is not off screen is confusing. He is worried that people might misunderstand the name and assume that you only need to use Offscreen component if the elements are offscreen, which might result in people not wrapping something with Offscreen until the elements are hidden.

I think "shelf" might be a bit of a colloquialism that isn't very intuitive for a lot of people.

Isn't Offscreen always for things that might be on or off the screen? (e.g. list items that might be scrolled out of viewports, tab containers that might be hidden)

Is the concern that you'd always have an Offscreen wrapper around even the visible items in that case (since we don't support reparenting)?

Maybe something like Conditional would be more accurate/intuitive?

Agree that a public API called Offscreen is confusing. Similar to when we were trying to think of a name for the Suspense component.

The naming considerations are slightly different for this lane, though. The thing that makes OffscreenLane special, aside from it being really low priority, is that we're allowed to not finish it (i.e. it can tear), because the work at that level is not visible to the user.

// TODO: Move this check out of the hot path by moving `resetChildLanes`
// to switch statement in `completeWork`.
(completedWork.tag === LegacyHiddenComponent ||
completedWork.tag === OffscreenComponent) &&
completedWork.memoizedState !== null &&
!includesSomeLane(renderLanes, (OffscreenLane: Lane))

A better solution, though, might be to move resetChildLanes (the function in that snippet) to the switch statement inside completeWork. Then the only thing remarkable about OffscreenLane is that it has the lowest priority.

Why are we retrying IdleLanes if we are not retrying OffscreenLanes? I tried to grep to see where we were using IdleLands outside of schedulerPriorityToLanePriority and I couldn't find other use cases, so I might be missing something here.

The idea is to include anything that might include a pending update that would fix the error that we’re trying to recover from. Offscreen never includes updates, only deferred subtrees.

Another way to look at it is: we don't want to include Offscreen because that work is expensive; for example, it includes hydrating the remaining dehydrated boundaries. So since we know including Offscreen won't fix the error, anyway, might as well exclude it.

Updates that don't have to finish with any particular urgency. Like maybe a background refresh of data. Honestly, we don't have a ton of use cases in practice yet. It might end up merging with the "long transition" lanes.

Spelling: immediately

@acdlite acdlite force-pushed the initial-lanes branch 4 times, most recently from 53c3611 to 4689b2c Compare May 2, 2020 23:20
These tests were written in such a way that when a wakeable has multiple
listeners, only the most recent listener is notified.

I switched them to use a promise instead of mutating a ref.
A refactor of our concurrency and scheduling architecture. Replaces
the ExpirationTime type with a new concept, called Lanes.

See PR facebook#18796 for more information.

All of the changes I've made in this commit are behind the
`enableNewReconciler` flag. Merging this to master will not affect the
open source builds or the build that we ship to Facebook.

The only build that is affected is the `ReactDOMForked` build, which is
deployed to Facebook **behind an experimental flag (currently disabled
for all users)**. We will use this flag to gradually roll out the new
reconciler, and quickly roll it back if we find any problems.

Because we have those protections in place, what I'm aiming for with
this initial PR is the **smallest possible atomic change that lands
cleanly and doesn't rely on too many hacks**. The goal has not been to
get every single test or feature passing, and it definitely is not to
implement all the features that we intend to build on top of the new
model. When possible, I have chosen to preserve existing semantics and
defer changes to follow-up steps. (Listed in the section below.)

(I did not end up having to disable any tests, although if I had, that
should not have necessarily been a merge blocker.)

For example, even though one of the primary goals of this project is to
improve our model for parallel Suspense transitions, in this initial
implementation, I have chosen to keep the same core heuristics for
sequencing and flushing that existed in the ExpirationTimes model: low
priority updates cannot finish without also finishing high priority
ones.

Despite all these precautions, **because the scope of this refactor is
inherently large, I do expect we will find regressions.** The flip side
is that I also expect the new model to improve the stability of the
codebase and make it easier to fix bugs when they arise.

It's a 'get' function but we don't use the return value from it though that's intended, but is that will get confusing?


export function higherPriorityLane(a: Lane, b: Lane) {
// This works because the bit ranges decrease in priority as you go left.
return a !== NoLane && a < b ? a : b;

Is it possible that b equals to NoLane?

In practice no, it's always SelectiveHydrationLane but should probably rename/refactor this to something more specific so it's not used elsewhere.
