Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag
into the cache code.
Description:
Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled
above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed,
as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache
coherency bug in PHDF5.
Solution:
Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper.
Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call.

Remove C99 types from new metadata cache related API calls
Description:
Windows (and perhaps others) don't like int32_t and int64_t. While
we have dealt with the issue internally, it is more of a problem
in API calls.
Solution:
Convert int32_t to int and int64_t to long int in the
H5AC_cache_config_t structure used by the new metadata cache
related API calls. Added explicit type casts to convert
between internal and external representations.

Add API calls allowing user control of the metadata cache.
Description:
Prior to this update, the metadata cache was not configurable
from outside the library.
Solution:
Add API calls allowing the user to configure the metadata cache
either at file open time, or for any open file. Also added calls
permitting the user to monitor cache size and hit rate. These
latter facilities are needed for "manual" cache size control

New feature
Description:
Add new "block tracker" data structure to library, for tracking blocks of
bytes in a file. Block trackers will be used to keep track of the blocks
belonging to the soon-to-be-implemented "segmented heap" which is designed to
replace the current local & global heaps (starting with the local heap).
Block trackers will also keep track of the free space in the segmented heap
and someday could be used to track the free space in the entire HDF5 file.
They are implemented as a small header of information to cache the state
of the blocks (max & min sizes of blocks tracked, etc.) and the records of
the blocks themselves are stored in a v2 B-tree.

1) Provide facilities in cache to allow us to avoid a potential cache
consistency bug in the parallel case.
2) Clean up a off by one sanity checking bug.
3) Turn off execution of long running tests in debug mode.
Description:
1) In the parallel case, all writes to metadata must be collective,
but reads may not be. In pricipal, this allows us to different
contents in different caches. This isn't a problem as long as the
correct data is always on disk, but unless we can force certain
writes immediately, that need not be the case.
2) & 3) should need no further explanation.
Solution:
1) Add code allowing us to mark cache entries, and then force
these entries to be flushed at a later time.
Note that to actually avoid the bug, we will have to modify
existing code to use these new features.
2) & 3) should need no further explanation.
Platforms tested:
heping (serial debug and production)
committest (copper, sol, and heping). test failed on heping in the
c++ portion of the build, but at Quincey's siggestion, I am proceeding

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Modify the cache code (H5C) to support automatic cache resizing to
adapt to the work load at run time.
Description:
Different applications require different sized caches to maintain
an acceptable hit rate. This set of changes attempts to provide the
ability to adjust to circumstances automatically.
Solution:
Added highly configurable code to allow the user to either set a
fixed cache size, or allow the cache to grow and shrink according to
conditions.
If enabled, cache size increases are triggered when the hit rate
drops below a user specified threshold in a user specified interval.
Cache size reductions (if enabled) are triggered when either the
hit rate exceeds some user specified threshold over a user specified
interval, when the cache contains "enough" entries that haven't been
accessed for a user specified interval, or some mix of the above.
See the header comments on the H5C_auto_size_ctl_t structure in
H5Cprivate.h for further details.
At present, the cache resize configuration options are not
accessible via the user API. Must add this.

performance.
Description:
Replaced the old metadata cache with a cache with a modified LRU
replacement policy. This should improve the hit rate.
Solution:
Since we want to flush cache entries in increasing address order, I
used the threaded binary B-tree code to store the cache entries.
There is a fair bit of overhead here, so we may want to consider
other options.
While the code is designed to allow the support of other replacement
algorithms, at present, only a modified version of LRU is supported.
The modified LRU algorithm requires that a user selectable portion
of the cache entries be clean. The clean entries are evicted first
when writes are not permitted. If the pool of clean entries is used
up, the cache grows beyond its user specified maximum size. The
cache can also exceed its maximum size if the combined size of the
protected (or locked) entries exceeds the maximum size of the cache.

Code cleanup & minor optimization
Description:
Re-work the way interface initialization routines are specified in the
library to avoid the overhead of checking for them in routines where there is
no interface initialization routine. This cleans up warnings with gcc 3.4,

library's execution slightly.

Checkpoint checkin of FP bug fixes. FP is still quite
buggy, but I must go deal with other matters.
Description:
Fixed two major bugs:
1) H5FPserver.c was clobbering meta data in its care.
2) H5FPserver.c was allocating the same space multiple
times, causing both data and meta data corruption.
Also made minor fixes, added debugging code, and familiarized
myself with the FP code.
All development work with FP enabled was done on Eirene.
On this platform, FP now passes its test reliably with
up to 9 processes. At 10 processes it seg faults every
time. I haven't looked into this issue.
There are also several known locking bugs which have to
be fixed. However, they are of sufficiently low probability
that I didn't bother with them on this pass.
FP has not been tested with deletions -- this should be
done.
Also, need to test FP chunked I/O.
Solution:
1) Modified cache in H5FPserver.c to merge changes correctly.
Found and fixed a bug in H5TB.c in passing.
2) Multiple space allocation was caused by a race condition
with set eoa requests.
Most of these eoa requests appeared to be superfluous, so
I deleted them.
Those issued during the superblock read seemed necessary,
so I inserted a barrier at the end of the superblock read,
to prevent races with allocations.

Bug fix
Description:
When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just
comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems
when the raw information contains pointers to other information.
Solution:
Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user
application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of
the property value.
This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development
branch, but not the release branch.

FPHDF5 Update
Description:
Added locking/unlocking to the AC_protect/AC_unprotect calls. The SAP
does all of the caching so nothing should be saved on the client
side. So, when the client unlocks the metadata, it can destroy it.
The metadata is always read from the SAP during a lock.

Update
Description:
A lot of modifications for the FPHDF5 stuff:
H5AC.c
H5ACprivate.h - Removed AC_find (it's replaced with AC_protect
and AC_unprotect). Added flushing if it's an FPHDF5 driver and
we're doing an AC_set or AC_unprotect with the dirty flag set.
H5B.c - Split up the B_flush function into different functions
since the one function was doing serialization which is better
left as a separate entity.
H5D.c - Removed some FPHDF5 code that was incorrect
H5F.c - Split up the F_flush function so that it no longer
allocates file space. Created new functions (F_init_superblock,
F_read_superblock, and F_write_superblock) for greater modularity
and so that the FPHDF5 non-captain processes can read the
superblock after the captain process writes it.
H5FD.c - Error message correction.
H5FDfphdf5.c - Removed MPI barrier call that wasn't needed.
H5FPclient.c
H5FPserver.c - Modified so that if a process requests data that
isn't exactly aligned, we can return it if we have the block that
contains the requested address.
H5G.c
H5Gent.c
H5Gnode.c
H5HL.c
H5HLpkg.h
H5HLprivate.h
H5Oefl.c - Removed the H5HL_peek function since it was doing a
(now unsafe) holding of the information in the cache. Replaced
with protect and unprotect calls.
H5TB.c - Error fix. The TB_dless function wasn't working
properly.
H5Gstab.c - Format change.

H5Edefin.h
H5Einit.h
H5Epubgen.h

Removal of H5AC_find()
Description:
The H5AC_find() function is mostly redundant and with the new
Flexible Parallel HDF5 stuff, we need to do locking on metadata
returned from the H5AC_find() anyway. So, all of the locking stuff
will be placed in the H5AC_{un}protect() functions. The H5AC_find()
is no longer needed.

Replaced all H5AC_finds with H5AC_protects and H5AC_unprotects.

Add the file handle to the metadata cache 'clear' callbacks.

Final support addition for FPHDF5. Wherever there was an equivalent
MPIO or MPIO/POSIX call/check, I placed an FPHDF5 call/check there as
well, with the appropriate #ifdefs in place.
The hdf5.h is updated with the H5FDfphdf5.h driver #include.
Platforms tested:
Linux & Modi4

Bug Fix
Description:
Metadata cache in parallel I/O can cause hangs in applications which
perform independent I/O on chunked datasets, because the metadata cache
can attempt to flush out dirty metadata from only a single process, instead
of collectively from all processes.
Solution:
Pass a dataset transfer property list down from every API function which
could possibly trigger metadata I/O.
Then, split the metadata cache into two sets of entries to allow dirty
metadata to be set aside when a hash table collision occurs during
independent I/O.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}

Code cleanup/new feature.
Description:
Split FUNC_LEAVE into API and non-API specific versions. This allows a
solution to compiling this branch with C++, as well as reducing the size
of the binaries produced.
Platforms tested:

Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces.
Description:
Performance Improvements:
- Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid
constantly looking them up in the FCPL.
- Generic property improvements:
- Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed
up comparisons.
- Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table
to the TBBT routines in the library.
- Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived
from them.
- Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property.
- Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for
properties in each list, where the properties in each list
are shared with the properties in the class, until a
property's value is changed in a list.
- Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers.
- Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>)
internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless
calls to H5open() and H5check_version().
- Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of
constantly re-zeroing them.
- Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset.
- Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when
checking the modification time of a dataset.
- Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the
names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code).
- Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines.
- Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid
calling H5check redundantly.
- Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading
from disk each time. Added new module to track open objects
in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for
some FPH5 metadata caching issues).
- Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups,
and call function instead.
- Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine.
- Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects
in metadata cache and rely on the address only.
- Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation
property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying
for all the property list values.
- Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the
default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for
I/O vector size.
- Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with
more specific default property list based on the type of
property list needed.
- Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*)
routines.
- Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines.
- Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()-
like routines, instead of one combined routine.
- Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines.
- Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when
flushing entire cache out).
- Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned
on, instead of always tracking them.
- Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq).
- Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset
creation by protecting the object header once and making all
the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before
unprotecting it.
- Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed
by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation.
- Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file
has not been involving in file-mounting operations.
- Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII.
- Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap)
out of loops in many group routine.
- Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of
dynamically allocation them each time.
- Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing
group's B-tree twice.
- Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to
performance improvements, but fixed along the way).
- Use free-list for reference counted strings.
- Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries,
since they are re-created when an object is opened.
The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand
small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them. This is
Elena's "regular.c" benchmark.
These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the
development branch when compared to the previous code in the
development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release
branch.
Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and
data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development
branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch.
I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results
as a followup note.
New internal API routines:
Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get
used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings.
Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}

Code cleanup
Description:
Change most (all?) HRETURN_ERROR macros to HGOTO_ERROR macros, along with
HRETURN macros to HGOTO_DONE macros. This unifies the error return path
from functions and reduces the size of the library by up to 10% on some
platforms.
Additionally, I improved a lot of the error cleanup code in many routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.6 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) serial &
parallel.
