 * The dirty entry list maintained via the d_slist_ptr field of H5AC_aux_t

 * H5AC_aux_t are just lists of the file offsets of the dirty/cleaned
 * entries.  Unfortunately, the slist code makes us define a dynamically
 * allocated structure to store these offsets in.  This structure serves
 * that purpose.  Its fields are as follows:
 *
 * addr:	file offset of a metadata entry.  Entries are added to this
 *		list (if they aren't there already) when they are marked
 *		dirty in an unprotect, inserted, or moved.  They are
 *		removed when they appear in a clean entries broadcast.

 *		This function uses this invariant, and will cause arcane

 *		synchronization.  A better option might be to subsume
 *		move in the unprotect operation.
 *
 *		Given that the target entry is in all caches, the function
 *		proceeds as follows:
 *
 *		For processes with mpi rank other 0, it simply checks to
 *		see if the entry was dirty prior to the move, and adds
 *		the entries size to the dirty bytes count.
 *
 *		In the process with mpi rank 0, the function first checks
 *		to see if the entry was dirty prior to the move.  If it
 *		was, and if the entry doesn't appear in the dirtied list
 *		under its old address, it adds the entry's size to the
 *		dirty bytes count.
 *
 *		The rank 0 process then removes any references to the
 *		entry under its old address from the cleaned and dirtied
 *		lists, and inserts an entry in the dirtied list under the
 *		new address.

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:    H5AC__propagate_and_apply_candidate_list
 *
 * Purpose:     Prior to the addition of support for multiple metadata
 *		write strategies, in PHDF5, only the metadata cache with
 *		mpi rank 0 was allowed to write to file.  All other
 *		metadata caches on processes with rank greater than 0
 *		were required to retain dirty entries until they were
 *		notified that the entry was clean.
 *
 *		This constraint is relaxed with the distributed
 *		metadata write strategy, in which a list of candidate
 *		metadata cache entries is constructed by the process 0
 *		cache and then distributed to the caches of all the other
 *		processes.  Once the listed is distributed, many (if not
 *		all) processes writing writing a unique subset of the
 *		entries, and marking the remainder clean.  The subsets
 *		are chosen so that each entry in the list of candidates
 *		is written by exactly one cache, and all entries are
 *		marked as being clean in all caches.
 *
 *		While the list of candidate cache entries is prepared
 *		elsewhere, this function is the main routine for distributing
 *		and applying the list.  It must be run simultaneously on
 *		all processes that have the relevant file open.  To ensure
 *		proper synchronization, there is a barrier at the beginning
 *		of this function.
 *
 *		At present, this function is called under one of two
 *		circumstances:
 *
 *		1) Dirty byte creation exceeds some user specified value.
 *
 *		   While metadata reads may occur independently, all
 *		   operations writing metadata must be collective.  Thus
 *		   all metadata caches see the same sequence of operations,
 *                 and therefore the same dirty data creation.
 *
 *		   This fact is used to synchronize the caches for purposes
 *                 of propagating the list of candidate entries, by simply
 *		   calling this function from all caches whenever some user
 *		   specified threshold on dirty data is exceeded.  (the
 *		   process 0 cache creates the candidate list just before
 *		   calling this function).
 *
 *		2) Under direct user control -- this operation must be
 *		   collective.
 *
 *              The operations to be managed by this function are as
 * 		follows:
 *
 *		All processes:
 *
 *		1) Participate in an opening barrier.
 *
 *		For the process with mpi rank 0:
 *
 *		1) Load the contents of the candidate list
 *		   (candidate_slist_ptr) into a buffer, and broadcast that
 *		   buffer to all the other caches.  Clear the candidate
 *		   list in passing.
 *
 *		If there is a positive number of candidates, proceed with
 *		the following:
 *
 *		2) Apply the candidate entry list.
 *
 *		3) Particpate in a closing barrier.
 *
 *		4) Remove from the dirty list (d_slist_ptr) and from the
 *		   flushed and still clean entries list (c_slist_ptr),
 *                 all addresses that appeared in the candidate list, as
 *		   these entries are now clean.
 *
 *
 *		For all processes with mpi rank greater than 0:
 *
 *		1) Receive the candidate entry list broadcast
 *
 *		If there is a positive number of candidates, proceed with
 *		the following:
 *
 *		2) Apply the candidate entry list.
 *
 *		3) Particpate in a closing barrier.
 *
 * Return:      Success:        non-negative
 *
 *              Failure:        negative

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:    H5AC__tidy_cache_0_lists()
 *
 * Purpose:     In the distributed metadata write strategy, not all dirty
 *		entries are written by process 0 -- thus we must tidy
 *		up the dirtied, and flushed and still clean lists
 *		maintained by process zero after each sync point.
 *
 *		This procedure exists to tend to this issue.
 *
 *		At this point, all entries that process 0 cleared should
 *		have been removed from both the dirty and flushed and
 *		still clean lists, and entries that process 0 has flushed
 *		should have been removed from the dirtied list and added
 *		to the flushed and still clean list.
 *
 *		However, since the distributed metadata write strategy
 *		doesn't make use of these lists, the objective is simply
 *		to maintain these lists in consistent state that allows
 *		them to be used should the metadata write strategy change
 *		to one that uses these lists.
 *
 *		Thus for our purposes, all we need to do is remove from
 *		the dirtied and flushed and still clean lists all
 *		references to entries that appear in the candidate list.
 *
 * Return:      Success:        non-negative
 *
 *              Failure:        negative
