 * Created:     H5C.c
 *              June 1 2004
 *              John Mainzer
 *
 * Purpose:     Functions in this file implement a generic cache for
 *              things which exist on disk, and which may be
 *	 	unambiguously referenced by their disk addresses.
 *
 *              The code in this module was initially written in
 *		support of a complete re-write of the metadata cache
 *		in H5AC.c  However, other uses for the cache code
 *		suggested themselves, and thus this file was created
 *		in an attempt to support re-use.
 *
 *		For a detailed overview of the cache, please see the
 *		header comment for H5C_t in H5Cpkg.h.

/**************************************************************************
 *
 *				To Do:
 *
 *	Code Changes:
 *
 *	 - Remove extra functionality in H5C_flush_single_entry()?
 *
 *	 - Change protect/unprotect to lock/unlock.
 *
 *	 - Flush entries in increasing address order in
 *	   H5C_make_space_in_cache().
 *
 *	 - Also in H5C_make_space_in_cache(), use high and low water marks
 *	   to reduce the number of I/O calls.
 *
 *	 - When flushing, attempt to combine contiguous entries to reduce
 *	   I/O overhead.  Can't do this just yet as some entries are not
 *	   contiguous.  Do this in parallel only or in serial as well?
 *
 *	 - Create MPI type for dirty objects when flushing in parallel.
 *
 *	 - Now that TBBT routines aren't used, fix nodes in memory to
 *         point directly to the skip list node from the LRU list, eliminating
 *         skip list lookups when evicting objects from the cache.
 *
 *	Tests:
 *
 *	 - Trim execution time.  (This is no longer a major issue with the
 *	   shift from the TBBT to a hash table for indexing.)
 *
 *	 - Add random tests.

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:    H5C_apply_candidate_list
 *
 * Purpose:     Apply the supplied candidate list.
 *
 *		We used to do this by simply having each process write 
 *		every mpi_size-th entry in the candidate list, starting 
 *		at index mpi_rank, and mark all the others clean.  
 *
 *		However, this can cause unnecessary contention in a file 
 *		system by increasing the number of processes writing to 
 *		adjacent locations in the HDF5 file.
 *
 *		To attempt to minimize this, we now arange matters such 
 *		that each process writes n adjacent entries in the 
 *		candidate list, and marks all others clean.  We must do
 *		this in such a fashion as to guarantee that each entry 
 *		on the candidate list is written by exactly one process, 
 *		and marked clean by all others.  
 *
 *		To do this, first construct a table mapping mpi_rank
 *		to the index of the first entry in the candidate list to
 *		be written by the process of that mpi_rank, and then use
 *		the table to control which entries are written and which
 *		are marked as clean as a function of the mpi_rank.
 *
 *		Note that the table must be identical on all processes, as
 *		all see the same candidate list, mpi_size, and mpi_rank --
 *		the inputs used to construct the table.  
 *
 *		We construct the table as follows.  Let:
 *
 *			n = num_candidates / mpi_size;
 *
 *			m = num_candidates % mpi_size;
 *
 *		Now allocate an array of integers of length mpi_size + 1, 
 *		and call this array candidate_assignment_table. 
 *
 *		Conceptually, if the number of candidates is a multiple
 *		of the mpi_size, we simply pass through the candidate list
 *		and assign n entries to each process to flush, with the 
 *		index of the first entry to flush in the location in 
 *		the candidate_assignment_table indicated by the mpi_rank
 *		of the process.  
 *
 *		In the more common case in which the candidate list isn't 
 *		isn't a multiple of the mpi_size, we pretend it is, and 
 *		give num_candidates % mpi_size processes one extra entry
 *		each to make things work out.
 *
 *		Once the table is constructed, we determine the first and
 *		last entry this process is to flush as follows:
 *
 *	 	first_entry_to_flush = candidate_assignment_table[mpi_rank]
 *
 *		last_entry_to_flush = 
 *			candidate_assignment_table[mpi_rank + 1] - 1;
 *		
 *		With these values determined, we simply scan through the 
 *		candidate list, marking all entries in the range 
 *		[first_entry_to_flush, last_entry_to_flush] for flush,
 *		and all others to be cleaned.
 *
 *		Finally, we scan the LRU from tail to head, flushing 
 *		or marking clean the candidate entries as indicated.
 *		If necessary, we scan the pinned list as well.
 *
 *		Note that this function will fail if any protected or 
 *		clean entries appear on the candidate list.
 *
 *		This function is used in managing sync points, and 
 *		shouldn't be used elsewhere.
 *
 * Return:      Success:        SUCCEED
 *
 *              Failure:        FAIL
 *
 * Programmer:  John Mainzer
 *              3/17/10
 *
 * Modifications:
 *
 *		Heavily reworked to have each process flush a group of 
 *		adjacent entries.

 *
 *		In general, the max_cache_size parameter must be positive,

 *
 *		The check_write_permitted parameter must either be NULL,

 * Function:    H5C_protect
 *
 * Purpose:     If the target entry is not in the cache, load it.  If
 *		necessary, attempt to evict one or more entries to keep
 *		the cache within its maximum size.
 *
 *		Mark the target entry as protected, and return its address
 *		to the caller.  The caller must call H5C_unprotect() when
 *		finished with the entry.
 *
 *		While it is protected, the entry may not be either evicted
 *		or flushed -- nor may it be accessed by another call to
 *		H5C_protect.  Any attempt to do so will result in a failure.
 *
 *		The primary_dxpl_id and secondary_dxpl_id parameters
 *		specify the dxpl_ids used on the first write occasioned
 *		by the insertion (primary_dxpl_id), and on all subsequent
 *		writes (secondary_dxpl_id).  This is useful in the
 *		metadata cache, but may not be needed elsewhere.  If so,
 *		just use the same dxpl_id for both parameters.
 *
 *		All reads are performed with the primary_dxpl_id.
 *
 *		Similarly, the primary_dxpl_id is passed to the
 *		check_write_permitted function if it is called.
 *
 * Return:      Success:        Ptr to the desired entry
 *              Failure:        NULL
 *
 * Programmer:  John Mainzer -  6/2/04
 *
 * 		JRM -- 11/13/08
 * 		Modified function to call H5C_make_space_in_cache() when
 * 		the min_clean_size is violated, not just when there isn't
 * 		enough space for and entry that has just been loaded.
 *
 *              The purpose of this modification is to avoid "metadata
 *              blizzards" in the write only case.  In such instances,
 *              the cache was allowed to fill with dirty metadata.  When
 *              we finally needed to evict an entry to make space, we had
 *              to flush out a whole cache full of metadata -- which has
 *              interesting performance effects.  We hope to avoid (or
 *              perhaps more accurately hide) this effect by maintaining
 *              the min_clean_size, which should force us to start flushing
 *              entries long before we actually have to evict something
 *              to make space.

 *
 * Function:    H5C__autoadjust__ageout__evict_aged_out_entries
 *
 * Purpose:     Evict clean entries in the cache that haven't
 *		been accessed for at least
 *              (cache_ptr->resize_ctl).epochs_before_eviction epochs,
 *      	and flush dirty entries that haven't been accessed for
 *		that amount of time.
 *
 *		Depending on configuration, the function will either
 *		flush or evict all such entries, or all such entries it
 *		encounters until it has freed the maximum amount of space
 *		allowed under the maximum decrement.
 *
 *		If we are running in parallel mode, writes may not be
 *		permitted.  If so, the function simply skips any dirty
 *		entries it may encounter.
 *
 *		The function makes no attempt to maintain the minimum
 *		clean size, as there is no guarantee that the cache size
 *		will be changed.
 *
 *		If there is no cache size change, the minimum clean size
 *		constraint will be met through a combination of clean
 *		entries and free space in the cache.
 *
 *		If there is a cache size reduction, the minimum clean size
 *		will be re-calculated, and will be enforced the next time
 *		we have to make space in the cache.
 *
 *              The primary_dxpl_id and secondary_dxpl_id parameters
 *              specify the dxpl_ids used depending on the value of
 *		*first_flush_ptr.  The idea is to use the primary_dxpl_id
 *		on the first write in a sequence of writes, and to use
 *		the secondary_dxpl_id on all subsequent writes.
 *
 *              This is useful in the metadata cache, but may not be
 *		needed elsewhere.  If so, just use the same dxpl_id for
 *		both parameters.
 *
 *              Observe that this function cannot occasion a read.
 *
 * Return:      Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:    H5C_flush_invalidate_cache
 *
 * Purpose:	Flush and destroy the entries contained in the target
 *		cache.
 *
 *		If the cache contains protected entries, the function will
 *		fail, as protected entries cannot be either flushed or
 *		destroyed.  However all unprotected entries should be
 *		flushed and destroyed before the function returns failure.
 *
 *		While pinned entries can usually be flushed, they cannot
 *		be destroyed.  However, they should be unpinned when all
 *		the entries that reference them have been destroyed (thus
 *		reduding the pinned entry's reference count to 0, allowing
 *		it to be unpinned).
 *
 *		If pinned entries are present, the function makes repeated
 *		passes through the cache, flushing all dirty entries
 *		(including the pinned dirty entries where permitted) and
 *		destroying all unpinned entries.  This process is repeated
 *		until either the cache is empty, or the number of pinned
 *		entries stops decreasing on each pass.
 *
 *		The primary_dxpl_id and secondary_dxpl_id parameters
 *		specify the dxpl_ids used on the first write occasioned
 *		by the flush (primary_dxpl_id), and on all subsequent
 *		writes (secondary_dxpl_id).
 *
 * Return:      Non-negative on success/Negative on failure or if there was
 *		a request to flush all items and something was protected.

 *
 * Function:    H5C_flush_single_entry
 *
 * Purpose:     Flush or clear (and evict if requested) the cache entry
 *		with the specified address and type.  If the type is NULL,
 *		any unprotected entry at the specified address will be
 *		flushed (and possibly evicted).
 *
 *		Attempts to flush a protected entry will result in an
 *		error.
 *
 *		*first_flush_ptr should be true if only one
 *		flush is contemplated before the next load, or if this
 *		is the first of a sequence of flushes that will be
 *		completed before the next load.  *first_flush_ptr is set
 *		to false if a flush actually takes place, and should be
 *		left false until the end of the sequence.
 *
 *		The primary_dxpl_id is used if *first_flush_ptr is TRUE
 *		on entry, and a flush actually takes place.  The
 *		secondary_dxpl_id is used in any subsequent flush where
 *		*first_flush_ptr is FALSE on entry.
 *
 *		If the H5C__FLUSH_INVALIDATE_FLAG flag is set, the entry will
 *		be cleared and not flushed -- in the case *first_flush_ptr,
 *		primary_dxpl_id, and secondary_dxpl_id are all irrelevent,
 *		and the call can't be part of a sequence of flushes.
 *
 *		If the caller knows the address of the TBBT node at
 *		which the target entry resides, it can avoid a lookup
 *		by supplying that address in the tgt_node_ptr parameter.
 *		If this parameter is NULL, the function will do a TBBT
 *		search for the entry instead.
 *
 *		The function does nothing silently if there is no entry
 *		at the supplied address, or if the entry found has the
 *		wrong type.
 *
 * Return:      Non-negative on success/Negative on failure or if there was
 *		an attempt to flush a protected item.

 * Function:    H5C_make_space_in_cache
 *
 * Purpose:     Attempt to evict cache entries until the index_size
 *		is at least needed_space below max_cache_size.
 *
 *		In passing, also attempt to bring cLRU_list_size to a
 *		value greater than min_clean_size.
 *
 *		Depending on circumstances, both of these goals may
 *		be impossible, as in parallel mode, we must avoid generating
 *		a write as part of a read (to avoid deadlock in collective
 *		I/O), and in all cases, it is possible (though hopefully
 *		highly unlikely) that the protected list may exceed the
 *		maximum size of the cache.
 *
 *		Thus the function simply does its best, returning success
 *		unless an error is encountered.
 *
 *		The primary_dxpl_id and secondary_dxpl_id parameters
 *		specify the dxpl_ids used on the first write occasioned
 *		by the call (primary_dxpl_id), and on all subsequent
 *		writes (secondary_dxpl_id).  This is useful in the metadata
 *		cache, but may not be needed elsewhere.  If so, just use the
 *		same dxpl_id for both parameters.
 *
 *		Observe that this function cannot occasion a read.
 *
 * Return:      Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.
 *
 * Programmer:  John Mainzer, 5/14/04
 *
 *              JRM -- 11/13/08
 *              Modified function to always observe the min_clean_size
 *              whether we are maintaining the clean and dirt LRU lists
 *              or not.  To do this, we had to add the new clean_index_size
 *              and dirty_index_size fields to H5C_t, and supporting code
 *              as needed throughout the cache.
 *
 *              The purpose of this modification is to avoid "metadata
 *              blizzards" in the write only case.  In such instances,
 *              the cache was allowed to fill with dirty metadata.  When
 *              we finally needed to evict an entry to make space, we had
 *              to flush out a whole cache full of metadata -- which has
 *              interesting performance effects.  We hope to avoid (or
 *              perhaps more accurately hide) this effect by maintaining
 *              the min_clean_size, which should force us to start flushing
 *              entries long before we actually have to evict something
 *              to make space.
 *
 *              MAM -- 01/06/09
