 *              Specifically, this means any metadata managers that DON'T
 *              handle space allocation for free space manager header or
 *              section info will reside in the raw data free space manager
 *              ring.
 *
 *              In the absence of page allocation, there is at most one
 *        free space manager per memory type defined in H5F_mem_t.
 *        Of these, the one that allocates H5FD_MEM_DRAW will
 *        always reside in the raw data free space manager ring.
 *        If there is more than one metadata free space manager,
 *        all that don't handle H5FD_MEM_FSPACE_HDR or
 *              H5FD_MEM_FSPACE_SINFO (which map to H5FD_MEM_OHDR and
 *              H5FD_MEM_LHEAP respectively) will reside in the raw
 *        data free space manager ring as well
 *
 *        With page allocation, the situation is conceptually
 *        identical, but more complex in practice.
 *
 *              In the worst case (multi file driver) page allocation
 *        can result in two free space managers for each memory
 *        type -- one for small (less than on equal to one page)
 *              allocations, and one for large (greater than one page)
 *              allocations.
 *
 *        In the more common one file case, page allocation will
 *              result in a total of three free space managers -- one for
 *              small (<= one page) raw data allocations, one for small
 *              metadata allocations (i.e, all memory types other than
 *              H5FD_MEM_DRAW), and one for all large (> one page)
 *              allocations.
 *
 *              Despite these complications, the solution is the same in
 *        the page allocation case -- free space managers (be they
 *              small data or large) are assigned to the raw data free
 *              space manager ring if they don't allocate file space for
 *              free space managers.  Note that in the one file case, the
 *        large free space manager must be assigned to the metadata
 *        free space manager ring, as it both allocates pages for
 *        the metadata free space manager, and allocates space for
 *        large (> 1 page) metadata cache entries.
 *
 *              At present, the task list for this routine is:
 *
 *        1) Reduce the EOA to the extent possible.  To do this:
 *
 *            a) Free both aggregators.  Space not at EOA will be
 *               added to the appropriate free space manager.
 *
 *               The raw data aggregator should not be restarted
 *               after this point.  It is possible that the metadata
 *               aggregator will be.
 *
 *            b) Free all file space currently allocated to free
 *               space managers.
 *
 *            c) Delete the free space manager superblock
 *               extension message if allocated.
 *
 *           This done, reduce the EOA by moving it to just before
 *           the last piece of free memory in the file.
 *
 *        2) Ensure that space is allocated for the free space
 *                 manager superblock extension message.  Must do this
 *                 now, before reallocating file space for free space
 *           managers, as it is possible that this allocation may
 *           grab the last section in a FSM -- making it unnecessary
 *           to re-allocate file space for it.
 *
 *        3) Scan all free space managers not involved in allocating
 *           space for free space managers.  For each such free space
 *           manager, test to see if it contains free space.  If
 *           it does, allocate file space for its header and section
 *           data.  If it contains no free space, leave it without
 *           allocated file space as there is no need to save it to
 *           file.
 *
 *           Note that all free space managers in this class should
 *           see no further space allocations / deallocations as
 *           at this point, all raw data allocations should be
 *           finalized, as should all metadata allocations not
 *           involving free space managers.
 *
 *           We will allocate space for free space managers involved
 *           in the allocation of file space for free space managers
 *           in H5MF_settle_meta_data_fsm()
 *
 * Return:    SUCCEED/FAIL

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:    H5MF_settle_meta_data_fsm()
 *
 * Purpose:     If the free space manager is persistent, handle any tasks
 *        required before the metadata cache can serialize or flush
 *        the metadata free space manager(s) that handle file space
 *        allocation for free space managers.
 *
 *        In most cases, there will be only one manager assigned
 *        to this role.  However, since for reasons unknown,
 *        free space manager headers and section info blocks are
 *        different classes of memory, it is possible that two free
 *        space managers will be involved.
 *
 *        On entry to this function, the raw data settle routine
 *        (H5MF_settle_raw_data_fsm()) should have:
 *
 *      1) Freed the aggregators.
 *
 *        2) Freed all file space allocated to the free space managers.
 *
 *        3) Deleted the free space manager superblock extension message
 *
 *        4) Reduced the EOA to the extent possible.
 *
 *        5) Re-created the free space manager superblock extension
 *           message.
 *
 *        6) Reallocated file space for all non-empty free space
 *           managers NOT involved in allocation of space for free
 *           space managers.
 *
 *           Note that these free space managers (if not empty) should
 *           have been written to file by this point, and that no
 *           further space allocations involving them should take
 *           place during file close.
 *
 *        On entry to this routine, the free space manager(s) involved
 *        in allocation of file space for free space managers should
 *        still be floating. (i.e. should not have any file space
 *        allocated to them.)
 *
 *        Similarly, the raw data aggregator should not have been
 *        restarted.  Note that it is probable that reallocation of
 *        space in 5) and 6) above will have re-started the metadata
 *        aggregator.
 *
 *
 *        In this routine, we proceed as follows:
 *
 *        1) Verify that the free space manager(s) involved in file
 *           space allocation for free space managers are still floating.
 *
 *      2) Free the aggregators.
 *
 *      3) Reduce the EOA to the extent possible, and make note
 *           of the resulting value.  This value will be stored
 *           in the fsinfo superblock extension message and be used
 *         in the subsequent file open.
 *
 *        4) Re-allocate space for any free space manager(s) that:
 *
 *           a) are involved in allocation of space for free space
 *              managers, and
 *
 *           b) contain free space.
 *
 *           It is possible that we could allocate space for one
 *           of these free space manager(s) only to have the allocation
 *           result in the free space manager being empty and thus
 *           obliging us to free the space again.  Thus there is the
 *           potential for an infinite loop if we want to avoid saving
 *           empty free space managers.
 *
 *           Similarly, it is possible that we could allocate space
 *           for a section info block, only to discover that this
 *           allocation has changed the size of the section info --
 *           forcing us to deallocate and start the loop over again.
 *
 *           To avoid this, simply allocate file space for these
 *           FSM(s) directly from the VFD layer if allocation is
 *           indicated.  This avoids the issue by bypassing the FSMs
 *           in this case.
 *
 *           Note that this may increase the size of the file needlessly.
 *           A better solution would be to modify the FSM code to
 *           save empty FSMs to file, and to allow section info blocks
 *           to be oversized.  However, given that the FSM code is
 *           also used by the fractal heaps, and that we are under
 *           severe time pressure at the moment, the above brute
 *           force solution is attractive.
 *
 *      5) Make note of the EOA -- used for sanity checking on
 *         FSM shutdown.
 *
 * Return:    SUCCEED/FAIL

         * most cases.  In cases where the alignment is not 1, for now we
         * have decided to drop the fragment on the floor.
         *
         * Eventually, we should fix this by modifying the on disk representations
         * of free space managers to allow for empty space, so as to bypass the
         * issues created by self-referential free space managers, and make

 * Function:    H5MF_tidy_self_referential_fsm_hack
 *
 * Purpose:     As discussed in the comments of the settle routines above,
 *        the existence of self referential free space managers
 *        as currently implemented creates the possibility of
 *        infinite loops at file close.
 *
 *        As a hack to avoid this, we have added code to settle
 *        self referential free space managers, and then allocate
 *        space for them directly from the file driver.
 *
 *        To avoid dropping ever increasing amounts of file space
 *              on the floor with each subsequent file close/open cycle,
 *              we need to clean this up on file open.  To avoid this,
 *              this function is called on the first file space allocation
 *              or deallocation after file open to float the self referential
 *              free space managers and reduce the EOA to the value it
 *              had before the direct allocation of space for the self
 *              referential free space managers.
 *
 *              The function proceeds as follows:
 *
 *              1) Verify that f->shared->first_alloc_dealloc is TRUE,
 *                 and then set it to FALSE.
 *
 *              2) Get the current EOA.  Verify that it is greater than
 *                 or equal to f->shared->eoa_pre_fsm_fsalloc.  If the
 *                 current eoa is equal to f->shared->eoa_pre_fsm_fsalloc,
 *                 no self referential FSMs were stored, and we are done.
 *
 *                 NOTE:  This will have to be reworked somewhat for
 *                 cache image.
 *
 *              3) Load the self referential FSMs.  In passing verify that
 *                 the lowest address of a FSM header is equal to
 *                 f->shared->eoa_pre_fsm_fsalloc.
 *
 *                 Note that we don't have to use any special I/O for
 *                 this -- we can use the regular I/O methods even if
 *                 paged aggregation and page buffering is enabled.
 *
 *              4) Float the FSMs. Ensure that the file space is NOT
 *                 released.
 *
 *              5) Set EOA equal to f->shared->eoa_pre_fsm_fsalloc,
 *                 and then set f->shared->eoa_pre_fsm_fsalloc to
 *                 HADDR_UNDEF.
 *
 *           If page buffering, verify that the new EOA is
 *                 on a page boundary, and expunge any pages in the
 *                 page buffer after the new EOA.
 *
 *              Note that this function is also called from test code
 *              when it is necessary to startup a self referential
 *              free space manager prior to the first file space
 *              allocation / deallocation.  Failure to do so will
 *              result in assertion failures in this function on
 *              the first file space allocation / deallocation.
 *
 * Return:      SUCCEED/FAIL
