#include "xfs.h"
#include "xfs_mru_cache.h"

/*
 * The MRU Cache data structure consists of a data store, an array of lists and
 * a lock to protect its internal state.  At initialisation time, the client
 * supplies an element lifetime in milliseconds and a group count, as well as a
 * function pointer to call when deleting elements.  A data structure for
 * queueing up work in the form of timed callbacks is also included.
 *
 * The group count controls how many lists are created, and thereby how finely
 * the elements are grouped in time.  When reaping occurs, all the elements in
 * all the lists whose time has expired are deleted.
 *
 * To give an example of how this works in practice, consider a client that
 * initialises an MRU Cache with a lifetime of ten seconds and a group count of
 * five.  Five internal lists will be created, each representing a two second
 * period in time.  When the first element is added, time zero for the data
 * structure is initialised to the current time.
 *
 * All the elements added in the first two seconds are appended to the first
 * list.  Elements added in the third second go into the second list, and so on.
 * If an element is accessed at any point, it is removed from its list and
 * inserted at the head of the current most-recently-used list.
 *
 * The reaper function will have nothing to do until at least twelve seconds
 * have elapsed since the first element was added.  The reason for this is that
 * if it were called at t=11s, there could be elements in the first list that
 * have only been inactive for nine seconds, so it still does nothing.  If it is
 * called anywhere between t=12 and t=14 seconds, it will delete all the
 * elements that remain in the first list.  It's therefore possible for elements
 * to remain in the data store even after they've been inactive for up to
 * (t + t/g) seconds, where t is the inactive element lifetime and g is the
 * number of groups.
 *
 * The above example assumes that the reaper function gets called at least once
 * every (t/g) seconds.  If it is called less frequently, unused elements will
 * accumulate in the reap list until the reaper function is eventually called.
 * The current implementation uses work queue callbacks to carefully time the
 * reaper function calls, so this should happen rarely, if at all.
 *
 * From a design perspective, the primary reason for the choice of a list array
 * representing discrete time intervals is that it's only practical to reap
 * expired elements in groups of some appreciable size.  This automatically
 * introduces a granularity to element lifetimes, so there's no point storing an
 * individual timeout with each element that specifies a more precise reap time.
 * The bonus is a saving of sizeof(long) bytes of memory per element stored.
 *
 * The elements could have been stored in just one list, but an array of
 * counters or pointers would need to be maintained to allow them to be divided
 * up into discrete time groups.  More critically, the process of touching or
 * removing an element would involve walking large portions of the entire list,
 * which would have a detrimental effect on performance.  The additional memory
 * requirement for the array of list heads is minimal.
 *
 * When an element is touched or deleted, it needs to be removed from its
 * current list.  Doubly linked lists are used to make the list maintenance
 * portion of these operations O(1).  Since reaper timing can be imprecise,
 * inserts and lookups can occur when there are no free lists available.  When
 * this happens, all the elements on the LRU list need to be migrated to the end
 * of the reap list.  To keep the list maintenance portion of these operations
 * O(1) also, list tails need to be accessible without walking the entire list.
 * This is the reason why doubly linked list heads are used.
 */

/*
 * An MRU Cache is a dynamic data structure that stores its elements in a way
 * that allows efficient lookups, but also groups them into discrete time
 * intervals based on insertion time.  This allows elements to be efficiently
 * and automatically reaped after a fixed period of inactivity.
 *
 * When a client data pointer is stored in the MRU Cache it needs to be added to
 * both the data store and to one of the lists.  It must also be possible to
 * access each of these entries via the other, i.e. to:
 *
 *    a) Walk a list, removing the corresponding data store entry for each item.
 *    b) Look up a data store entry, then access its list entry directly.
 *
 * To achieve both of these goals, each entry must contain both a list entry and
 * a key, in addition to the user's data pointer.  Note that it's not a good
 * idea to have the client embed one of these structures at the top of their own
 * data structure, because inserting the same item more than once would most
 * likely result in a loop in one of the lists.  That's a sure-fire recipe for
 * an infinite loop in the code.
