/**
  @file
  These functions handle keyblock cacheing for ISAM and MyISAM tables.

  One cache can handle many files.
  It must contain buffers of the same blocksize.
  init_key_cache() should be used to init cache handler.

  The free list (free_block_list) is a stack like structure.
  When a block is freed by free_block(), it is pushed onto the stack.
  When a new block is required it is first tried to pop one from the stack.
  If the stack is empty, it is tried to get a never-used block from the pool.
  If this is empty too, then a block is taken from the LRU ring, flushing it
  to disk, if neccessary. This is handled in find_key_block().
  With the new free list, the blocks can have three temperatures:
  hot, warm and cold (which is free). This is remembered in the block header
  by the enum BLOCK_TEMPERATURE temperature variable. Remembering the
  temperature is neccessary to correctly count the number of warm blocks,
  which is required to decide when blocks are allowed to become hot. Whenever
  a block is inserted to another (sub-)chain, we take the old and new
  temperature into account to decide if we got one more or less warm block.
  blocks_unused is the sum of never used blocks in the pool and of currently
  free blocks. blocks_used is the number of blocks fetched from the pool and
  as such gives the maximum number of in-use blocks at any time.

/*
  Key Cache Locking
  =================

  All key cache locking is done with a single mutex per key cache:
  keycache->cache_lock. This mutex is locked almost all the time
  when executing code in this file (mf_keycache.c).
  However it is released for I/O and some copy operations.

  The cache_lock is also released when waiting for some event. Waiting
  and signalling is done via condition variables. In most cases the
  thread waits on its thread->suspend condition variable. Every thread
  has a my_thread_var structure, which contains this variable and a
  '*next' and '**prev' pointer. These pointers are used to insert the
  thread into a wait queue.

  A thread can wait for one block and thus be in one wait queue at a
  time only.

  Before starting to wait on its condition variable with
  mysql_cond_wait(), the thread enters itself to a specific wait queue
  with link_into_queue() (double linked with '*next' + '**prev') or
  wait_on_queue() (single linked with '*next').

  Another thread, when releasing a resource, looks up the waiting thread
  in the related wait queue. It sends a signal with
  mysql_cond_signal() to the waiting thread.

  NOTE: Depending on the particular wait situation, either the sending
  thread removes the waiting thread from the wait queue with
  unlink_from_queue() or release_whole_queue() respectively, or the waiting
  thread removes itself.

  There is one exception from this locking scheme when one thread wants
  to reuse a block for some other address. This works by first marking
  the block reserved (status= BLOCK_IN_SWITCH) and then waiting for all
  threads that are reading the block to finish. Each block has a
  reference to a condition variable (condvar). It holds a reference to
  the thread->suspend condition variable for the waiting thread (if such
  a thread exists). When that thread is signaled, the reference is
  cleared. The number of readers of a block is registered in
  block->hash_link->requests. See wait_for_readers() / remove_reader()
  for details. This is similar to the above, but it clearly means that
  only one thread can wait for a particular block. There is no queue in
  this case. Strangely enough block->convar is used for waiting for the
  assigned hash_link only. More precisely it is used to wait for all
  requests to be unregistered from the assigned hash_link.

  The resize_queue serves two purposes:
  1. Threads that want to do a resize wait there if in_resize is set.
     This is not used in the server. The server refuses a second resize
     request if one is already active. keycache->in_init is used for the
     synchronization. See set_var.cc.
  2. Threads that want to access blocks during resize wait here during
     the re-initialization phase.
  When the resize is done, all threads on the queue are signalled.
  Hypothetical resizers can compete for resizing, and read/write
  requests will restart to request blocks from the freshly resized
  cache. If the cache has been resized too small, it is disabled and
  'can_be_used' is false. In this case read/write requests bypass the
  cache. Since they increment and decrement 'cnt_for_resize_op', the
  next resizer can wait on the queue 'waiting_for_resize_cnt' until all
  I/O finished.

  RETURN VALUE

  NOTES.
    Every linking to the LRU ring decrements by one a special block
    counter (if it's positive). If the at_end parameter is TRUE the block is
    added either at the end of warm sub-chain or at the end of hot sub-chain.
    It is added to the hot subchain if its counter is zero and number of
    blocks in warm sub-chain is not less than some low limit (determined by
    the division_limit parameter). Otherwise the block is added to the warm
    sub-chain. If the at_end parameter is FALSE the block is always added
    at beginning of the warm sub-chain.
    Thus a warm block can be promoted to the hot sub-chain when its counter
    becomes zero for the first time.
    At the same time  the block at the very beginning of the hot subchain
    might be moved to the beginning of the warm subchain if it stays untouched
    for a too long time (this time is determined by parameter age_threshold).

    It is also possible that the block is selected for eviction and thus

  Get a block for the file page requested by a keycache read/write operation;

  SYNOPSIS

    find_key_block()
      keycache            pointer to a key cache data structure
      thread              pointer to thread specific variables
      file                handler for the file to read page from
      filepos             position of the page in the file
      init_hits_left      how initialize the block counter for the page
      wrmode              <-> get for writing
      page_st        out  {PAGE_READ,PAGE_TO_BE_READ,PAGE_WAIT_TO_BE_READ}

  RETURN VALUE
    Pointer to the found block if successful, 0 - otherwise

  NOTES.
    For the page from file positioned at filepos the function checks whether
    the page is in the key cache specified by the first parameter.
    If this is the case it immediately returns the block.
    If not, the function first chooses  a block for this page. If there is
    no not used blocks in the key cache yet, the function takes the block
    at the very beginning of the warm sub-chain. It saves the page in that
    block if it's dirty before returning the pointer to it.
    The function returns in the page_st parameter the following values:
      PAGE_READ         - if page already in the block,
      PAGE_TO_BE_READ   - if it is to be read yet by the current thread
      WAIT_TO_BE_READ   - if it is to be read by another thread
    If an error occurs THE BLOCK_ERROR bit is set in the block status.
    It might happen that there are no blocks in LRU chain (in warm part) -
    all blocks  are unlinked for some read/write operations. Then the function
    waits until first of this operations links any block back.

/*
  Read into a key cache block buffer from disk.

  SYNOPSIS

    read_block()
      keycache            pointer to a key cache data structure
      thread_var          pointer to thread specific variables
      block               block to which buffer the data is to be read
      read_length         size of data to be read
      min_length          at least so much data must be read
      primary             <-> the current thread will read the data

  RETURN VALUE
    None

  NOTES.
    The function either reads a page data from file to the block buffer,
    or waits until another thread reads it. What page to read is determined
    by a block parameter - reference to a hash link for this page.
    If an error occurs THE BLOCK_ERROR bit is set in the block status.
    We do not report error when the size of successfully read
    portion is less than read_length, but not less than min_length.

  Read a block of data from a cached file into a buffer;

  SYNOPSIS

    key_cache_read()
      keycache            pointer to a key cache data structure
      thread_var          pointer to thread specific variables
      file                handler for the file for the block of data to be read
      filepos             position of the block of data in the file
      level               determines the weight of the data
      buff                buffer to where the data must be placed
      length              length of the buffer
      block_length        length of the block in the key cache buffer
      return_buffer       return pointer to the key cache buffer with the data

  RETURN VALUE
    Returns address from where the data is placed if sucessful, 0 - otherwise.

  NOTES.
    The function ensures that a block of data of size length from file
    positioned at filepos is in the buffers for some key cache blocks.
    Then the function either copies the data into the buffer buff, or,
    if return_buffer is TRUE, it just returns the pointer to the key cache
    buffer with the data.
    Filepos must be a multiple of 'block_length', but it doesn't
    have to be a multiple of key_cache_block_size;

/*
  Write a buffer into a cached file.

  SYNOPSIS

    key_cache_write()
      keycache            pointer to a key cache data structure
      thread_var          pointer to thread specific variables
      file                handler for the file to write data to
      filepos             position in the file to write data to
      level               determines the weight of the data
      buff                buffer with the data
      length              length of the buffer
      dont_write          if is 0 then all dirty pages involved in writing
                          should have been flushed from key cache

  RETURN VALUE
    0 if a success, 1 - otherwise.

  NOTES.
    The function copies the data of size length from buff into buffers
    for key cache blocks that are  assigned to contain the portion of
    the file starting with position filepos.
    It ensures that this data is flushed to the file if dont_write is FALSE.
    Filepos must be a multiple of 'block_length', but it doesn't
    have to be a multiple of key_cache_block_size;

    dont_write is always TRUE in the server (info->lock_type is never F_UNLCK).

/*
  Flush all key blocks for a file to disk, but don't do any mutex locks.

  SYNOPSIS
    flush_key_blocks_int()
      keycache            pointer to a key cache data structure
      thread_var          pointer to thread specific variables
      file                handler for the file to flush to
      flush_type          type of the flush

  NOTES
    This function doesn't do any mutex locks because it needs to be called both
    from flush_key_blocks and flush_all_key_blocks (the later one does the
    mutex lock in the resize_key_cache() function).

    We do only care about changed blocks that exist when the function is
    entered. We do not guarantee that all changed blocks of the file are
    flushed if more blocks change while this function is running.

  RETURN
    0   ok
    1  error

/*
  Flush all blocks in the key cache to disk.

  SYNOPSIS
    flush_all_key_blocks()
      keycache                  pointer to key cache root structure
      thread_var                pointer to thread specific variables

  DESCRIPTION

    Flushing of the whole key cache is done in two phases.

    1. Flush all changed blocks, waiting for them if necessary. Loop
    until there is no changed block left in the cache.

    2. Free all clean blocks. Normally this means free all blocks. The
    changed blocks were flushed in phase 1 and became clean. However we
    may need to wait for blocks that are read by other threads. While we
    wait, a clean block could become changed if that operation started
    before the resize operation started. To be safe we must restart at
    phase 1.

    When we can run through the changed_blocks and file_blocks hashes
    without finding a block any more, then we are done.

    Note that we hold keycache->cache_lock all the time unless we need
    to wait for something.
