/* dscache.c - Disk store cache for disk store backend.
 *
 * When Redis is configured for using disk as backend instead of memory, the
 * memory is used as a cache, so that recently accessed keys are taken in
 * memory for fast read and write operations.
 *
 * Modified keys are marked to be flushed on disk, and will be flushed
 * as long as the maxium configured flush time elapsed.
 *
 * This file implements the whole caching subsystem and contains further
 * documentation. */

/* TODO:
 *
 * WARNING: most of the following todo items and design issues are no
 * longer relevant with the new design. Here as a checklist to see if
 * some old ideas still apply.
 *
 * - What happens when an object is destroyed?
 *
 *   If the object is destroyed since semantically it was deleted or
 *   replaced with something new, we don't care if there was a SAVE
 *   job pending for it. Anyway when the IO JOb will be created we'll get
 *   the pointer of the current value.
 *
 *   If the object is already a REDIS_IO_SAVEINPROG object, then it is
 *   impossible that we get a decrRefCount() that will reach refcount of zero
 *   since the object is both in the dataset and in the io job entry.
 *
 * - What happens with MULTI/EXEC?
 *
 *   Good question. Without some kind of versioning with a global counter
 *   it is not possible to have trasactions on disk, but they are still
 *   useful since from the point of view of memory and client bugs it is
 *   a protection anyway. Also it's useful for WATCH.
 *
 *   Btw there is to check what happens when WATCH gets combined to keys
 *   that gets removed from the object cache. Should be save but better
 *   to check.
 *
 * - Check if/why INCR will not update the LRU info for the object.
 *
 * - Fix/Check the following race condition: a key gets a DEL so there is
 *   a write operation scheduled against this key. Later the same key will
 *   be the argument of a GET, but the write operation was still not
 *   completed (to delete the file). If the GET will be for some reason
 *   a blocking loading (via lookup) we can load the old value on memory.
 *
 *   This problems can be fixed with negative caching. We can use it
 *   to optimize the system, but also when a key is deleted we mark
 *   it as non existing on disk as well (in a way that this cache
 *   entry can't be evicted, setting time to 0), then we avoid looking at
 *   the disk at all if the key can't be there. When an IO Job complete
 *   a deletion, we set the time of the negative caching to a non zero
 *   value so it will be evicted later.
 *
 *   Are there other patterns like this where we load stale data?
 *
 *   Also, make sure that key preloading is ONLY done for keys that are
 *   not marked as cacheKeyDoesNotExist(), otherwise, again, we can load
 *   data from disk that should instead be deleted.
 *
 * - dsSet() should use rename(2) in order to avoid corruptions.
 *
 * - Don't add a LOAD if there is already a LOADINPROGRESS, or is this
 *   impossible since anyway the io_keys stuff will work as lock?
 *
 * - Serialize special encoded things in a raw form.

/* Virtual Memory is composed mainly of two subsystems:
 * - Blocking Virutal Memory
 * - Threaded Virtual Memory I/O
 * The two parts are not fully decoupled, but functions are split among two
 * different sections of the source code (delimited by comments) in order to
 * make more clear what functionality is about the blocking VM and what about
 * the threaded (not blocking) VM.
 *
 * Redis VM design:
 *
 * Redis VM is a blocking VM (one that blocks reading swapped values from
 * disk into memory when a value swapped out is needed in memory) that is made
 * unblocking by trying to examine the command argument vector in order to
 * load in background values that will likely be needed in order to exec
 * the command. The command is executed only once all the relevant keys
 * are loaded into memory.
 *
 * This basically is almost as simple of a blocking VM, but almost as parallel
 * as a fully non-blocking VM.

/* ============= Disk store cache - Scheduling of IO operations ============= 
 *
 * We use a queue and an hash table to hold the state of IO operations
 * so that's fast to lookup if there is already an IO operation in queue
 * for a given key.
 *
 * There are two types of IO operations for a given key:
 * REDIS_IO_LOAD and REDIS_IO_SAVE.
 *
 * The function cacheScheduleIO() function pushes the specified IO operation
 * in the queue, but avoid adding the same key for the same operation
 * multiple times, thanks to the associated hash table.
 *
 * We take a set of flags per every key, so when the scheduled IO operation
 * gets moved from the scheduled queue to the actual IO Jobs queue that
 * is processed by the IO thread, we flag it as IO_LOADINPROG or
 * IO_SAVEINPROG.
 *
 * So for every given key we always know if there is some IO operation
 * scheduled, or in progress, for this key.
 *
 * NOTE: all this is very important in order to guarantee correctness of
 * the Disk Store Cache. Jobs are always queued here. Load jobs are
 * queued at the head for faster execution only in the case there is not
 * already a write operation of some kind for this job.
 *
 * So we have ordering, but can do exceptions when there are no already
 * operations for a given key. Also when we need to block load a given
 * key, for an immediate lookup operation, we can check if the key can
 * be accessed synchronously without race conditions (no IN PROGRESS
 * operations for this key), otherwise we blocking wait for completion. */
