* When disk store is enabled, we need negative caching, that is, to remember
* keys that are for sure *not* on the disk key-value store.
*
- * This is useful for two reasons:
- *
- * 1) Without negative caching cache misses will cost us a disk lookup, even
- * if the same non existing key is accessed again and again. We negative
- * caching we remember that the key is not on disk, so if it's not in memory
- * and we have a negative cache entry, we don't try a disk access at all.
- *
- * 2) Negative caching is the way to fix a specific race condition. For instance
- * think at the following sequence of commands:
- *
- * SET foo bar
- * DEL foo
- * GET foo
- *
- * After the SET, we'll mark the value as dirty, so it will be flushed
- * on disk at some time. Later the key is deleted, so will be removed
- * from memory. Another job will be created to remove the key from the disk
- * store, but the removal is not synchronous, so may happen later in time.
- *
- * Finally we have a GET foo operation. This operation may result in
- * reading back a value from disk that is not updated data, as the deletion
- * operaiton against the disk KV store was still not completed, so we
- * read old data.
- *
- * Remembering that the given key is deleted is important. We can discard this
- * information once the key was really removed from the disk.
- *
- * So actually there are two kind of negative caching entries: entries that
- * can be evicted when we need to reclaim memory, and entries that will
- * not be evicted, for all the time we need this information to be available.
+ * This is usefuls because without negative caching cache misses will cost us
+ * a disk lookup, even if the same non existing key is accessed again and again.
*
- * The API allows to create both kind of negative caching. */
+ * With negative caching we remember that the key is not on disk, so if it's
+ * not in memory and we have a negative cache entry, we don't try a disk
+ * access at all.

+ *
+ * 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. */
