  10 * The MRU Cache data structure consists of a data store, an array of lists and
  11 * a lock to protect its internal state.  At initialisation time, the client
  12 * supplies an element lifetime in milliseconds and a group count, as well as a
  13 * function pointer to call when deleting elements.  A data structure for
  14 * queueing up work in the form of timed callbacks is also included.
  15 *
  16 * The group count controls how many lists are created, and thereby how finely
  17 * the elements are grouped in time.  When reaping occurs, all the elements in
  18 * all the lists whose time has expired are deleted.
  19 *
  20 * To give an example of how this works in practice, consider a client that
  21 * initialises an MRU Cache with a lifetime of ten seconds and a group count of
  22 * five.  Five internal lists will be created, each representing a two second
  23 * period in time.  When the first element is added, time zero for the data
  24 * structure is initialised to the current time.
  25 *
  26 * All the elements added in the first two seconds are appended to the first
  27 * list.  Elements added in the third second go into the second list, and so on.
  28 * If an element is accessed at any point, it is removed from its list and
  29 * inserted at the head of the current most-recently-used list.
  30 *
  31 * The reaper function will have nothing to do until at least twelve seconds
  32 * have elapsed since the first element was added.  The reason for this is that
  33 * if it were called at t=11s, there could be elements in the first list that
  34 * have only been inactive for nine seconds, so it still does nothing.  If it is
  35 * called anywhere between t=12 and t=14 seconds, it will delete all the
  36 * elements that remain in the first list.  It's therefore possible for elements
  37 * to remain in the data store even after they've been inactive for up to
  38 * (t + t/g) seconds, where t is the inactive element lifetime and g is the
  39 * number of groups.
  40 *
  41 * The above example assumes that the reaper function gets called at least once
  42 * every (t/g) seconds.  If it is called less frequently, unused elements will
  43 * accumulate in the reap list until the reaper function is eventually called.
  44 * The current implementation uses work queue callbacks to carefully time the
  45 * reaper function calls, so this should happen rarely, if at all.
  46 *
  47 * From a design perspective, the primary reason for the choice of a list array
  48 * representing discrete time intervals is that it's only practical to reap
  49 * expired elements in groups of some appreciable size.  This automatically
  50 * introduces a granularity to element lifetimes, so there's no point storing an
  51 * individual timeout with each element that specifies a more precise reap time.
  52 * The bonus is a saving of sizeof(long) bytes of memory per element stored.
  53 *
  54 * The elements could have been stored in just one list, but an array of
  55 * counters or pointers would need to be maintained to allow them to be divided
  56 * up into discrete time groups.  More critically, the process of touching or
  57 * removing an element would involve walking large portions of the entire list,
  58 * which would have a detrimental effect on performance.  The additional memory
  59 * requirement for the array of list heads is minimal.
  60 *
  61 * When an element is touched or deleted, it needs to be removed from its
  62 * current list.  Doubly linked lists are used to make the list maintenance
  63 * portion of these operations O(1).  Since reaper timing can be imprecise,
  64 * inserts and lookups can occur when there are no free lists available.  When
  65 * this happens, all the elements on the LRU list need to be migrated to the end
  66 * of the reap list.  To keep the list maintenance portion of these operations
  67 * O(1) also, list tails need to be accessible without walking the entire list.
  68 * This is the reason why doubly linked list heads are used.
  69 */
  70
  71/*
  72 * An MRU Cache is a dynamic data structure that stores its elements in a way
  73 * that allows efficient lookups, but also groups them into discrete time
  74 * intervals based on insertion time.  This allows elements to be efficiently
  75 * and automatically reaped after a fixed period of inactivity.
  76 *
  77 * When a client data pointer is stored in the MRU Cache it needs to be added to
  78 * both the data store and to one of the lists.  It must also be possible to
  79 * access each of these entries via the other, i.e. to:
  80 *
  81 *    a) Walk a list, removing the corresponding data store entry for each item.
  82 *    b) Look up a data store entry, then access its list entry directly.
  83 *
  84 * To achieve both of these goals, each entry must contain both a list entry and
  85 * a key, in addition to the user's data pointer.  Note that it's not a good
  86 * idea to have the client embed one of these structures at the top of their own
  87 * data structure, because inserting the same item more than once would most
  88 * likely result in a loop in one of the lists.  That's a sure-fire recipe for
  89 * an infinite loop in the code.
