/* 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:
 *
 * - The WATCH helper will be used to signal the cache system
 *   we need to flush a given key/dbid into disk, adding this key/dbid
 *   pair into a server.ds_cache_dirty linked list AND hash table (so that we
 *   don't add the same thing multiple times).
 *
 * - cron() checks if there are elements on this list. When there are things
 *   to flush, we create an IO Job for the I/O thread.
 *   NOTE: We disalbe object sharing when server.ds_enabled == 1 so objects
 *   that are referenced an IO job for flushing on disk are marked as
 *   o->storage == REDIS_DS_SAVING.
 *
 * - This is what we do on key lookup:
 *   1) The key already exists in memory. object->storage == REDIS_DS_MEMORY
 *      or it is object->storage == REDIS_DS_DIRTY:
 *      We don't do nothing special, lookup, return value object pointer.
 *   2) The key is in memory but object->storage == REDIS_DS_SAVING.
 *      When this happens we block waiting for the I/O thread to process
 *      this object. Then continue.
 *   3) The key is not in memory. We block to load the key from disk.
 *      Of course the key may not be present at all on the disk store as well,
 *      in such case we just detect this condition and continue, returning
 *      NULL from lookup.
 *
 * - Preloading of needed keys:
 *   1) As it was done with VM, also with this new system we try preloading
 *      keys a client is going to use. We block the client, load keys
 *      using the I/O thread, unblock the client. Same code as VM more or less.
 *
 * - Reclaiming memory.
 *   In cron() we detect our memory limit was reached. What we
 *   do is deleting keys that are REDIS_DS_MEMORY, using LRU.
 *
 *   If this is not enough to return again under the memory limits we also
 *   start to flush keys that need to be synched on disk synchronously,
 *   removing it from the memory. We do this blocking as memory limit is a
 *   much "harder" barrirer in the new design.
 *
 * - IO thread operations are no longer stopped for sync loading/saving of
 *   things. When a key is found to be in the process of being saved
 *   we simply wait for the IO thread to end its work.
 *
 *   Otherwise if there is to load a key without any IO thread operation
 *   just started it is blocking-loaded in the lookup function.
 *
 * - What happens when an object is destroyed?
 *
 *   If o->storage == REDIS_DS_MEMORY then we simply destory the object.
 *   If o->storage == REDIS_DS_DIRTY we can still remove the object. It had
 *                    changes not flushed on disk, but is being removed so
 *                    who cares.
 *   if o->storage == REDIS_DS_SAVING then the object is being saved so
 *                    it is impossible that its refcount == 1, must be at
 *                    least two. When the object is saved the storage will
 *                    be set back to DS_MEMORY.
 *
 * - What happens when keys are deleted?
 *
 *   We simply schedule a key flush operation as usually, but when the
 *   IO thread will be created the object pointer will be set to NULL
 *   so the IO thread will know that the work to do is to delete the key
 *   from the disk store.
 *
 * - What happens with MULTI/EXEC?
 *
 *   Good question.
 *
 * - If dsSet() fails on the write thread log the error and reschedule the
 *   key for flush.

/* 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.
