samba-mirror/source3/ubiqx/ubi_Cache.h
Christopher R. Hertel 1714adc798 Changed the mechanism for including the Samba includes.h in the ubiqx code
to something less hurried, simpler, and (I believe) more acceptable to
all.  The ubi_*.c files all now #include sys_include.h which, for Samba,
contains only comments and the line

#include "../includes.h"

That will make sure that the Samba header is there, allows me to
distribute a different default header with the main ubiqx set, and allows
others to write their own sys_includes.h for their own purposes.

Thanks to Andrew and Jeremy for hammering this out with me.

* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- **
*
* This module uses a splay tree to implement a simple cache. The cache
* module adds a thin layer of functionality to the splay tree. In
* particular:
*
* - The tree (cache) may be limited in size by the number of
* entries permitted or the amount of memory used. When either
* limit is exceeded cache entries are removed until the cache
* conforms.
* - Some statistical information is kept so that an approximate
* "hit ratio" can be calculated.
* - There are several functions available that provide access to
* and management of cache size limits, hit ratio, and tree
* trimming.
*
* The splay tree is used because recently accessed items tend toward the
* top of the tree and less recently accessed items tend toward the bottom.
* This makes it easy to purge less recently used items should the cache
* exceed its limits.
*
* To use this module, you will need to supply a comparison function of
* type ubi_trCompFunc and a node-freeing function of type
* ubi_trKillNodeTrn. See ubi_BinTree.h for more information on
* these. (This is all basic ubiqx tree management stuff.)
*
* Notes:
*
* - Cache performance will start to suffer dramatically if the
* cache becomes large enough to force the OS to start swapping
* memory to disk. This is because the nodes of the underlying tree
* will be scattered across memory in an order that is completely
* unrelated to their traversal order. As more and more of the
* cache is placed into swap space, more and more swaps will be
* required for a simple traversal (...and then there's the splay
* operation).
*
* In one simple test under Linux, the load and dump of a cache of
* 400,000 entries took only 1min, 40sec of real time. The same
* test with 450,000 records took 2 *hours* and eight minutes.
*
* - In an effort to save memory, I considered using an unsigned
* short to save the per-entry entry size. I would have tucked this
* value into some unused space in the tree node structure. On
* 32-bit word aligned systems this would have saved an additional
* four bytes per entry. I may revisit this issue, but for now I've
* decided against it.
*
* Using an unsigned short would limit the size of an entry to 64K
* bytes. That's probably more than enough for most applications.
* The key word in that last sentence, however, is "probably". I
* really dislike imposing such limits on things.
*
* - Each entry keeps track of the amount of memory it used and the
* cache header keeps the total. This information is provided via
* the EntrySize parameter in ubi_cachePut(), so it is up to you to
* make sure that the numbers are accurate. (The numbers don't even
* have to represent bytes used.)
*
* As you consider this, note that the strdup() function--as an
* example--will call malloc(). The latter generally allocates a
* multiple of the system word size, which may be more than the
* number of bytes needed to store the string.

* Initialize a cache header structure.

* CompFunc - A pointer to the function that will be called

* comments, above, for more information.
* FreeFunc - A pointer to a function that will be called
* to free a cache entry. If you allocated
* the cache entry using malloc(), then this
* will likely be free(). If you are allocating
* cache entries from a free list, then this will
* likely be a function that returns memory to the
* free list, etc.
* MaxEntries - The maximum number of entries that will be
* allowed to exist in the cache. If this limit
* is exceeded, then existing entries will be
* removed from the cache. A value of zero
* indicates that there is no limit on the number
* of cache entries. See ubi_cachePut().
* MaxMemory - The maximum amount of memory, in bytes, to be
* allocated to the cache (excluding the cache
* header). If this is exceeded, existing entries
* in the cache will be removed until enough memory
* has been freed to meet the condition. See
* ubi_cachePut().
*
* Output: A pointer to the initialized cache (i.e., the same as CachePtr).
*
* Notes: Both MaxEntries and MaxMemory may be changed after the cache
* has been created. See

* ubi_cacheGetMaxMemory() (the latter two are macros).

* Notes: After adding the new node, the cache is "trimmed". This
* removes extra nodes if the tree has exceeded it's memory or

* be politely removed from the tree and freed.

* like this (where i is the return value of this function):
*
* printf( "Hit rate : %d.%02d%%\n", (i/100), (i%100) );
*
* Notes: I say "slightly-weighted", because the numerator and
* denominator are both accumulated in locations of type
* 'unsigned short'. If the number of cache trys becomes
* large enough, both are divided by two. (See function
* ubi_cacheGet().)
* Dividing both numerator and denominator by two does not
* change the ratio (much...it is an integer divide), but it
* does mean that subsequent increments to either counter will
* have twice as much significance as previous ones.
*
* - The value returned by this function will be in the range
* [0..10000] because ( 0 <= cache_hits <= cache_trys ) will
* always be true.
