/*
 * This svn_cache__t implementation actually consists of two parts:
 * a shared (per-process) singleton membuffer cache instance and shallow
 * svn_cache__t front-end instances that each use different key spaces.
 * For data management, they all forward to the singleton membuffer cache.
 *
 * A membuffer cache consists of two parts:
 *
 * 1. A linear data buffer containing cached items in a serialized
 *    representation. There may be arbitrary gaps between entries.
 * 2. A directory of cache entries. This is organized similar to CPU
 *    data caches: for every possible key, there is exactly one group
 *    of entries that may contain the header info for an item with
 *    that given key. The result is a GROUP_SIZE-way associative cache.
 *
 * Only the start address of these two data parts are given as a native
 * pointer. All other references are expressed as offsets to these pointers.
 * With that design, it is relatively easy to share the same data structure
 * between different processes and / or to persist them on disk. These
 * out-of-process features have not been implemented, yet.
 *
 * The data buffer usage information is implicitly given by the directory
 * entries. Every USED entry has a reference to the previous and the next
 * used dictionary entry and this double-linked list is ordered by the
 * offsets of their item data within the data buffer. So removing data,
 * for instance, is done simply by unlinking it from the chain, implicitly
 * marking the entry as well as the data buffer section previously
 * associated to it as unused.
 *
 * Insertion can occur at only one, sliding position. It is marked by its
 * offset in the data buffer plus the index of the first used entry at or
 * behind that position. If this gap is too small to accommodate the new
 * item, the insertion window is extended as described below. The new entry
 * will always be inserted at the bottom end of the window and since the
 * next used entry is known, properly sorted insertion is possible.
 *
 * To make the cache perform robustly in a wide range of usage scenarios,
 * a randomized variant of LFU is used (see ensure_data_insertable for
 * details). Every item holds a read hit counter and there is a global read
 * hit counter. The more hits an entry has in relation to the average, the
 * more it is likely to be kept using a rand()-based condition. The test is
 * applied only to the entry following the insertion window. If it doesn't
 * get evicted, it is moved to the begin of that window and the window is
 * moved.
 *
 * Moreover, the entry's hits get halved to make that entry more likely to
 * be removed the next time the sliding insertion / removal window comes by.
 * As a result, frequently used entries are likely not to be dropped until
 * they get not used for a while. Also, even a cache thrashing situation
 * about 50% of the content survives every 50% of the cache being re-written
 * with new entries. For details on the fine-tuning involved, see the
 * comments in ensure_data_insertable().
 *
 * To limit the entry size and management overhead, not the actual item keys
 * but only their MD5 checksums will not be stored. This is reasonably safe
 * to do since users have only limited control over the full keys, even if
 * these contain folder paths. So, it is very hard to deliberately construct
 * colliding keys. Random checksum collisions can be shown to be extremely
 * unlikely.
 *
 * All access to the cached data needs to be serialized. Because we want
 * to scale well despite that bottleneck, we simply segment the cache into
 * a number of independent caches (segments). Items will be multiplexed based
 * on their hash key.
