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