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