/*
 * Primary bucket allocation code
 *
 * Copyright 2012 Google, Inc.
 *
 * Allocation in bcache is done in terms of buckets:
 *
 * Each bucket has associated an 8 bit gen; this gen corresponds to the gen in
 * btree pointers - they must match for the pointer to be considered valid.
 *
 * Thus (assuming a bucket has no dirty data or metadata in it) we can reuse a
 * bucket simply by incrementing its gen.
 *
 * The gens (along with the priorities; it's really the gens are important but
 * the code is named as if it's the priorities) are written in an arbitrary list
 * of buckets on disk, with a pointer to them in the journal header.
 *
 * When we invalidate a bucket, we have to write its new gen to disk and wait
 * for that write to complete before we use it - otherwise after a crash we
 * could have pointers that appeared to be good but pointed to data that had
 * been overwritten.
 *
 * Since the gens and priorities are all stored contiguously on disk, we can
 * batch this up: We fill up the free_inc list with freshly invalidated buckets,
 * call prio_write(), and when prio_write() finishes we pull buckets off the
 * free_inc list and optionally discard them.
 *
 * free_inc isn't the only freelist - if it was, we'd often to sleep while
 * priorities and gens were being written before we could allocate. c->free is a
 * smaller freelist, and buckets on that list are always ready to be used.
 *
 * If we've got discards enabled, that happens when a bucket moves from the
 * free_inc list to the free list.
 *
 * There is another freelist, because sometimes we have buckets that we know
 * have nothing pointing into them - these we can reuse without waiting for
 * priorities to be rewritten. These come from freed btree nodes and buckets
 * that garbage collection discovered no longer had valid keys pointing into
 * them (because they were overwritten). That's the unused list - buckets on the
 * unused list move to the free list, optionally being discarded in the process.
 *
 * It's also important to ensure that gens don't wrap around - with respect to
 * either the oldest gen in the btree or the gen on disk. This is quite
 * difficult to do in practice, but we explicitly guard against it anyways - if
 * a bucket is in danger of wrapping around we simply skip invalidating it that
 * time around, and we garbage collect or rewrite the priorities sooner than we
 * would have otherwise.
 *
 * bch_bucket_alloc() allocates a single bucket from a specific cache.
 *
 * bch_bucket_alloc_set() allocates one or more buckets from different caches
 * out of a cache set.
 *
 * free_some_buckets() drives all the processes described above. It's called
 * from bch_bucket_alloc() and a few other places that need to make sure free
 * buckets are ready.
 *
 * invalidate_buckets_(lru|fifo)() find buckets that are available to be
 * invalidated, and then invalidate them and stick them on the free_inc list -
 * in either lru or fifo order.

 *
 * The ideas is if you've got multiple tasks pulling data into the cache at the
 * same time, you'll get better cache utilization if you try to segregate their
 * data and preserve locality.
 *
 * For example, say you've starting Firefox at the same time you're copying a
 * bunch of files. Firefox will likely end up being fairly hot and stay in the
 * cache awhile, but the data you copied might not be; if you wrote all that
 * data to the same buckets it'd get invalidated at the same time.
 *
 * Both of those tasks will be doing fairly random IO so we can't rely on
 * detecting sequential IO to segregate their data, but going off of the task
 * should be a sane heuristic.
