/*
  Cashing of files with only does (sequential) read or writes of fixed-
  length records. A read isn't allowed to go over file-length. A read is ok
  if it ends at file-length and next read can try to read after file-length
  (and get a EOF-error).
  Possibly use of asyncronic io.
  macros for read and writes for faster io.
  Used instead of FILE when reading or writing whole files.
  This code makes mf_rec_cache obsolete (currently only used by ISAM)
  One can change info->pos_in_file to a higher value to skip bytes in file if
  also info->read_pos is set to info->read_end.
  If called through open_cached_file(), then the temporary file will
  only be created if a write exeeds the file buffer or if one calls
  my_b_flush_io_cache().

  If one uses SEQ_READ_APPEND, then two buffers are allocated, one for
  reading and another for writing.  Reads are first done from disk and
  then done from the write buffer.  This is an efficient way to read
  from a log file when one is writing to it at the same time.
  For this to work, the file has to be opened in append mode!
  Note that when one uses SEQ_READ_APPEND, one MUST write using
  my_b_append !  This is needed because we need to lock the mutex
  every time we access the write buffer.

TODO:
  When one SEQ_READ_APPEND and we are reading and writing at the same time,
  each time the write buffer gets full and it's written to disk, we will
  always do a disk read to read a part of the buffer from disk to the
  read buffer.
  This should be fixed so that when we do a my_b_flush_io_cache() and
  we have been reading the write buffer, we should transfer the rest of the
  write buffer to the read buffer before we start to reuse it.

  NOTE
    This function is only called from the my_b_read() macro when there

  WARNING

    When changing this function, be careful with handling file offsets
    (end-of_file, pos_in_file). Do not cast them to possibly smaller
    types than my_off_t unless you can be sure that their value fits.
    Same applies to differences of file offsets.

    When changing this function, check _my_b_read_r(). It might need the
    same change.

  RETURN

             If info->error == -1, we got a read error.

  Prepare IO_CACHE for shared use.

  SYNOPSIS
    init_io_cache_share()
      read_cache                A read cache. This will be copied for
                                every thread after setup.
      cshare                    The share.
      write_cache               If non-NULL a write cache that is to be
                                synchronized with the read caches.
      num_threads               Number of threads sharing the cache
                                including the write thread if any.

  DESCRIPTION

    The shared cache is used so: One IO_CACHE is initialized with
    init_io_cache(). This includes the allocation of a buffer. Then a
    share is allocated and init_io_cache_share() is called with the io
    cache and the share. Then the io cache is copied for each thread. So
    every thread has its own copy of IO_CACHE. But the allocated buffer
    is shared because cache->buffer is the same for all caches.

    One thread reads data from the file into the buffer. All threads
    read from the buffer, but every thread maintains its own set of
    pointers into the buffer. When all threads have used up the buffer
    contents, one of the threads reads the next block of data into the
    buffer. To accomplish this, each thread enters the cache lock before
    accessing the buffer. They wait in lock_io_cache() until all threads
    joined the lock. The last thread entering the lock is in charge of
    reading from file to buffer. It wakes all threads when done.

    Synchronizing a write cache to the read caches works so: Whenever
    the write buffer needs a flush, the write thread enters the lock and
    waits for all other threads to enter the lock too. They do this when
    they have used up the read buffer. When all threads are in the lock,
    the write thread copies the write buffer to the read buffer and
    wakes all threads.

    share->running_threads is the number of threads not being in the
    cache lock. When entering lock_io_cache() the number is decreased.
    When the thread that fills the buffer enters unlock_io_cache() the
    number is reset to the number of threads. The condition
    running_threads == 0 means that all threads are in the lock. Bumping
    up the number to the full count is non-intuitive. But increasing the
    number by one for each thread that leaves the lock could lead to a
    solo run of one thread. The last thread to join a lock reads from
    file to buffer, wakes the other threads, processes the data in the
    cache and enters the lock again. If no other thread left the lock
    meanwhile, it would think it's the last one again and read the next
    block...

    The share has copies of 'error', 'buffer', 'read_end', and
    'pos_in_file' from the thread that filled the buffer. We may not be
    able to access this information directly from its cache because the
    thread may be removed from the share before the variables could be
    copied by all other threads. Or, if a write buffer is synchronized,
    it would change its 'pos_in_file' after waking the other threads,
    possibly before they could copy its value.

    However, the 'buffer' variable in the share is for a synchronized
    write cache. It needs to know where to put the data. Otherwise it
    would need access to the read cache of one of the threads that is
    not yet removed from the share.

/*
  Lock IO cache and wait for all other threads to join.

  SYNOPSIS
    lock_io_cache()
      cache                     The cache of the thread entering the lock.
      pos                       File position of the block to read.
                                Unused for the write thread.

  DESCRIPTION

    Wait for all threads to finish with the current buffer. We want
    all threads to proceed in concert. The last thread to join
    lock_io_cache() will read the block from file and all threads start
    to use it. Then they will join again for reading the next block.

    The waiting threads detect a fresh buffer by comparing
    cshare->pos_in_file with the position they want to process next.
    Since the first block may start at position 0, we take
    cshare->read_end as an additional condition. This variable is
    initialized to NULL and will be set after a block of data is written
    to the buffer.

  RETURN
    1           OK, lock in place, go ahead and read.
    0           OK, unlocked, another thread did the read.

  Unlock IO cache.

  SYNOPSIS
    unlock_io_cache()
      cache                     The cache of the thread leaving the lock.

  NOTE
    This is called by the thread that filled the buffer. It marks all
    threads as running and awakes them. This must not be done by any
    other thread.

    Do not signal cond_writer. Either there is no writer or the writer
    is the only one who can call this function.

    The reason for resetting running_threads to total_threads before
    waking all other threads is that it could be possible that this
    thread is so fast with processing the buffer that it enters the lock
    before even one other thread has left it. If every awoken thread
    would increase running_threads by one, this thread could think that
    he is again the last to join and would not wait for the other
    threads to process the data.

/*
  Read from IO_CACHE when it is shared between several threads.

  SYNOPSIS
    _my_b_read_r()
      cache                     IO_CACHE pointer
      Buffer                    Buffer to retrieve count bytes from file
      Count                     Number of bytes to read into Buffer

  NOTE
    This function is only called from the my_b_read() macro when there
    isn't enough characters in the buffer to satisfy the request.

  IMPLEMENTATION

    It works as follows: when a thread tries to read from a file (that
    is, after using all the data from the (shared) buffer), it just
    hangs on lock_io_cache(), waiting for other threads. When the very
    last thread attempts a read, lock_io_cache() returns 1, the thread
    does actual IO and unlock_io_cache(), which signals all the waiting
    threads that data is in the buffer.

  WARNING

    When changing this function, be careful with handling file offsets
    (end-of_file, pos_in_file). Do not cast them to possibly smaller
    types than my_off_t unless you can be sure that their value fits.
    Same applies to differences of file offsets. (Bug #11527)

    When changing this function, check _my_b_read(). It might need the
    same change.

  RETURN
    0      we succeeded in reading all data
    1      Error: can't read requested characters
