  Simple Key Cache Module

  The module contains implementations of all key cache interface functions
  employed by partitioned key caches. 
     
******************************************************************************/

/*
  These functions handle keyblock cacheing for ISAM and MyISAM tables.

  One cache can handle many files.
  It must contain buffers of the same blocksize.

  init_key_cache() should be used to init cache handler.

  The free list (free_block_list) is a stack like structure.
  When a block is freed by free_block(), it is pushed onto the stack.
  When a new block is required it is first tried to pop one from the stack.
  If the stack is empty, it is tried to get a never-used block from the pool.
  If this is empty too, then a block is taken from the LRU ring, flushing it
  to disk, if necessary. This is handled in find_key_block().
  With the new free list, the blocks can have three temperatures:
  hot, warm and cold (which is free). This is remembered in the block header
  by the enum BLOCK_TEMPERATURE temperature variable. Remembering the
  temperature is necessary to correctly count the number of warm blocks,
  which is required to decide when blocks are allowed to become hot. Whenever
  a block is inserted to another (sub-)chain, we take the old and new
  temperature into account to decide if we got one more or less warm block.
  blocks_unused is the sum of never used blocks in the pool and of currently
  free blocks. blocks_used is the number of blocks fetched from the pool and
  as such gives the maximum number of in-use blocks at any time.

  Key Cache Locking
  =================

  All key cache locking is done with a single mutex per key cache:
  keycache->cache_lock. This mutex is locked almost all the time
  when executing code in this file (mf_keycache.c).
  However it is released for I/O and some copy operations.

  The cache_lock is also released when waiting for some event. Waiting
  and signalling is done via condition variables. In most cases the
  thread waits on its thread->suspend condition variable. Every thread
  has a my_thread_var structure, which contains this variable and a
  '*next' and '**prev' pointer. These pointers are used to insert the
  thread into a wait queue.

  A thread can wait for one block and thus be in one wait queue at a
  time only.

  Before starting to wait on its condition variable with
  mysql_cond_wait(), the thread enters itself to a specific wait queue
  with link_into_queue() (double linked with '*next' + '**prev') or
  wait_on_queue() (single linked with '*next').

  Another thread, when releasing a resource, looks up the waiting thread
  in the related wait queue. It sends a signal with
  mysql_cond_signal() to the waiting thread.

  NOTE: Depending on the particular wait situation, either the sending
  thread removes the waiting thread from the wait queue with
  unlink_from_queue() or release_whole_queue() respectively, or the waiting
  thread removes itself.

  There is one exception from this locking scheme when one thread wants
  to reuse a block for some other address. This works by first marking
  the block reserved (status= BLOCK_IN_SWITCH) and then waiting for all
  threads that are reading the block to finish. Each block has a
  reference to a condition variable (condvar). It holds a reference to
  the thread->suspend condition variable for the waiting thread (if such
  a thread exists). When that thread is signaled, the reference is
  cleared. The number of readers of a block is registered in
  block->hash_link->requests. See wait_for_readers() / remove_reader()
  for details. This is similar to the above, but it clearly means that
  only one thread can wait for a particular block. There is no queue in
  this case. Strangely enough block->convar is used for waiting for the
  assigned hash_link only. More precisely it is used to wait for all
  requests to be unregistered from the assigned hash_link.

  The resize_queue serves two purposes:
  1. Threads that want to do a resize wait there if in_resize is set.
     This is not used in the server. The server refuses a second resize
     request if one is already active. keycache->in_init is used for the
     synchronization. See set_var.cc.
  2. Threads that want to access blocks during resize wait here during
     the re-initialization phase.
  When the resize is done, all threads on the queue are signalled.
  Hypothetical resizers can compete for resizing, and read/write
  requests will restart to request blocks from the freshly resized
  cache. If the cache has been resized too small, it is disabled and
  'can_be_used' is false. In this case read/write requests bypass the
  cache. Since they increment and decrement 'cnt_for_resize_op', the
  next resizer can wait on the queue 'waiting_for_resize_cnt' until all
  I/O finished.

/*
  Some compilation flags have been added specifically for this module
  to control the following:
  - not to let a thread to yield the control when reading directly
    from key cache, which might improve performance in many cases;
    to enable this add:
    #define SERIALIZED_READ_FROM_CACHE
  - to set an upper bound for number of threads simultaneously
    using the key cache; this setting helps to determine an optimal
    size for hash table and improve performance when the number of
    blocks in the key cache much less than the number of threads
    accessing it;
    to set this number equal to <N> add
      #define MAX_THREADS <N>
  - to substitute calls of mysql_cond_wait for calls of
    mysql_cond_timedwait (wait with timeout set up);
    this setting should be used only when you want to trap a deadlock
    situation, which theoretically should not happen;
    to set timeout equal to <T> seconds add
      #define KEYCACHE_TIMEOUT <T>
  - to enable the module traps and to send debug information from
    key cache module to a special debug log add:
      #define KEYCACHE_DEBUG
    the name of this debug log file <LOG NAME> can be set through:
      #define KEYCACHE_DEBUG_LOG  <LOG NAME>
    if the name is not defined, it's set by default;
    if the KEYCACHE_DEBUG flag is not set up and we are in a debug
    mode, i.e. when ! defined(DBUG_OFF), the debug information from the
    module is sent to the regular debug log.

  Example of the settings:
    #define SERIALIZED_READ_FROM_CACHE
    #define MAX_THREADS   100
    #define KEYCACHE_TIMEOUT  1
    #define KEYCACHE_DEBUG
    #define KEYCACHE_DEBUG_LOG  "my_key_cache_debug.log"

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the init_key_cache interface
    function that is employed by simple (non-partitioned) key caches.
    The function builds a simple key cache and initializes the control block
    structure of the type SIMPLE_KEY_CACHE_CB that is used for this key cache. 
    The parameter keycache is supposed to point to this structure. 
    The parameter key_cache_block_size specifies the size of the blocks in
    the key cache to be built. The parameters division_limit and age_threshold
    determine the initial values of those characteristics of the key cache
    that are used for midpoint insertion strategy. The parameter use_mem
    specifies the total amount of memory to be allocated for key cache blocks
    and auxiliary structures.       

  RETURN VALUE
    number of blocks in the key cache, if successful,
    <= 0 - otherwise.

  NOTES.
    if keycache->key_cache_inited != 0 we assume that the key cache
    is already initialized.  This is for now used by myisamchk, but shouldn't
    be something that a program should rely on!

    It's assumed that no two threads call this function simultaneously
    referring to the same key cache handle.

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the resize_key_cache interface
    function that is employed by simple (non-partitioned) key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type SIMPLE_KEY_CACHE_CB for the simple key
    cache to be resized. 
    The parameter key_cache_block_size specifies the new size of the blocks in
    the key cache. The parameters division_limit and age_threshold
    determine the new initial values of those characteristics of the key cache
    that are used for midpoint insertion strategy. The parameter use_mem

  RETURN VALUE

  NOTES.
    The function first calls the function prepare_resize_simple_key_cache
    to flush all dirty blocks from key cache, to free memory used
    for key cache blocks and auxiliary structures. After this the
    function builds a new key cache with new parameters.

    This implementation doesn't block the calls and executions of other
    functions from the key cache interface. However it assumes that the
    calls of resize_simple_key_cache itself are serialized.

    The function starts the operation only when all other threads
    performing operations with the key cache let her to proceed
    (when cnt_for_resize=0).

      We cannot set BLOCK_IN_SWITCH here because only one of the

      for it to complete. If we set the flag here, the threads would not
      know who is in charge of the eviction. Without the flag, the first
      thread takes the stick and sets the flag.

      But we need to note in the block that is has been selected for
      eviction. It must not be freed. The evicting thread will not
      expect the block in the free list. Before freeing we could also
      check if block->requests > 1. But I think including another flag

  NOTES.
    Every linking to the LRU ring decrements by one a special block
    counter (if it's positive). If the at_end parameter is TRUE the block is
    added either at the end of warm sub-chain or at the end of hot sub-chain.
    It is added to the hot subchain if its counter is zero and number of
    blocks in warm sub-chain is not less than some low limit (determined by
    the division_limit parameter). Otherwise the block is added to the warm
    sub-chain. If the at_end parameter is FALSE the block is always added
    at beginning of the warm sub-chain.
    Thus a warm block can be promoted to the hot sub-chain when its counter
    becomes zero for the first time.
    At the same time  the block at the very beginning of the hot subchain
    might be moved to the beginning of the warm subchain if it stays untouched
    for a too long time (this time is determined by parameter age_threshold).

    It is also possible that the block is selected for eviction and thus

  Get a block for the file page requested by a keycache read/write operation;
  If the page is not in the cache return a free block, if there is none
  return the lru block after saving its buffer if the page is dirty.

  SYNOPSIS

    find_key_block()
      keycache            pointer to a key cache data structure
      file                handler for the file to read page from
      filepos             position of the page in the file
      init_hits_left      how initialize the block counter for the page
      wrmode              <-> get for writing
      page_st        out  {PAGE_READ,PAGE_TO_BE_READ,PAGE_WAIT_TO_BE_READ}

  RETURN VALUE
    Pointer to the found block if successful, 0 - otherwise

  NOTES.
    For the page from file positioned at filepos the function checks whether
    the page is in the key cache specified by the first parameter.
    If this is the case it immediately returns the block.
    If not, the function first chooses  a block for this page. If there is
    no not used blocks in the key cache yet, the function takes the block
    at the very beginning of the warm sub-chain. It saves the page in that
    block if it's dirty before returning the pointer to it.
    The function returns in the page_st parameter the following values:
      PAGE_READ         - if page already in the block,
      PAGE_TO_BE_READ   - if it is to be read yet by the current thread
      WAIT_TO_BE_READ   - if it is to be read by another thread
    If an error occurs THE BLOCK_ERROR bit is set in the block status.
    It might happen that there are no blocks in LRU chain (in warm part) -
    all blocks  are unlinked for some read/write operations. Then the function
    waits until first of this operations links any block back.

    by a block parameter - reference to a hash link for this page.
    If an error occurs THE BLOCK_ERROR bit is set in the block status.

  Read a block of data from a simple key cache into a buffer

  SYNOPSIS

    block_length        length of the read data from a key cache block 
    return_buffer       return pointer to the key cache buffer with the data

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the key_cache_read interface
    function that is employed by simple (non-partitioned) key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type SIMPLE_KEY_CACHE_CB for a simple key
    cache.
    In a general case the function reads a block of data from the key cache
    into the buffer buff of the size specified by the parameter length. The
    beginning of the  block of data to be read is specified by the parameters
    file and filepos. The length of the read data is the same as the length
    of the buffer. The data is read into the buffer in key_cache_block_size
    increments. If the next portion of the data is not found in any key cache
    block, first it is read from file into the key cache.
    If the parameter return_buffer is not ignored and its value is TRUE, and 
    the data to be read of the specified size block_length can be read from one
    key cache buffer, then the function returns a pointer to the data in the
    key cache buffer.
    The function takse into account parameters block_length and return buffer
    only in a single-threaded environment.
    The parameter 'level' is used only by the midpoint insertion strategy 
    when the data or its portion cannot be found in the key cache. 
   
  RETURN VALUE
    Returns address from where the data is placed if successful, 0 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    Filepos must be a multiple of 'block_length', but it doesn't
    have to be a multiple of key_cache_block_size;

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the key_cache_insert interface
    function that is employed by simple (non-partitioned) key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type SIMPLE_KEY_CACHE_CB for a simple key
    cache.
    The function writes a block of file data from a buffer into the key cache.
    The buffer is specified with the parameters buff and length - the pointer
    to the beginning of the buffer and its size respectively. It's assumed
    the buffer contains the data from 'file' allocated from the position
    filepos. The data is copied from the buffer in key_cache_block_size
    increments.
    The parameter level is used to set one characteristic for the key buffers
    loaded with the data from buff. The characteristic is used only by the
    midpoint insertion strategy.  
   
  RETURN VALUE
    0 if a success, 1 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    The function is used by MyISAM to move all blocks from a index file to 
    the key cache. It can be performed in parallel with reading the file data
    from the key buffers by other threads.

  Write a buffer into a simple key cache

  SYNOPSIS

    simple_key_cache_write()

    file                handler for the file to write data to
    file_extra          maps of key cache partitions containing 
                        dirty pages from file 
    filepos             position in the file to write data to
    level               determines the weight of the data
    buff                buffer with the data
    length              length of the buffer
    dont_write          if is 0 then all dirty pages involved in writing
                        should have been flushed from key cache

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the key_cache_write interface
    function that is employed by simple (non-partitioned) key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type SIMPLE_KEY_CACHE_CB for a simple key
    cache.
    In a general case the function copies data from a buffer into the key
    cache. The buffer is specified with the parameters buff and length -
    the pointer to the beginning of the buffer and its size respectively.
    It's assumed the buffer contains the data to be written into 'file'
    starting from the position filepos. The data is copied from the buffer
    in key_cache_block_size increments.
    If the value of the parameter dont_write is FALSE then the function
    also writes the data into file.
    The parameter level is used to set one characteristic for the key buffers
    filled with the data from buff. The characteristic is employed only by
    the midpoint insertion strategy.
    The parameter file_extra currently makes sense only for simple key caches
    that are elements of a partitioned key cache. It provides a pointer to the
    shared bitmap of the partitions that may contains dirty pages for the file.
    This bitmap is used to optimize the function 
    flush_partitioned_key_cache_blocks. 
      
  RETURN VALUE
    0 if a success, 1 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    This implementation exploits the fact that the function is called only
    when a thread has got an exclusive lock for the key file.

    flush_key_blocks_int()

  NOTES
    This function doesn't do any mutex locks because it needs to be called both
    from flush_key_blocks and flush_all_key_blocks (the later one does the
    mutex lock in the resize_key_cache() function).

    We do only care about changed blocks that exist when the function is
    entered. We do not guarantee that all changed blocks of the file are
    flushed if more blocks change while this function is running.

  Flush all blocks for a file from key buffers of a simple key cache 

  SYNOPSIS

    flush_simple_key_blocks()
    keycache            pointer to the control block of a simple key cache
    file                handler for the file to flush to
    file_extra          maps of key cache partitions containing 
                        dirty pages from file (not used)         
    flush_type          type of the flush operation

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the flush_key_blocks interface
    function that is employed by simple (non-partitioned) key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type S_KEY_CACHE_CB for a simple key
    cache.
    In a general case the function flushes the data from all dirty key
    buffers related to the file 'file' into this file. The function does
    exactly this if the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_KEEP. If the
    value of this parameter is FLUSH_RELEASE, the function additionally 
    releases the key buffers containing data from 'file' for new usage.
    If the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_IGNORE_CHANGED the function
    just releases the key buffers containing data from 'file'.  
    The parameter file_extra currently is not used by this function.
      
  RETURN
    0   ok
    1  error

  NOTES
    This implementation exploits the fact that the function is called only
    when a thread has got an exclusive lock for the key file.

  Flush all blocks in the key cache to disk.

  SYNOPSIS
    flush_all_key_blocks()
      keycache                  pointer to key cache root structure

  DESCRIPTION

    Flushing of the whole key cache is done in two phases.

    1. Flush all changed blocks, waiting for them if necessary. Loop
    until there is no changed block left in the cache.

    2. Free all clean blocks. Normally this means free all blocks. The
    changed blocks were flushed in phase 1 and became clean. However we
    may need to wait for blocks that are read by other threads. While we
    wait, a clean block could become changed if that operation started
    before the resize operation started. To be safe we must restart at
    phase 1.

    When we can run through the changed_blocks and file_blocks hashes
    without finding a block any more, then we are done.

    Note that we hold keycache->cache_lock all the time unless we need
    to wait for something.

/****************************************************************************** 
  Partitioned Key Cache Module

  The module contains implementations of all key cache interface functions
  employed by partitioned key caches. 

  A partitioned key cache is a collection of structures for simple key caches
  called key cache partitions. Any page from a file can be placed into a buffer
  of only one partition. The number of the partition is calculated from
  the file number and the position of the page in the file, and it's always the
  same for the page. The function that maps pages into partitions takes care
  of even distribution of pages among partitions.

  Partition key cache mitigate one of the major problem of simple key cache:
  thread contention for key cache lock (mutex). Every call of a key cache 
  interface function must acquire this lock. So threads compete for this lock
  even in the case when they have acquired shared locks for the file and
  pages they want read from are in the key cache buffers.
  When working with a partitioned key cache any key cache interface function
  that needs only one page has to acquire the key cache lock only for the
  partition the page is ascribed to. This makes the chances for threads not
  compete for the same key cache lock better. Unfortunately if we use a
  partitioned key cache with N partitions for B-tree indexes we can't say
  that the chances becomes N times less. The fact is that any index lookup
  operation requires reading from the root page that, for any index, is always
  ascribed to the same partition. To resolve this problem we should have
  employed more sophisticated mechanisms of working with root pages.

  Currently the number of partitions in a partitioned key cache is limited 
  by 64. We could increase this limit. Simultaneously we would have to increase
  accordingly the size of the bitmap dirty_part_map from the MYISAM_SHARE
  structure.

  Initialize a partitioned key cache

  SYNOPSIS

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the init_key_cache
    interface function that is employed by partitioned key caches.

    The function builds and initializes an array of simple key caches,
    and then initializes the control block structure of the type
    PARTITIONED_KEY_CACHE_CB that is used for a partitioned key
    cache. The parameter keycache is supposed to point to this
    structure. The number of partitions in the partitioned key cache
    to be built must be passed through the field 'partitions' of this
    structure.
    The parameter key_cache_block_size specifies the size of the
    blocks in the the simple key caches to be built.
    The parameters division_limit and  age_threshold determine the initial
    values of those characteristics of the simple key caches that are used for
    midpoint insertion strategy. The parameter use_mem specifies the total
    amount of memory to be allocated for the key cache blocks in all simple key
    caches and for all auxiliary structures.       

  RETURN VALUE
    total number of blocks in key cache partitions, if successful,
    <= 0 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    If keycache->key_cache_inited != 0 then we assume that the memory for
    the array of partitions has been already allocated.

    It's assumed that no two threads call this function simultaneously
    referring to the same key cache handle.

/*
  Resize a partitioned key cache

  SYNOPSIS
    resize_partitioned_key_cache()
    keycache            pointer to the control block of a partitioned key cache
    key_cache_block_size    size of blocks to keep cached data
    use_mem             total memory to use for the new key cache
    division_limit      new division limit (if not zero)
    age_threshold       new age threshold (if not zero)

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the resize_key_cache interface
    function that is employed by partitioned key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type PARTITIONED_KEY_CACHE_CB for the
    partitioned key cache to be resized. 
    The parameter key_cache_block_size specifies the new size of the blocks in
    the simple key caches that comprise the partitioned key cache.
    The parameters division_limit and age_threshold determine the new initial
    values of those characteristics of the simple key cache that are used for
    midpoint insertion strategy. The parameter use-mem specifies the total
    amount of  memory to be allocated for the key cache blocks in all new
    simple key caches and for all auxiliary structures.

  RETURN VALUE
    number of blocks in the key cache, if successful,
    0 - otherwise.

  NOTES.
    The function first calls prepare_resize_simple_key_cache for each simple
    key cache effectively flushing all dirty pages from it and destroying
    the key cache. Then init_partitioned_key_cache is called. This call builds
    a new array of simple key caches containing the same number of elements
    as the old one. After this the function calls the function
    finish_resize_simple_key_cache for each simple key cache from this array. 

    This implementation doesn't block the calls and executions of other
    functions from the key cache interface. However it assumes that the
    calls of resize_partitioned_key_cache itself are serialized.

    return_buffer       return pointer to the key cache buffer with the data

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the key_cache_read interface
    function that is employed by partitioned key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type PARTITIONED_KEY_CACHE_CB for a
    partitioned key cache.
    In a general case the function reads a block of data from the key cache
    into the buffer buff of the size specified by the parameter length. The
    beginning of the  block of data to be read is  specified by the parameters
    file and filepos. The length of the read data is the same as the length
    of the buffer. The data is read into the buffer in key_cache_block_size
    increments. To read each portion the function first finds out in what
    partition of the key cache this portion(page) is to be saved, and calls
    simple_key_cache_read with the pointer to the corresponding simple key as
    its first parameter. 
    If the parameter return_buffer is not ignored and its value is TRUE, and 
    the data to be read of the specified size block_length can be read from one
    key cache buffer, then the function returns a pointer to the data in the
    key cache buffer.
    The function takes into account parameters block_length and return buffer
    only in a single-threaded environment.
    The parameter 'level' is used only by the midpoint insertion strategy 
    when the data or its portion cannot be found in the key cache. 
   
  RETURN VALUE
    Returns address from where the data is placed if successful, 0 - otherwise.

    This function is the implementation of the key_cache_write interface
    function that is employed by partitioned key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type PARTITIONED_KEY_CACHE_CB for a

    In a general case the function copies data from a buffer into the key

    It's assumed the buffer contains the data to be written into 'file'
    starting from the position filepos. The data is copied from the buffer
    in key_cache_block_size increments. For every portion of data the
    function finds out in what simple key cache from the array of partitions
    the data must be stored, and after this calls simple_key_cache_write to
    copy the data into a key buffer of this simple key cache.
    If the value of the parameter dont_write is FALSE then the function
    also writes the data into file.
    The parameter level is used to set one characteristic for the key buffers
    filled with the data from buff. The characteristic is employed only by
    the midpoint insertion strategy.
    The parameter file_expra provides a pointer to the shared bitmap of

    is used to optimize the function flush_partitioned_key_cache_blocks.

    flush_type          type of the flush operation

  DESCRIPTION
    This function is the implementation of the flush_key_blocks interface
    function that is employed by partitioned key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type PARTITIONED_KEY_CACHE_CB for a
    partitioned key cache.
    In a general case the function flushes the data from all dirty key
    buffers related to the file 'file' into this file. The function does
    exactly this if the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_KEEP. If the
    value of this parameter is FLUSH_RELEASE, the function additionally 
    releases the key buffers containing data from 'file' for new usage.
    If the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_IGNORE_CHANGED the function
    just releases the key buffers containing data from 'file'.
    The function performs the operation by calling the function 
    flush_simple_key_cache_blocks for the elements of the array of the
    simple key caches that comprise the partitioned key_cache. If the value
    of the parameter type is FLUSH_KEEP s_flush_key_blocks is called only
    for the partitions with possibly dirty pages marked in the bitmap
    pointed to by the parameter file_extra.

    This implementation exploits the fact that the function is called only

    This function is the implementation of the reset_key_cache_counters
    interface function that is employed by partitioned key caches.
    The function takes the parameter keycache as a pointer to the
    control block structure of the type PARTITIONED_KEY_CACHE_CB for a partitioned
    key cache.
    This function resets the values of the statistical counters of the simple
    key caches comprising partitioned key cache to 0. It does it by calling 
    reset_simple_key_cache_counters for each key  cache partition. 
    The parameter name is currently not used.

  RETURN
    0 on success (always because it can't fail)

/****************************************************************************** 
  Key Cache Interface Module

  The module contains wrappers for all key cache interface functions. 
  
  Currently there are key caches of two types: simple key caches and
  partitioned key caches. Each type (class) has its own implementation of the
  basic key cache operations used the MyISAM storage engine. The pointers
  to the implementation functions are stored in two static structures of the
  type KEY_CACHE_FUNC: simple_key_cache_funcs - for simple key caches, and
  partitioned_key_cache_funcs - for partitioned key caches. When a key cache
  object is created the constructor procedure init_key_cache places a pointer
  to the corresponding table into one of its fields. The procedure also
  initializes a control block for the key cache oject and saves the pointer
  to this block in another field of the key cache object.
  When a key cache wrapper function is invoked for a key cache object to
  perform a basic key cache operation it looks into the interface table
  associated with the key cache oject and calls the corresponding
  implementation of the operation. It passes the saved key cache control
  block to this implementation. If, for some reasons, the control block
  has not been fully initialized yet, the wrapper function either does not
  do anything or, in the case when it perform a read/write operation, the
  function do it directly through the system i/o functions.

  As we can see the model with which the key cache interface is supported
  as quite conventional for interfaces in general.

  DESCRIPTION
    The function creates a control block structure for a key cache and

    If the value of the parameter 'partitions' is 0 then a simple key cache
    is created. Otherwise a partitioned key cache with the specified number
    of partitions is created.  
    The parameter key_cache_block_size specifies the size of the blocks in
    the key cache to be created. The parameters division_limit and
    age_threshold determine the initial values of those characteristics of
    the key cache that are used for midpoint insertion strategy. The parameter
    use_mem  specifies the total amount of memory to be allocated for the
    key cache buffers and for all auxiliary structures.  
    The function calls init_key_cache_internal() to perform all these actions
    with the last parameter set to TRUE.

  DESCRIPTION
    The function operates over buffers of the key cache keycache.
    In a general case the function reads a block of data from the key cache
    into the buffer buff of the size specified by the parameter length. The
    beginning of the block of data to be read is specified by the parameters
    file and filepos. The length of the read data is the same as the length
    of the buffer.
    If the parameter return_buffer is not ignored and its value is TRUE, and 
    the data to be read of the specified size block_length can be read from one
    key cache buffer, then the function returns a pointer to the data in the
    key cache buffer.
    The parameter 'level' is used only by the midpoint insertion strategy 
    when the data or its portion cannot be found in the key cache.
    The function reads data into the buffer directly from file if the control
    block of the key cache has not been initialized yet. 
   
  RETURN VALUE
    Returns address from where the data is placed if successful, 0 - otherwise.

  Insert a block of file data from a buffer into a key cache

  SYNOPSIS
    key_cache_insert()
    keycache            pointer to the key cache to insert data into 
    file                handler for the file to insert data from
    filepos             position of the block of data in the file to insert

    buff                buffer to read data from
    length              length of the data in the buffer

  DESCRIPTION
    The function operates over buffers of the key cache keycache.
    The function writes a block of file data from a buffer into the key cache.
    The buffer is specified with the parameters buff and length - the pointer
    to the beginning of the buffer and its size respectively. It's assumed
    that the buffer contains the data from 'file' allocated from the position
    filepos.
    The parameter level is used to set one characteristic for the key buffers
    loaded with the data from buff. The characteristic is used only by the
    midpoint insertion strategy. 
   
  RETURN VALUE
    0 if a success, 1 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    The function is used by MyISAM to move all blocks from a index file to 
    the key cache. 
    It is assumed that it may be performed in parallel with reading the file
    data from the key buffers by other threads.

    file_extra          pointer to optional file attributes

  DESCRIPTION
    The function operates over buffers of the key cache keycache.
    In a general case the function writes data from a buffer into the key
    cache. The buffer is specified with the parameters buff and length -
    the pointer to the beginning of the buffer and its size respectively.
    It's assumed the buffer contains the data to be written into 'file'
    starting from the position filepos. 
    If the value of the parameter dont_write is FALSE then the function
    also writes the data into file.
    The parameter level is used to set one characteristic for the key buffers
    filled with the data from buff. The characteristic is employed only by
    the midpoint insertion strategy.
    The parameter file_expra may point to additional file attributes used
    for optimization or other purposes.
    The function writes data from the buffer directly into file if the control
    block of the key cache has not been initialized yet.      

  RETURN VALUE
    0 if a success, 1 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    This implementation may exploit the fact that the function is called only
    when a thread has got an exclusive lock for the key file.

  Flush all blocks for a file from key buffers of a key cache

    keycache            pointer to the key cache whose blocks are to be flushed

    file_extra          maps of key cache (used for partitioned key caches)
    flush_type          type of the flush operation

  DESCRIPTION
    The function operates over buffers of the key cache keycache.
    In a general case the function flushes the data from all dirty key
    buffers related to the file 'file' into this file. The function does
    exactly this if the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_KEEP. If the
    value of this parameter is FLUSH_RELEASE, the function additionally 
    releases the key buffers containing data from 'file' for new usage.
    If the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_IGNORE_CHANGED the function
    just releases the key buffers containing data from 'file'.
    If the value of the parameter type is FLUSH_KEEP the function may use
    the value of the parameter file_extra pointing to possibly dirty
    partitions to optimize the operation for partitioned key caches.
      
  RETURN

  Repartition a key cache

  SYNOPSIS

    age_threshold       new age threshold (if not zero)
    partitions          new number of partitions in the key cache 

  DESCRIPTION
    The function operates over the key cache keycache.
    The parameter partitions specifies the number of partitions in the key
    cache after repartitioning. If the value of this parameter is 0 then
    a simple key cache must be created instead of the old one. 
    The parameter key_cache_block_size specifies the new size of the block
    buffers in the key cache. The parameters division_limit and age_threshold
    determine the new initial values of those characteristics of the key cache
    that are used for midpoint insertion strategy. The parameter use_mem
    specifies the total amount of  memory to be allocated for the new key
    cache buffers and for all auxiliary structures.
    The function calls repartition_key_cache_internal() to perform all these
    actions with the last parameter set to TRUE.     

  RETURN VALUE
    number of blocks in the key cache, if successful,
    0 - otherwise.

  NOTES
    Currently the function is called when the value of the variable
    key_cache_partitions is being reset for the key cache keycache.
