15 * L2 table cache usage is as follows:
16 *
17 * An open image has one L2 table cache that is used to avoid accessing the
18 * image file for recently referenced L2 tables.
19 *
20 * Cluster offset lookup translates the logical offset within the block device
21 * to a cluster offset within the image file. This is done by indexing into
22 * the L1 and L2 tables which store cluster offsets. It is here where the L2
23 * table cache serves up recently referenced L2 tables.
24 *
25 * If there is a cache miss, that L2 table is read from the image file and
26 * committed to the cache. Subsequent accesses to that L2 table will be served
27 * from the cache until the table is evicted from the cache.
28 *
29 * L2 tables are also committed to the cache when new L2 tables are allocated
30 * in the image file. Since the L2 table cache is write-through, the new L2
31 * table is first written out to the image file and then committed to the
32 * cache.
33 *
34 * Multiple I/O requests may be using an L2 table cache entry at any given
35 * time. That means an entry may be in use across several requests and
36 * reference counting is needed to free the entry at the correct time. In
37 * particular, an entry evicted from the cache will only be freed once all
38 * references are dropped.
39 *
40 * An in-flight I/O request will hold a reference to a L2 table cache entry for
41 * the period during which it needs to access the L2 table. This includes
42 * cluster offset lookup, L2 table allocation, and L2 table update when a new
43 * data cluster has been allocated.
44 *
45 * An interesting case occurs when two requests need to access an L2 table that
46 * is not in the cache. Since the operation to read the table from the image
47 * file takes some time to complete, both requests may see a cache miss and
48 * start reading the L2 table from the image file. The first to finish will
49 * commit its L2 table into the cache. When the second tries to commit its
50 * table will be deleted in favor of the existing cache entry.
