Shorter data will // be stored as a series of blocks on a block-file. In any case, CacheAddr // represents the address of the data inside the cache. // // The index file is just a simple hash table that maps a particular entry to // a CacheAddr value. Linking for a given hash bucket is handled internally // by the cache entry. // // The last element of the cache is the block-file. A block file is a file // designed to store blocks of data of a given size. It is able to store data // that spans from one to four consecutive "blocks", and it grows as needed to // store up to approximately 65000 blocks. It has a fixed size header used for // book keeping such as tracking free of blocks on the file. For example, a // block-file for 1KB blocks will grow from 8KB when totally empty to about 64MB // when completely full. At that point, data blocks of 1KB will be stored on a // second block file that will store the next set of 65000 blocks. The first // file contains the number of the second file, and the second file contains the // number of a third file, created when the second file reaches its limit. It is // important to remember that no matter how long the chain of files is, any // given block can be located directly by its address, which contains the file // number and starting block inside the file. // // A new cache is initialized with four block files (named data_0 through // data_3), each one dedicated to store blocks of a given size. The number at // the end of the file name is the block file number (in decimal). // // There are two "special" types of blocks: an entry and a rankings node. An // entry keeps track of all the information related to the same cache entry, // such as the key, hash value, data pointers etc. A rankings node keeps track // of the information that is updated frequently for a given entry, such as its // location on the LRU list, last access time etc. // // The files that store internal information for the cache (blocks and index) // are at least partially memory mapped. They have a location that is signaled // every time the internal structures are modified, so it is possible to detect // (most of the time) when the process dies in the middle of an update. // // In order to prevent dirty data to be used as valid (after a crash), every // cache entry has a dirty identifier. Each running instance of the cache keeps // a separate identifier (maintained on the "this_id" header field) that is used // to mark every entry that is created or modified. When the entry is closed, // and all the data can be trusted, the dirty flag is cleared from the entry. // When the cache encounters an entry whose identifier is different than the one // being currently used, it means that the entry was not properly closed on a // previous run, so it is discarded. #ifndef NET_DISK_CACHE_DISK_FORMAT_H__ #define NET_DISK_CACHE_DISK_FORMAT_H__ #include "base/basictypes.h" namespace disk_cache { typedef uint32 CacheAddr; const int kIndexTablesize = 0x10000; const uint32 kIndexMagic = 0xC103CAC3; const uint32 kCurrentVersion = 0x10003; // Version 1.3. // Header for the master index file. struct IndexHeader { uint32 magic; uint32 version; int32 num_entries; // Number of entries currently stored. int32 num_bytes; // Total size of the stored data. int32 last_file; // Last external file created. int32 this_id; // Id for all entries being changed (dirty flag).
