5 // The cache is stored on disk as a collection of block-files, plus an index
6 // file plus a collection of external files.
7 //
8 // Any data blob bigger than kMaxBlockSize (disk_cache/addr.h) will be stored in
9 // a separate file named f_xxx where x is a hexadecimal number. Shorter data
10 // will be stored as a series of blocks on a block-file. In any case, CacheAddr
11 // represents the address of the data inside the cache.
12 //
13 // The index file is just a simple hash table that maps a particular entry to
14 // a CacheAddr value. Linking for a given hash bucket is handled internally
15 // by the cache entry.
16 //
17 // The last element of the cache is the block-file. A block file is a file
18 // designed to store blocks of data of a given size. For more details see
19 // disk_cache/disk_format_base.h
20 //
21 // A new cache is initialized with four block files (named data_0 through
22 // data_3), each one dedicated to store blocks of a given size. The number at
23 // the end of the file name is the block file number (in decimal).
24 //
25 // There are two "special" types of blocks: an entry and a rankings node. An
26 // entry keeps track of all the information related to the same cache entry,
27 // such as the key, hash value, data pointers etc. A rankings node keeps track
28 // of the information that is updated frequently for a given entry, such as its
29 // location on the LRU lists, last access time etc.
30 //
31 // The files that store internal information for the cache (blocks and index)
32 // are at least partially memory mapped. They have a location that is signaled
33 // every time the internal structures are modified, so it is possible to detect
34 // (most of the time) when the process dies in the middle of an update.
35 //
36 // In order to prevent dirty data to be used as valid (after a crash), every
37 // cache entry has a dirty identifier. Each running instance of the cache keeps
38 // a separate identifier (maintained on the "this_id" header field) that is used
39 // to mark every entry that is created or modified. When the entry is closed,
40 // and all the data can be trusted, the dirty flag is cleared from the entry.
41 // When the cache encounters an entry whose identifier is different than the one
42 // being currently used, it means that the entry was not properly closed on a
43 // previous run, so it is discarded.
