Add library private routines to allow metadata cache entries to be set as
flush dependency children on extensible array entries. This will allow chunk
proxies to be set as child flush dependencies for the extensible array, adding
another necessary layer to the flush dependency chain for SWMR access.

Bug Fix
Description:
Removing some unnecessary system headers from test/cache.c which snuck
their way into one of my previous check-ins ... thanks to Allen for
catching this while testing on Windows.
Tested:
Windows, Linux
Adding code to maintain a min_clean_fraction in the cache in serial mode.
Description:
The metadata cache now has the ability to maintain a min_clean_fraction
when in serial mode. The default initial cache size has been changed
from 1MB to 2MB, and the default min_clean_fraction has been set at 30%.
This check-in includes modifications to H5C.c to support maintaining a
min_clean_size, including the addition of clean_index_size and
dirty_index_size trackers, modifications to the H5C_make_space_in_cache
algorithm, as well as associated test code and additional statistics
tracking variables.
Maintaining the min_clean_fraction addresses the possibility of
experiencing a "metadata blizzard" when the cache gets completely
full with dirty entries. Upon having to make space, the cache would
previously need to flush every single entry in the cache before coming
across a clean entry which could be evicted. This resulted in unnecessary
flushing of oftentimes hot entries in the cache. Maintaining the
min_clean_fraction ensures that, when space is needed, clean entries
are more readily available to evict.

large entry, or to a large increases in the size of an existing entry.
This required some additions to the cache configuration structure, and
thus will require changes in the metadata cache documentation.
The basic idea is to monitor the size of entries as they are loaded,
inserted, or increased in size. If the size of the entry (or increase)
exceeds some user selected fraction of the size of the cache, increase
the size of the cache.
Note that this fix was designed quickly -- while it deals with the
use case that exposed the problem, we may have to revisit the issue
later.

1) Added trace file support to the metadata cache. This allows capture
of all metadata cache calls in trace files for purposes of optimization
and debuging.
2) Added an expunge entry function. This allows an entry to be deleteded
from the cache without writing it to disk even if it is dirty.
3) Added a function call to resize pinned entries.
4) Added code to deal with entries that are dirty on load. This is
needed in support of a bug fix which can alter object headers on
load to repair files.
5) Added progress reporting code to the "MDC API smoke check" test in
cache_api.c. To enable the progress reporting, set report_progress
to TRUE in mdc_api_call_smoke_check().

1) Check in potential fix to unreproduceable bug in t_cache observed on
Cobalt
2) Check in code supporting added pinned entry features in the metadata
cache.
Description:
1) Elena encountered a bug in t_cache when running on Cobalt. On
investigation I found a potential race condition in t_cache that
could explain her observation.
2) Quincey requested additions to the metadata cache allowing renaming
of pinned entryies, and marking of pinned or protected entries as
dirty.
Solution:
1) Modified t_cache.c to prevent the potential race condition. Elena
was unable to reproduce the bug on Cobalt, so we don't know if my
fix actually addressed the problem.
2) Added code supporting the requested functions. The changes were
relatively trivial, but required substantial new test code.

Repair synchronization bug in the metadata cache in PHDF5
Also repair numerous other bugs that surfaced in testing the
bug fix.
Description:
While operations modifying metadata must be collective, we allow
independant reads. This allows metadata caches on different processes
to adjust to different sizes, and to place the entries on their dirty
lists in different orders. Since only process 0 actually writes
metadata to disk (all other processes thought they did, but the writes
were discarded on the theory that they had to be collective), this made
it possible for another process to modify metadata, flush it, and then
read it back in in its original form (pre-modification) form. The
possibilities for file corruption should be obvious.
Solution:
Make the policy that only process 0 can write to file explicit, and
visible to the metadata caches. Thus only process 0 may flush dirty
entries -- all other caches must retain dirty entries until they are
informed by process 0 that the entries are clean.
Synchronization is handled by counting the bytes of dirty cache entries
created, and then synching up between the caches whenever the sum
exceeds an (eventually user specified) limit. Dirty metadata creation
is consistent across all processes because all operations modifying
metadata must be collective.
This change uncovered may bugs which are repaired in this checkin.
It also required modification of H5HL and H5O to allocate file space
on insertion rather than on flush from cache.

Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag

Description:
Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled

as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache
coherency bug in PHDF5.
Solution:
Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper.
Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call.

between internal and external representations.
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Add API calls allowing user control of the metadata cache.
Description:
Prior to this update, the metadata cache was not configurable

Solution:
Add API calls allowing the user to configure the metadata cache
either at file open time, or for any open file. Also added calls
permitting the user to monitor cache size and hit rate. These
latter facilities are needed for "manual" cache size control
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Misc. update:
Reduce the run time of the cache tests.
Description:
Some of the cache tests run for quite a while, which has been
causing problems with our daily build and test. In my last
modification to cache.c, I added code to skip these stress
tests unless we were building in production mode. Since
things go faster in production mode, the extra tests are not
a major problem here.
However, this means that the stress tests are only run once
or twice a week.
Solution:
To try to deal with this, I modified the four longest tests
to throttle depending on whether NDEBUG is defined. When
NDEBUG is not defined, runtime for the cache tests should
be about 1/5th its regular run time. We will see if this
is enough of a reduction to avoid problems.
There is some doubt in my mind as to just how much good the
throttled tests do, but they should be better than nothing.
As mentioned before, the correct solution is to build some
proper, random test code.
Platforms tested:

production and debug builds on heping.
Misc. update:
1) Provide facilities in cache to allow us to avoid a potential cache
consistency bug in the parallel case.
2) Clean up a off by one sanity checking bug.
3) Turn off execution of long running tests in debug mode.
Description:
1) In the parallel case, all writes to metadata must be collective,
but reads may not be. In pricipal, this allows us to different
contents in different caches. This isn't a problem as long as the
correct data is always on disk, but unless we can force certain
writes immediately, that need not be the case.
2) & 3) should need no further explanation.
Solution:
1) Add code allowing us to mark cache entries, and then force
these entries to be flushed at a later time.
Note that to actually avoid the bug, we will have to modify
existing code to use these new features.
2) & 3) should need no further explanation.

Description:
cache, the test program for the metadata cache has been taking a while

Misc. update:
Modify the cache code (H5C) to support automatic cache resizing to
adapt to the work load at run time.
Description:
Different applications require different sized caches to maintain
an acceptable hit rate. This set of changes attempts to provide the
ability to adjust to circumstances automatically.
Solution:
Added highly configurable code to allow the user to either set a
fixed cache size, or allow the cache to grow and shrink according to
conditions.
If enabled, cache size increases are triggered when the hit rate
drops below a user specified threshold in a user specified interval.
Cache size reductions (if enabled) are triggered when either the
hit rate exceeds some user specified threshold over a user specified
interval, when the cache contains "enough" entries that haven't been
accessed for a user specified interval, or some mix of the above.
See the header comments on the H5C_auto_size_ctl_t structure in
H5Cprivate.h for further details.
At present, the cache resize configuration options are not
accessible via the user API. Must add this.
