+ * qht.c - QEMU Hash Table, designed to scale for read-mostly workloads.
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2016, Emilio G. Cota <cota@braap.org>
+ *
+ * License: GNU GPL, version 2 or later.
+ *   See the COPYING file in the top-level directory.
+ *
+ * Assumptions:
+ * - NULL cannot be inserted/removed as a pointer value.
+ * - Trying to insert an already-existing hash-pointer pair is OK. However,
+ *   it is not OK to insert into the same hash table different hash-pointer
+ *   pairs that have the same pointer value, but not the hashes.
+ * - Lookups are performed under an RCU read-critical section; removals
+ *   must wait for a grace period to elapse before freeing removed objects.
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - Reads (i.e. lookups and iterators) can be concurrent with other reads.
+ *   Lookups that are concurrent with writes to the same bucket will retry
+ *   via a seqlock; iterators acquire all bucket locks and therefore can be
+ *   concurrent with lookups and are serialized wrt writers.
+ * - Writes (i.e. insertions/removals) can be concurrent with writes to
+ *   different buckets; writes to the same bucket are serialized through a lock.
+ * - Optional auto-resizing: the hash table resizes up if the load surpasses
+ *   a certain threshold. Resizing is done concurrently with readers; writes
+ *   are serialized with the resize operation.
+ *
+ * The key structure is the bucket, which is cacheline-sized. Buckets
+ * contain a few hash values and pointers; the u32 hash values are stored in
+ * full so that resizing is fast. Having this structure instead of directly
+ * chaining items has two advantages:
+ * - Failed lookups fail fast, and touch a minimum number of cache lines.
+ * - Resizing the hash table with concurrent lookups is easy.
+ *
+ * There are two types of buckets:
+ * 1. "head" buckets are the ones allocated in the array of buckets in qht_map.
+ * 2. all "non-head" buckets (i.e. all others) are members of a chain that
+ *    starts from a head bucket.
+ * Note that the seqlock and spinlock of a head bucket applies to all buckets
+ * chained to it; these two fields are unused in non-head buckets.
+ *
+ * On removals, we move the last valid item in the chain to the position of the
+ * just-removed entry. This makes lookups slightly faster, since the moment an
+ * invalid entry is found, the (failed) lookup is over.
+ *
+ * Resizing is done by taking all bucket spinlocks (so that no other writers can
+ * race with us) and then copying all entries into a new hash map. Then, the
+ * ht->map pointer is set, and the old map is freed once no RCU readers can see
+ * it anymore.
+ *
+ * Writers check for concurrent resizes by comparing ht->map before and after
+ * acquiring their bucket lock. If they don't match, a resize has occured
+ * while the bucket spinlock was being acquired.
+ *
+ * Related Work:
+ * - Idea of cacheline-sized buckets with full hashes taken from:
+ *   David, Guerraoui & Trigonakis, "Asynchronized Concurrency:
+ *   The Secret to Scaling Concurrent Search Data Structures", ASPLOS'15.
+ * - Why not RCU-based hash tables? They would allow us to get rid of the
+ *   seqlock, but resizing would take forever since RCU read critical
+ *   sections in QEMU take quite a long time.
+ *   More info on relativistic hash tables:
+ *   + Triplett, McKenney & Walpole, "Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash
+ *     Tables via Relativistic Programming", USENIX ATC'11.
