/**
* Media applications want fast, "on demand" random access to media data,
* for pausing, seeking, etc. But we are primarily interested
* in transporting media data using HTTP over the Internet, which has
* high latency to open a connection, requires a new connection for every
* seek, may not even support seeking on some connections (especially
* live streams), and uses a push model --- data comes from the server
* and you don't have much control over the rate. Also, transferring data
* over the Internet can be slow and/or unpredictable, so we want to read
* ahead to buffer and cache as much data as possible.
*
* The job of the media cache is to resolve this impedance mismatch.
* The media cache reads data from Necko channels into file-backed storage,
* and offers a random-access file-like API to the stream data
* (MediaCacheStream). Along the way it solves several problems:
* -- The cache intelligently reads ahead to prefetch data that may be
* needed in the future
* -- The size of the cache is bounded so that we don't fill up
* storage with read-ahead data
* -- Cache replacement is managed globally so that the most valuable
* data (across all streams) is retained
* -- The cache can suspend Necko channels temporarily when their data is
* not wanted (yet)
* -- The cache translates file-like seek requests to HTTP seeks,
* including optimizations like not triggering a new seek if it would
* be faster to just keep reading until we reach the seek point. The
* "seek to EOF" idiom to determine file size is also handled efficiently
* (seeking to EOF and then seeking back to the previous offset does not
* trigger any Necko activity)
* -- The cache also handles the case where the server does not support
* seeking
* -- Necko can only send data to the main thread, but MediaCacheStream
* can distribute data to any thread
* -- The cache exposes APIs so clients can detect what data is
* currently held
*
* Note that although HTTP is the most important transport and we only
* support transport-level seeking via HTTP byte-ranges, the media cache
* works with any kind of Necko channels and provides random access to
* cached data even for, e.g., FTP streams.
*
* The media cache is not persistent. It does not currently allow
* data from one load to be used by other loads, either within the same
* browser session or across browser sessions. The media cache file
* is marked "delete on close" so it will automatically disappear in the
* event of a browser crash or shutdown.
*
* The media cache is block-based. Streams are divided into blocks of a
* fixed size (currently 4K) and we cache blocks. A single cache contains
* blocks for all streams.
*
* The cache size is controlled by the media.cache_size preference
* (which is in KB). The default size is 500MB.
*
* The replacement policy predicts a "time of next use" for each block
* in the cache. When we need to free a block, the block with the latest
* "time of next use" will be evicted. Blocks are divided into
* different classes, each class having its own predictor:
* FREE_BLOCK: these blocks are effectively infinitely far in the future;
* a free block will always be chosen for replacement before other classes
* of blocks.
* METADATA_BLOCK: these are blocks that contain data that has been read
* by the decoder in "metadata mode", e.g. while the decoder is searching
* the stream during a seek operation. These blocks are managed with an
* LRU policy; the "time of next use" is predicted to be as far in the
* future as the last use was in the past.
* PLAYED_BLOCK: these are blocks that have not been read in "metadata
* mode", and contain data behind the current decoder read point. (They
* may not actually have been read by the decoder, if the decoder seeked
* forward.) These blocks are managed with an LRU policy except that we add
* REPLAY_DELAY seconds of penalty to their predicted "time of next use",
* to reflect the uncertainty about whether replay will actually happen
* or not.
* READAHEAD_BLOCK: these are blocks that have not been read in
* "metadata mode" and that are entirely ahead of the current decoder
* read point. (They may actually have been read by the decoder in the
* past if the decoder has since seeked backward.) We predict the
* time of next use for these blocks by assuming steady playback and
* dividing the number of bytes between the block and the current decoder
* read point by the decoder's estimate of its playback rate in bytes
* per second. This ensures that the blocks farthest ahead are considered
* least valuable.
* For efficient prediction of the "latest time of next use", we maintain
* linked lists of blocks in each class, ordering blocks by time of
* next use. READAHEAD_BLOCKS have one linked list per stream, since their
* time of next use depends on stream parameters, but the other lists
* are global.
*
* A block containing a current decoder read point can contain data
* both behind and ahead of the read point. It will be classified as a
* PLAYED_BLOCK but we will give it special treatment so it is never
* evicted --- it actually contains the highest-priority readahead data
* as well as played data.
*
* "Time of next use" estimates are also used for flow control. When
* reading ahead we can predict the time of next use for the data that
* will be read. If the predicted time of next use is later then the
* prediction for all currently cached blocks, and the cache is full, then
* we should suspend reading from the Necko channel.
*
* Unfortunately suspending the Necko channel can't immediately stop the
* flow of data from the server. First our desire to suspend has to be
* transmitted to the server (in practice, Necko stops reading from the
* socket, which causes the kernel to shrink its advertised TCP receive
* window size to zero). Then the server can stop sending the data, but
* we will receive data roughly corresponding to the product of the link
* bandwidth multiplied by the round-trip latency. We deal with this by
* letting the cache overflow temporarily and then trimming it back by
* moving overflowing blocks back into the body of the cache, replacing
* less valuable blocks as they become available. We try to avoid simply
* discarding overflowing readahead data.
*
* All changes to the actual contents of the cache happen on the main
* thread, since that's where Necko's notifications happen.
*
* The media cache maintains at most one Necko channel for each stream.
* (In the future it might be advantageous to relax this, e.g. so that a
* seek to near the end of the file can happen without disturbing
* the loading of data from the beginning of the file.) The Necko channel
* is managed through ChannelMediaResource; MediaCache does not
* depend on Necko directly.
*
* Every time something changes that might affect whether we want to
* read from a Necko channel, or whether we want to seek on the Necko
* channel --- such as data arriving or data being consumed by the
* decoder --- we asynchronously trigger MediaCache::Update on the main
* thread. That method implements most cache policy. It evaluates for
* each stream whether we want to suspend or resume the stream and what
* offset we should seek to, if any. It is also responsible for trimming
* back the cache size to its desired limit by moving overflowing blocks
* into the main part of the cache.
*
* Streams can be opened in non-seekable mode. In non-seekable mode,
* the cache will only call ChannelMediaResource::CacheClientSeek with
* a 0 offset. The cache tries hard not to discard readahead data
* for non-seekable streams, since that could trigger a potentially
* disastrous re-read of the entire stream. It's up to cache clients
* to try to avoid requesting seeks on such streams.
*
* MediaCache has a single internal monitor for all synchronization.
* This is treated as the lowest level monitor in the media code. So,
* we must not acquire any MediaDecoder locks or MediaResource locks
* while holding the MediaCache lock. But it's OK to hold those locks
* and then get the MediaCache lock.
*
* MediaCache associates a principal with each stream. CacheClientSeek
* can trigger new HTTP requests; due to redirects to other domains,
* each HTTP load can return data with a different principal. This
* principal must be passed to NotifyDataReceived, and MediaCache
* will detect when different principals are associated with data in the
* same stream, and replace them with a null principal.
