**
** This file contains an example implementation of an asynchronous IO
** backend for SQLite.
**
** WHAT IS ASYNCHRONOUS I/O?
**
** With asynchronous I/O, write requests are handled by a separate thread
** running in the background.  This means that the thread that initiates
** a database write does not have to wait for (sometimes slow) disk I/O
** to occur.  The write seems to happen very quickly, though in reality
** it is happening at its usual slow pace in the background.
**
** Asynchronous I/O appears to give better responsiveness, but at a price.
** You lose the Durable property.  With the default I/O backend of SQLite,
** once a write completes, you know that the information you wrote is
** safely on disk.  With the asynchronous I/O, this is not the case.  If
** your program crashes or if a power lose occurs after the database
** write but before the asynchronous write thread has completed, then the
** database change might never make it to disk and the next user of the
** database might not see your change.
**
** You lose Durability with asynchronous I/O, but you still retain the
** other parts of ACID:  Atomic,  Consistent, and Isolated.  Many
** appliations get along fine without the Durablity.
**
** HOW IT WORKS
**
** Asynchronous I/O works by creating a special SQLite "vfs" structure
** and registering it with sqlite3_vfs_register(). When files opened via
** this vfs are written to (using sqlite3OsWrite()), the data is not
** written directly to disk, but is placed in the "write-queue" to be
** handled by the background thread.
**
** When files opened with the asynchronous vfs are read from
** (using sqlite3OsRead()), the data is read from the file on
** disk and the write-queue, so that from the point of view of
** the vfs reader the OsWrite() appears to have already completed.
**
** The special vfs is registered (and unregistered) by calls to
** function asyncEnable() (see below).
**
** LIMITATIONS
**
** This demonstration code is deliberately kept simple in order to keep
** the main ideas clear and easy to understand.  Real applications that
** want to do asynchronous I/O might want to add additional capabilities.
** For example, in this demonstration if writes are happening at a steady
** stream that exceeds the I/O capability of the background writer thread,
** the queue of pending write operations will grow without bound until we
** run out of memory.  Users of this technique may want to keep track of
** the quantity of pending writes and stop accepting new write requests
** when the buffer gets to be too big.
**
** LOCKING + CONCURRENCY
**
** Multiple connections from within a single process that use this
** implementation of asynchronous IO may access a single database
** file concurrently. From the point of view of the user, if all
** connections are from within a single process, there is no difference
** between the concurrency offered by "normal" SQLite and SQLite
** using the asynchronous backend.
**
** If connections from within multiple database files may access the
** database file, the ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING symbol (see below) must be
** defined. If it is not defined, then no locks are established on
** the database file. In this case, if multiple processes access
** the database file, corruption will quickly result.
**
** If ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING is defined (the default), then connections
** from within multiple processes may access a single database file
** without risking corruption. However concurrency is reduced as
** follows:
**
**   * When a connection using asynchronous IO begins a database
**     transaction, the database is locked immediately. However the
**     lock is not released until after all relevant operations
**     in the write-queue have been flushed to disk. This means
**     (for example) that the database may remain locked for some
**     time after a "COMMIT" or "ROLLBACK" is issued.
**
**   * If an application using asynchronous IO executes transactions
**     in quick succession, other database users may be effectively
**     locked out of the database. This is because when a BEGIN
**     is executed, a database lock is established immediately. But
**     when the corresponding COMMIT or ROLLBACK occurs, the lock
**     is not released until the relevant part of the write-queue
**     has been flushed through. As a result, if a COMMIT is followed
**     by a BEGIN before the write-queue is flushed through, the database
**     is never unlocked,preventing other processes from accessing
**     the database.
**
** Defining ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING when using an NFS or other remote
** file-system may slow things down, as synchronous round-trips to the
** server may be required to establish database file locks.

** THREAD SAFETY NOTES
**
** Basic rules:
**
**     * Both read and write access to the global write-op queue must be
**       protected by the async.queueMutex. As are the async.ioError and
**       async.nFile variables.
**
**     * The async.aLock hash-table and all AsyncLock and AsyncFileLock
**       structures must be protected by the async.lockMutex mutex.
**
**     * The file handles from the underlying system are assumed not to
**       be thread safe.
**
**     * See the last two paragraphs under "The Writer Thread" for
**       an assumption to do with file-handle synchronization by the Os.
**
** Deadlock prevention:
**
**     There are three mutex used by the system: the "writer" mutex,
**     the "queue" mutex and the "lock" mutex. Rules are:
**
**     * It is illegal to block on the writer mutex when any other mutex
**       are held, and
**
**     * It is illegal to block on the queue mutex when the lock mutex
**       is held.
**
**     i.e. mutex's must be grabbed in the order "writer", "queue", "lock".
**
** File system operations (invoked by SQLite thread):
**
**     xOpen
**     xDelete
**     xFileExists
**
** File handle operations (invoked by SQLite thread):
**
**         asyncWrite, asyncClose, asyncTruncate, asyncSync
**
**     The operations above add an entry to the global write-op list. They
**     prepare the entry, acquire the async.queueMutex momentarily while
**     list pointers are  manipulated to insert the new entry, then release
**     the mutex and signal the writer thread to wake up in case it happens
**     to be asleep.
**
**
**         asyncRead, asyncFileSize.
**
**     Read operations. Both of these read from both the underlying file
**     first then adjust their result based on pending writes in the
**     write-op queue.   So async.queueMutex is held for the duration
**     of these operations to prevent other threads from changing the
**     queue in mid operation.
**
**
**         asyncLock, asyncUnlock, asyncCheckReservedLock
**
**     These primitives implement in-process locking using a hash table
**     on the file name.  Files are locked correctly for connections coming
**     from the same process.  But other processes cannot see these locks
**     and will therefore not honor them.
**
**
** The writer thread:
**
**     The async.writerMutex is used to make sure only there is only
**     a single writer thread running at a time.
**
**     Inside the writer thread is a loop that works like this:
**
**         WHILE (write-op list is not empty)
**             Do IO operation at head of write-op list
**             Remove entry from head of write-op list
**         END WHILE
**
**     The async.queueMutex is always held during the <write-op list is
**     not empty> test, and when the entry is removed from the head
**     of the write-op list. Sometimes it is held for the interim
**     period (while the IO is performed), and sometimes it is
**     relinquished. It is relinquished if (a) the IO op is an
**     ASYNC_CLOSE or (b) when the file handle was opened, two of
**     the underlying systems handles were opened on the same
**     file-system entry.
**
**     If condition (b) above is true, then one file-handle
**     (AsyncFile.pBaseRead) is used exclusively by sqlite threads to read the
**     file, the other (AsyncFile.pBaseWrite) by sqlite3_async_flush()
**     threads to perform write() operations. This means that read
**     operations are not blocked by asynchronous writes (although
**     asynchronous writes may still be blocked by reads).
**
**     This assumes that the OS keeps two handles open on the same file
**     properly in sync. That is, any read operation that starts after a
**     write operation on the same file system entry has completed returns
**     data consistent with the write. We also assume that if one thread
**     reads a file while another is writing it all bytes other than the
**     ones actually being written contain valid data.
**
**     If the above assumptions are not true, set the preprocessor symbol
**     SQLITE_ASYNC_TWO_FILEHANDLES to 0.
