40 * The mapper implements the kernel cache for a given file or directory.
41 * There is one mapper per file/dir. It is implemented as a three levels radix tree,
42 * entirely stored in the same cluster as the inode representing the file/dir.
43 * - The fast retrieval key is the page index in the file.
44 *   The ix1_width, ix2_width, ix3_width sub-indexes are configuration parameters.
45 * - The leaves are pointers on physical page descriptors, dynamically allocated
46 *   in the local cluster.
47 * - In a given cluster, a mapper is a "private" structure: a thread accessing the mapper
48 *   must be running in the cluster containing it (can be a local thread or a RPC thread).
49 * - The mapper is protected by a blocking "rwlock", to support several simultaneous
50 *   readers, and only one writer. This lock implement a busy waiting policy.
51 * - The two functions vfs_move_page_to_mapper() and vfs_move_page_from_mapper() define
52 *   the generic API used to move pages to or from the relevant file system on IOC device.
53 * - the mapper_move() function is used to move data to or from a, possibly distributed
54 *   user buffer in user space.
55 * - The mapper_get_page() function that return a page descriptor pointer from a page
56 *   index in file is in charge of handling the miss on the mapper cache.
57 * - In the present implementation the cache size increases on demand, and the
58 *   allocated memory is only released when the mapper/inode is destroyed.
