/*
* L2 table cache usage is as follows:
*
* An open image has one L2 table cache that is used to avoid accessing the
* image file for recently referenced L2 tables.
*
* Cluster offset lookup translates the logical offset within the block device
* to a cluster offset within the image file. This is done by indexing into
* the L1 and L2 tables which store cluster offsets. It is here where the L2
* table cache serves up recently referenced L2 tables.
*
* If there is a cache miss, that L2 table is read from the image file and
* committed to the cache. Subsequent accesses to that L2 table will be served
* from the cache until the table is evicted from the cache.
*
* L2 tables are also committed to the cache when new L2 tables are allocated
* in the image file. Since the L2 table cache is write-through, the new L2
* table is first written out to the image file and then committed to the
* cache.
*
* Multiple I/O requests may be using an L2 table cache entry at any given
* time. That means an entry may be in use across several requests and
* reference counting is needed to free the entry at the correct time. In
* particular, an entry evicted from the cache will only be freed once all
* references are dropped.
*
* An in-flight I/O request will hold a reference to a L2 table cache entry for
* the period during which it needs to access the L2 table. This includes
* cluster offset lookup, L2 table allocation, and L2 table update when a new
* data cluster has been allocated.
*
* An interesting case occurs when two requests need to access an L2 table that
* is not in the cache. Since the operation to read the table from the image
* file takes some time to complete, both requests may see a cache miss and
* start reading the L2 table from the image file. The first to finish will
* commit its L2 table into the cache. When the second tries to commit its
* table will be deleted in favor of the existing cache entry.
