[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v10 30/46] datastore: add local datastore cache for network attached storages

Use a local datastore as cache using LRU cache replacement policy for
operations on a datastore backed by a network, e.g. by an S3 object
store backend. The goal is to reduce number of requests to the
backend and thereby save costs (monetary as well as time).
Cached chunks are stored on the local datastore cache, already
containing the datastore's contents metadata (namespace, group,
snapshot, owner, index files, ecc..), used to perform fast lookups.
The cache itself only stores chunk digests, not the raw data itself.
When payload data is required, contents are looked up and read from
the local datastore cache filesystem, including fallback to fetch from
the backend if the presumably cached entry is not found.
The cacher allows to fetch cache items on cache misses via the access
method.
The capacity of the cache is derived from the local datastore cache
filesystem, or by the user configured value, whichever is smalller.
The capacity is only set on instantiation of the store, and the current
value kept as long as the datastore remains cached in the datastore
cache. To change the value, the store has to be either be set to offline
mode and back, or the services restarted.
Basic performance tests:
Backup and upload of contents of linux git repository to AWS S3,
snapshots removed in-between each backup run to avoid other chunk reuse
optimization of PBS.
no-cache:
had to backup 5.069 GiB of 5.069 GiB (compressed 3.718 GiB) in 50.76 s (average 102.258 MiB/s)
empty-cache:
had to backup 5.069 GiB of 5.069 GiB (compressed 3.718 GiB) in 50.42 s (average 102.945 MiB/s)
all-cached:
had to backup 5.069 GiB of 5.069 GiB (compressed 3.718 GiB) in 43.78 s (average 118.554 MiB/s)
