/* We would like to use also the buffer frames to allocate memory. This
would be desirable, because then the memory consumption of the database
would be fixed, and we might even lock the buffer pool to the main memory.
The problem here is that the buffer management routines can themselves call
memory allocation, while the buffer pool mutex is reserved.

The main components of the memory consumption are:

1. buffer pool,
2. parsed and optimized SQL statements,
3. data dictionary cache,
4. log buffer,
5. locks for each transaction,
6. hash table for the adaptive index,
7. state and buffers for each SQL query currently being executed,
8. session for each user, and
9. stack for each OS thread.

Items 1-3 are managed by an LRU algorithm. Items 5 and 6 can potentially
consume very much memory. Items 7 and 8 should consume quite little memory,
and the OS should take care of item 9, which too should consume little memory.

A solution to the memory management:

1. the buffer pool size is set separately;
2. log buffer size is set separately;
3. the common pool size for all the other entries, except 8, is set separately.

Problems: we may waste memory if the common pool is set too big. Another
problem is the locks, which may take very much space in big transactions.
Then the shared pool size should be set very big. We can allow locks to take
space from the buffer pool, but the SQL optimizer is then unaware of the
usable size of the buffer pool. We could also combine the objects in the
common pool and the buffers in the buffer pool into a single LRU list and
manage it uniformly, but this approach does not take into account the parsing
and other costs unique to SQL statements.

So, let the SQL statements and the data dictionary entries form one single
LRU list, let us call it the dictionary LRU list. The locks for a transaction
can be seen as a part of the state of the transaction. Hence, they should be
stored in the common pool. We still have the problem of a very big update
transaction, for example, which will set very many x-locks on rows, and the
locks will consume a lot of memory, say, half of the buffer pool size.

Another problem is what to do if we are not able to malloc a requested
block of memory from the common pool. Then we can truncate the LRU list of
the dictionary cache. If it does not help, a system error results.

Because 5 and 6 may potentially consume very much memory, we let them grow
into the buffer pool. We may let the locks of a transaction take frames
from the buffer pool, when the corresponding memory heap block has grown to
the size of a buffer frame. Similarly for the hash node cells of the locks,
and for the adaptive index. Thus, for each individual transaction, its locks
can occupy at most about the size of the buffer frame of memory in the common
pool, and after that its locks will grow into the buffer pool. */
