/*
 * Data Structures:
 *		buffers live in a freelist and a lookup data structure.
 *
 *
 * Buffer Lookup:
 *		Two important notes.  First, the buffer has to be
 *		available for lookup BEFORE an IO begins.  Otherwise
 *		a second process trying to read the buffer will
 *		allocate its own copy and the buffer pool will
 *		become inconsistent.
 *
 * Buffer Replacement:
 *		see freelist.c.  A buffer cannot be replaced while in
 *		use either by data manager or during IO.
 *
 *
 * Synchronization/Locking:
 *
 * IO_IN_PROGRESS -- this is a flag in the buffer descriptor.
 *		It must be set when an IO is initiated and cleared at
 *		the end of the IO.  It is there to make sure that one
 *		process doesn't start to use a buffer while another is
 *		faulting it in.  see WaitIO and related routines.
 *
 * refcount --	Counts the number of processes holding pins on a buffer.
 *		A buffer is pinned during IO and immediately after a BufferAlloc().
 *		Pins must be released before end of transaction.
 *
 * PrivateRefCount -- Each buffer also has a private refcount that keeps
 *		track of the number of times the buffer is pinned in the current
 *		process.    This is used for two purposes: first, if we pin a
 *		a buffer more than once, we only need to change the shared refcount
 *		once, thus only lock the shared state once; second, when a transaction
 *		aborts, it should only unpin the buffers exactly the number of times it
 *		has pinned them, so that it will not blow away buffers of another
 *		backend.
