including the merge of `hdffv/hdf5/develop`, back to the branch that Vailin and
I share.
Now I need to put this branch on a fork with a less confusing name than
vchoi_fork!
(A) #5: Add the "pb_expansion_threshold" field to the "H5F_vfd_swmr_config_t" structure
and update H5Pset_vfd_swmr_config() and H5Pget_vfd_swmr_config() accordingly
(B) #13 bullet 2: Comment H5F_vfd_swmr_config_t in H5Fpublic.h properly
(copied from John's description in the RFC)
(C) Change the field name "vfd_swmr_writer" to "writer" in "struct H5F_vfd_swmr_config_t"
(as indicated on page 11 in the RFC) and all references to it
had finished its work and closed the .h5 file, thus removing the shadow file.
Make the sparse writer wait to close the .h5 file for a signal from
testvfdswmr.sh. In testvfdswmr.sh, send the signal when the readers have all
finished.
(1) Increase the # of records to write (Nrecords) in testvfdswmr.sh.in so as to ensure the writer
will not exit before the reader
(2) Use H5E_BEGIN_TRY/END_TRY when H5Fopen() the test file in reader tests
(3) Add "READER" or "WRITER" to debugging messages
(4) Misc cleanup
--src/H5PB.c: checks for size >= page size
--src/H5MF.c: disable/enable page buffering in H5MF_tidy_self_referential_fsm_hack()
--src/H5MFsection.c: call H5PB_remove_entry() for both raw/metadata pages in H5MF__sect_small_merge()
(B) Port and modify existing concurrent swmr tests to VFD SWMR. Also modify the following:
--remove flushes from VFD SWMR writer tests
--set Nreaders to 0 in test/testvfdswmr.sh.in to test for writers only
