 *              deserialize callback.  If appropriate, the flush dependency
 *              relationship will be recreated by the cache client.
 *
 *              If the prefetched entry is a flush dependency parent,
 *              destroy the flush dependency relationship with all its
 *              children.  As all these children must be prefetched entries,
 *              recreate these flush dependency relationships with
 *              deserialized entry after it is inserted in the cache.
 *
 *              Since deserializing a prefetched entry is semantically
 *              equivalent to a load, issue an entry loaded nofification
 *              if the notify callback is defined.
 *
 * Return:      SUCCEED on success, and FAIL on failure.
 *
 *              Note that *entry_ptr_ptr is undefined on failure.

 * Programmer:  John Mainzer, 8/10/15
 *
 * Changes:     Updated sanity checks for possibility that the slist
 *              is disabled.

 *
 *		In particular, the cache must
 *
 *		1) serialize all its entries,

 *		2) compute the size of the metadata cache image,

 *		3) allocate space for the metadata cache image, and
 *
 *		4) setup the metadata cache image superblock extension
 *		   message with the address and size of the metadata
 *		   cache image.
 *
 *		The parallel case is complicated by the fact that
 *		while all metadata caches must contain the same set of
 *		dirty entries, there is no such requirement for clean
 *		entries or the order that entries appear in the LRU.
 *
 *		Thus, there is no requirement that different processes
 *		will construct cache images of the same size.
 *
 *		This is not a major issue as long as all processes include
 *		the same set of dirty entries in the cache -- as they
 *		currently do (note that this will change when we implement
 *		the ageout feature).  Since only the process zero cache
 *		writes the cache image, all that is necessary is to
 *		broadcast the process zero cache size for use in the
 *		superblock extension messages and cache image block
 *		allocations.
 *
 *		Note: At present, cache image is disabled in the
 *		parallel case as the new collective metadata write
 *		code must be modified to support cache image.

 * Function:    H5C__prep_for_file_close__compute_fd_heights
 *
 * Purpose:     Recent modifications to flush dependency support in the
 *		metadata cache have removed the notion of flush dependency
 *		height.  This is a problem for the cache image feature,
 *		as flush dependency height is used to order entries in the
 *		cache image so that flush dependency parents appear before
 *		flush dependency children. (Recall that the flush dependency
 *		height of an entry in a flush dependency relationship is the
 *		length of the longest path from the entry to a leaf entry --
 *		that is an entry with flush dependency parents, but no
 *		flush dependency children.  With the introduction of the
 *		possibility of multiple flush dependency parents, we have
 *		a flush partial dependency latice, not a flush dependency
 *		tree.  But since the partial latice is acyclic, the concept
 *		of flush dependency height still makes sense.
 *
 *		The purpose of this function is to compute the flush
 *		dependency height of all entries that appear in the cache
 *		image.
 *
 *		At present, entries are included or excluded from the
 *		cache image depending upon the ring in which they reside.
 *		Thus there is no chance that one side of a flush dependency
 *		will be in the cache image, and the other side not.
 *
 *		However, once we start placing a limit on the size of the
 *		cache image, or start excluding prefetched entries from
 *		the cache image if they haven't been accessed in some
 *		number of file close / open cycles, this will no longer
 *		be the case.
 *
 *		In particular, if a flush dependency child is dirty, and
 *		one of its flush dependency parents is dirty and not in
 *		the cache image, then the flush dependency child cannot
 *		be in the cache image without violating flush ordering.
 *
 *		Observe that a clean flush dependency child can be either
 *		in or out of the cache image without effect on flush
 *		dependencies.
 *
 *		Similarly, a flush dependency parent can always be part
 *		of a cache image, regardless of whether it is clean or
 *		dirty -- but remember that a flush dependency parent can
 *		also be a flush dependency child.

 * Purpose:     H5C__prep_for_file_close__compute_fd_heights() prepares
 *		for the computation of flush dependency heights of all
 *		entries in the cache image, this function actually does
 *		it.
 *
 *		The basic observation behind this function is as follows:
 *
 *		Suppose you have an entry E with a flush dependency
 *		height of X.  Then the parents of E must all have
 *		flush dependency X + 1 or greater.
 *
 *		Use this observation to compute flush dependency height
 *		of all entries in the cache image via the following
 *		recursive algorithm:
 *
 *		1) On entry, set the flush dependency height of the
 *		   supplied cache entry to the supplied value.
 *
 *		2) Examine all the flush dependency parents of the
 *		   supplied entry.
 *
 *		   If the parent is in the cache image, and has flush
 *		   dependency height less than or equal to the flush
 *		   dependency height of the current entry, call the
 *		   recursive routine on the parent with flush dependency
 *		   height equal to the flush dependency height of the
 *		   child plus 1.
 *
 *		   Otherwise do nothing.
 *
 *		Observe that if the flush dependency height of all entries
 *		in the image is initialized to zero, and if this recursive
 *		function is called with flush dependency height 0 on all
 *		entries in the cache image with FD parents in the image,
 *		but without FD children in the image, the correct flush
 *		dependency height should be set for all entries in the
 *		cache image.
