The memtable wants to listen for changes in its `total_memory` in order
to decrease its `_flushed_memory` in case some of the freed memory has already
been accounted as flushed. (This can happen because the flush reader sees
and accounts even outdated MVCC versions, which can be deleted and freed
during the flush).
Today, the memtable doesn't listen to those changes directly. Instead,
some calls which can affect `total_memory` (in particular, the mutation cleaner)
manually check the value of `total_memory` before and after they run, and they
pass the difference to the memtable.
But that's not good enough, because `total_memory` can also change outside
of those manually-checked calls -- for example, during LSA compaction, which
can occur anytime. This makes memtable's accounting inaccurate and can lead
to unexpected states.
But we already have an interface for listening to `total_memory` changes
actively, and `dirty_memory_manager`, which also needs to know it,
does just that. So what happens e.g. when `mutation_cleaner` runs
is that `mutation_cleaner` checks the value of `total_memory` before it runs,
then it runs, causing several changes to `total_memory` which are picked up
by `dirty_memory_manager`, then `mutation_cleaner` checks the end value of
`total_memory` and passes the difference to `memtable`, which corrects
whatever was observed by `dirty_memory_manager`.
To allow memtable to modify its `_flushed_memory` correctly, we need
to make `memtable` itself a `region_listener`. Also, instead of
the situation where `dirty_memory_manager` receives `total_memory`
change notifications from `logalloc` directly, and `memtable` fixes
the manager's state later, we want to only the memtable listen
for the notifications, and pass them already modified accordingl
to the manager, so there is no intermediate wrong states.
This patch moves the `region_listener` callbacks from the
`dirty_memory_manager` to the `memtable`. It's not intended to be
a functional change, just a source code refactoring.
The next patch will be a functional change enabled by this.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
