/*
 * objpool: ring-array based lockless MPMC queue
 *
 * Copyright: [email protected],[email protected]
 *
 * objpool is a scalable implementation of high performance queue for
 * object allocation and reclamation, such as kretprobe instances.
 *
 * With leveraging percpu ring-array to mitigate hot spots of memory
 * contention, it delivers near-linear scalability for high parallel
 * scenarios. The objpool is best suited for the following cases:
 * 1) Memory allocation or reclamation are prohibited or too expensive
 * 2) Consumers are of different priorities, such as irqs and threads
 *
 * Limitations:
 * 1) Maximum objects (capacity) is fixed after objpool creation
 * 2) All pre-allocated objects are managed in percpu ring array,
 *    which consumes more memory than linked lists
 */

/**
 * struct objpool_slot - percpu ring array of objpool
 * @head: head sequence of the local ring array (to retrieve at)
 * @tail: tail sequence of the local ring array (to append at)
 * @last: the last sequence number marked as ready for retrieve
 * @mask: bits mask for modulo capacity to compute array indexes
 * @entries: object entries on this slot
 *
 * Represents a cpu-local array-based ring buffer, its size is specialized
 * during initialization of object pool. The percpu objpool node is to be
 * allocated from local memory for NUMA system, and to be kept compact in
 * continuous memory: CPU assigned number of objects are stored just after
 * the body of objpool_node.
 *
 * Real size of the ring array is far too smaller than the value range of
 * head and tail, typed as uint32_t: [0, 2^32), so only lower bits (mask)
 * of head and tail are used as the actual position in the ring array. In
 * general the ring array is acting like a small sliding window, which is
 * always moving forward in the loop of [0, 2^32).
