 * \page AstObj2 Object Model implementing objects and containers.

This module implements an abstraction for objects (with locks and
reference counts), and containers for these user-defined objects,
also supporting locking, reference counting and callbacks.

The internal implementation of objects and containers is opaque to the user,
so we can use different data structures as needs arise.

\section AstObj2_UsageObjects USAGE - OBJECTS

An ao2 object is a block of memory that the user code can access,
and for which the system keeps track (with a bit of help from the
programmer) of the number of references around.  When an object has
no more references (refcount == 0), it is destroyed, by first
invoking whatever 'destructor' function the programmer specifies
(it can be NULL if none is necessary), and then freeing the memory.
This way objects can be shared without worrying who is in charge
of freeing them.
As an additional feature, ao2 objects are associated to individual
locks.

Creating an object requires the size of the object and
and a pointer to the destructor function:
 
    struct foo *o;
 
    o = ao2_alloc(sizeof(struct foo), my_destructor_fn);

The value returned points to the user-visible portion of the objects
(user-data), but is also used as an identifier for all object-related
operations such as refcount and lock manipulations.

On return from ao2_alloc():

 - the object has a refcount = 1;
 - the memory for the object is allocated dynamically and zeroed;
 - we cannot realloc() the object itself;
 - we cannot call free(o) to dispose of the object. Rather, we
   tell the system that we do not need the reference anymore:

    ao2_ref(o, -1)

  causing the destructor to be called (and then memory freed) when
  the refcount goes to 0. This is also available as ao2_unref(o),
  and returns NULL as a convenience, so you can do things like

	o = ao2_unref(o);

  and clean the original pointer to prevent errors.

- ao2_ref(o, +1) can be used to modify the refcount on the
  object in case we want to pass it around.

- ao2_lock(obj), ao2_unlock(obj), ao2_trylock(obj) can be used
  to manipulate the lock associated with the object.


\section AstObj2_UsageContainers USAGE - CONTAINERS

An ao2 container is an abstract data structure where we can store
ao2 objects, search them (hopefully in an efficient way), and iterate
or apply a callback function to them. A container is just an ao2 object
itself.

A container must first be allocated, specifying the initial
parameters. At the moment, this is done as follows:

    <b>Sample Usage:</b>
    \code

    struct ao2_container *c;

    c = ao2_container_alloc(MAX_BUCKETS, my_hash_fn, my_cmp_fn);
    \endcode

where

- MAX_BUCKETS is the number of buckets in the hash table,
- my_hash_fn() is the (user-supplied) function that returns a
  hash key for the object (further reduced modulo MAX_BUCKETS
  by the container's code);
- my_cmp_fn() is the default comparison function used when doing
  searches on the container,

A container knows little or nothing about the objects it stores,
other than the fact that they have been created by ao2_alloc().
All knowledge of the (user-defined) internals of the objects
is left to the (user-supplied) functions passed as arguments
to ao2_container_alloc().

If we want to insert an object in a container, we should
initialize its fields -- especially, those used by my_hash_fn() --
to compute the bucket to use.
Once done, we can link an object to a container with

    ao2_link(c, o);

The function returns NULL in case of errors (and the object
is not inserted in the container). Other values mean success
(we are not supposed to use the value as a pointer to anything).

\note While an object o is in a container, we expect that
my_hash_fn(o) will always return the same value. The function
does not lock the object to be computed, so modifications of
those fields that affect the computation of the hash should
be done by extracting the object from the container, and
reinserting it after the change (this is not terribly expensive).

\note A container with a single buckets is effectively a linked
list. However there is no ordering among elements.

 \page AstObj2_Containers AstObj2 Containers

Containers are data structures meant to store several objects,
and perform various operations on them.
Internally, objects are stored in lists, hash tables or other
data structures depending on the needs.

\note NOTA BENE: at the moment the only container we support is the
	hash table and its degenerate form, the list.

Operations on container include:

  -  c = \b ao2_container_alloc(size, cmp_fn, hash_fn)
	allocate a container with desired size and default compare
	and hash function

  -  \b ao2_find(c, arg, flags)
	returns zero or more element matching a given criteria
	(specified as arg). Flags indicate how many results we
	want (only one or all matching entries), and whether we
	should unlink the object from the container.

  -  \b ao2_callback(c, flags, fn, arg)
	apply fn(obj, arg) to all objects in the container.
	Similar to find. fn() can tell when to stop, and
	do anything with the object including unlinking it.
	Note that the entire operation is run with the container
	locked, so noone else can change its content while we work on it.
	However, we pay this with the fact that doing
	anything blocking in the callback keeps the container
	blocked.
	The mechanism is very flexible because the callback function fn()
	can do basically anything e.g. counting, deleting records, etc.
	possibly using arg to store the results.
   
  -  \b iterate on a container
	this is done with the following sequence

\code

	    struct ao2_container *c = ... // our container
	    struct ao2_iterator i;
	    void *o;

	    i = ao2_iterator_init(c, flags);
     
	    while ( (o = ao2_iterator_next(&i)) ) {
		... do something on o ...
		ao2_ref(o, -1);
	    }
\endcode

	The difference with the callback is that the control
	on how to iterate is left to us.

    - \b ao2_ref(c, -1)
	dropping a reference to a container destroys it, very simple!
 
Containers are ao2 objects themselves, and this is why their
implementation is simple too.

Before declaring containers, we need to declare the types of the
arguments passed to the constructor - in turn, this requires
to define callback and hash functions and their arguments.

/*! \brief

 * in a container, as described below.
 * 
 * \param c A pointer to the container to operate on.
 * \param arg passed to the callback.
 * \param flags A set of flags specifying the operation to perform,

	the callback.
 * \return 	A pointer to the object found/marked,

 *
 * If the function returns any objects, their refcount is incremented,
 * and the caller is in charge of decrementing them once done.
 * Also, in case of multiple values returned, the list used
 * to store the objects must be freed by the caller.
 *
 * Typically, ao2_callback() is used for two purposes:
 * - to perform some action (including removal from the container) on one
 *   or more objects; in this case, cb_fn() can modify the object itself,
 *   and to perform deletion should set CMP_MATCH on the matching objects,
 *   and have OBJ_UNLINK set in flags.
 * - to look for a specific object in a container; in this case, cb_fn()
 *   should not modify the object, but just return a combination of
 *   CMP_MATCH and CMP_STOP on the desired object.
 * Other usages are also possible, of course.

 * This function searches through a container and performs operations
 * on objects according on flags passed.
 * XXX describe better
 * The comparison is done calling the compare function set implicitly. 
 * The p pointer can be a pointer to an object or to a key, 
 * we can say this looking at flags value.
 * If p points to an object we will search for the object pointed
 * by this value, otherwise we serch for a key value.
 * If the key is not uniq we only find the first matching valued.
 * If we use the OBJ_MARK flags, we mark all the objects matching 
 * the condition.
 *
 * The use of flags argument is the follow:
 *
 *	OBJ_UNLINK 		unlinks the object found
 *	OBJ_NODATA		on match, do return an object
 *				Callbacks use OBJ_NODATA as a default
 *				functions such as find() do
 *	OBJ_MULTIPLE		return multiple matches
 *				Default for _find() is no.
 *				to a key (not yet supported)
 *	OBJ_POINTER 		the pointer is an object pointer
 *
 * In case we return a list, the callee must take care to destroy 
 * that list when no longer used.
 *
 * \note When the returned object is no longer in use, ao2_ref() should
 * be used to free the additional reference possibly created by this function.

/*! \brief
 *
 *
 * When we need to walk through a container, we use
 * ao2_iterator to keep track of the current position.
 * 
 * Because the navigation is typically done without holding the
 * lock on the container across the loop,
 * objects can be inserted or deleted or moved
 * while we work. As a consequence, there is no guarantee that
 * the we manage to touch all the elements on the list, or it
 * is possible that we touch the same object multiple times.
 * However, within the current hash table container, the following is true:
 *  - It is not possible to miss an object in the container while iterating
 *    unless it gets added after the iteration begins and is added to a bucket
 *    that is before the one the current object is in.  In this case, even if
 *    you locked the container around the entire iteration loop, you still would
 *    not see this object, because it would still be waiting on the container
 *    lock so that it can be added.
 *  - It would be extremely rare to see an object twice.  The only way this can
 *    happen is if an object got unlinked from the container and added again 
 *    during the same iteration.  Furthermore, when the object gets added back,
 *    it has to be in the current or later bucket for it to be seen again.
 *
 * An iterator must be first initialized with ao2_iterator_init(),
 * then we can use o = ao2_iterator_next() to move from one
 * element to the next. Remember that the object returned by
 * ao2_iterator_next() has its refcount incremented,
 * and the reference must be explicitly released when done with it.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *  \code
 *
 *  struct ao2_container *c = ... // the container we want to iterate on
 *  struct ao2_iterator i;
 *  struct my_obj *o;
 *
 *  i = ao2_iterator_init(c, flags);
 *
 *  while ( (o = ao2_iterator_next(&i)) ) {
 *     ... do something on o ...
 *     ao2_ref(o, -1);
 *  }
