Invoked when a use count changes. * * The implementation is free to trigger actions on arbitrary use count changes, typically to free the * use_count->talloc_object when the total use count reaches zero. * * The implementation may modify use_count_entry->count, for example for handling of get()/put() bugs, to clamp specific use * tokens to specific counts, or to prevent the caller from put()ting into negative counts. When returning an error, * there is no implicit undo -- if errors need to be corrected, this function is responsible for that. * * Be aware: use token strings are not copied, and use count entries usually remain listed also when they reach a zero * count. This is trivially perfectly ok when using string literals as use tokens. It is also possible to use * dynamically allocated string tokens, but should a use token string become invalid memory when reaching zero count, it * is the responsibility of this function to set the use_count_entry->use = NULL; this is required to avoid subsequent * osmo_use_count_get_put() invocations from calling strcmp() on invalid memory. (Setting use = NULL cannot be done * implicitly after this callback invocation, because callback implementations are allowed to completely deallocate the * talloc_object and the use_count list entries, and setting use = NULL after that would be a use-after-free.) * * \param[in] use_count_entry Use count entry that is being modified. * \param[in] old_use_count Use count the item had before the change in use count. * \param[in] file Source file string, passed in as __FILE__ from macro osmo_use_count_get_put(). * \param[in] line Source file line, passed in as __LINE__ from macro osmo_use_count_get_put(). * \return 0 on success, negative if any undesired use count is reached; this rc will be returned by * osmo_use_count_get_put(). */ typedef int (* osmo_use_count_cb_t )(struct osmo_use_count_entry *use_count_entry, int32_t old_use_count, const char *file, int line); /*! Use counter state for one used object, managing N distinct named counters. * * Manage any number of uses of an object, with name tokens given to each use. * * A typical use tracking done by a single instance of this struct may look like: * "VLR subscr MSISDN-23 + SMS-receiver: now used by 6 (attached,2*SMS-receiver,SMS-pending,SMS,Paging)" * (This is a DREF log statement from an osmo-msc run delivering an SMS.) * * Use tokens are given as const char* strings. Typically string literals like "foo", __func__, or also NULL. Tokens may * be dynamically allocated or static char[] buffers as long as they are guaranteed to remain unchanged while referenced * by an osmo_use_count_entry. (Breakage occurs if one token magically changes to equal another listed token.) * * Instead of using string literals in the code directly, callers should use a #define, so that typos are caught at * compile time rather than introducing obscure failures that are hard to spot for humans -- don't use foo_get("bar") * and foo_put("bar"), but '#define FOO_USE_BAR "bar"' for foo_get(FOO_USE_BAR) and foo_put(FOO_USE_BAR). * * Counts are int32_t values, a separate count per use token string. Counts can be negative, though in the typical use * case are only positive or 0. Enforcing a range is entirely up to the osmo_use_count_cb_t() implementation. * * The talloc_object must be a pointer eligible to be a talloc context, i.e. either obtained from a function like * talloc_zero() or NULL. talloc_object is typically a pointer to the object that this struct is a member of. Use count * entries may be allocated as talloc children of this (see also "Avoiding dynamic allocation" below). * * The use_cb() implementation allows to trigger actions when reaching specific use counts, e.g. deallocate when * reaching a total sum across all use tokens of zero. * * On initialization, this struct can be left fully zero initialized (the llist_head use_counts is implicitly * initialized upon the first osmo_use_count_get_put()). Usually, set only a talloc_object and a use_cb, though neither * is strictly required. * * Avoiding dynamic allocation: dynamic allocation can be avoided completely by providing sufficient static use count * entries with osmo_use_count_make_static_entries(). Otherwise, each new use token will dynamically allocate a new * osmo_use_count_entry; note that once allocated, these entries stay around even if they reached an entry count of * zero, and will be re-used for subsequent use count tokens. So even if not using osmo_use_count_make_static_entries(), * each osmo_use_count will keep dynamic allocations at a minimum. See also the documentation for osmo_use_count_cb_t. * * List traversal considerations: your typical use count list would max at about six entries in practice. Traversing six * llist->next pointers is less effort than doing a common strlen(). * * Obtaining the total use count: osmo_use_count_total() traverses all use token entries and forms a sum. It is trivial * to keep a separate total count that completely avoids the need for calling this function, which is entirely up to the * individual osmo_use_count_cb_t() implementation. The optimization gained is usually not worth it, though. * * Use token comparison considerations: strcmp() to compare use tokens is a fairly good tradeoff: * - when the strings differ, strcmp() usually exits on the first or second character. * - when the strings are identical, they are usually the exact same char* address (from compile-time string constant), * meaning that strcmp() is completely skipped. * (quote: "if (e->use == use || (use && e->use && !strcmp(e->use, use)))") * - if we specified compile-time string constant use as requirement, we wouldn't need strcmp() at all, but this * minuscule overhead has the benefit of complete correctness for any kinds of use token strings. * * Example: * * struct foo { * struct osmo_use_count use_count; * }; * * // Convenience macros for struct foo instances. These are strict about use count errors. * #define foo_get(FOO, USE) OSMO_ASSERT( osmo_use_count_get_put(&(FOO)->use_count, USE, 1) == 0 ); * #define foo_put(FOO, USE) OSMO_ASSERT( osmo_use_count_get_put(&(FOO)->use_count, USE, -1) == 0 ); * * int foo_use_cb(struct osmo_use_count_entry *use_count_entry, int32_t old_use_count, const char *file, int line) * { * struct foo *foo = use_count_entry->use_count->talloc_object; * if (osmo_use_count_total(use_count_entry->use_count) == 0) * talloc_free(foo); * return 0; * } * * // The function name is a convenient use token: * void rx_stop_baz_request(struct foo *foo) * { * foo_get(foo, __func__); * * foo_put(foo, "baz"); * printf("Stopped Bazing (%p)\n", foo); * * foo_put(foo, __func__); * } * * void use_count_example() * { * struct foo *foo = talloc_zero(ctx, struct foo); * *foo = (struct foo){ * .use_count = { * .talloc_object = foo, * .use_cb = foo_use_cb, * }, * }; * * foo_get(foo, "bar"); // one osmo_use_count_entry was allocated * foo_get(foo, "baz"); // a second osmo_use_count_entry was allocated * foo_get(foo, "baz"); // still two entries * * printf("use: %s\n", osmo_use_count_name_buf(namebuf, sizeof(namebuf), &foo->use_count)); * // "use: 3 (bar,2*baz)" * * foo_put(foo, "bar"); // still two entries, one entry is idle ("bar"=0) * foo_put(foo, "baz"); * rx_stop_baz_request(foo); * // Final "baz" was put(), foo_use_cb() deallocated object foo, as well as all use count entries. * }; */ struct osmo_use_count { /*!
