This header supports freeing data in datastructures that are designed
such that they can be read without locking concurrently with write
operations. That is, typically write operations use mutex based locking
to avoid conflicts, but the write operations to the datastructure are
carefully ordered to allow readers to work concurrently.
For example, an element can be removed safely from a linked list by
making the previous cell point to the next. The problem is that we
cannot free the list cell because some thread may be traversing it. This
thread will now follow an invalid next pointer. That is where this
library comes in. It demands readers to wrap their dangerous work in the
sequence below instead of acquiring a lock:
enter_scan(handle)
...
exit_scan(handle)
And, it demands writers to call the following rather than PL_free():
deferred_free(handle, ptr)
deferred_finalize(handle, ptr,
(*finalizer)(void*mem, void*client_data),
client_data)
Actual freeing the objects is deferred until there are no readers
scanning the object. Note that this is too strong a requirement.
Ideally, we'd pick the free list and wait until all threads have had
some point where they finished all their scanning activities. I.e., this
schema leads to long defers actually freeing memory if there are almost
continuously threads that batter a datastructure.
TODO:
- The current datastructure keeps a linked list of free defer-cells.
We should somehow clear up this list if it gets too big. This should
be doable by atomically removing it from the free structure and
deleting it.
- If we discover that we do not get into an inactive state for a long
time, we should somehow switch to a different technique. The different
technique may imply that we pick the free list and wait until all
threads have finished their scan. Not sure there is a fairly elegant
way to switch between the two techniques.
