161/* Per-thread data.
162 *
163 * Multiple forms of per-thread data exist, each with its own pluses and
164 * minuses:
165 *
166 * - POSIX per-thread data via pthread_key_t is portable to any pthreads
167 * implementation, and allows a destructor function to be defined. It
168 * only (directly) supports per-thread pointers, which are always
169 * initialized to NULL. It requires once-only allocation of a
170 * pthread_key_t value. It is relatively slow.
171 *
172 * - The thread_local feature newly defined in C11 <threads.h> works with
173 * any data type and initializer, and it is fast. thread_local does not
174 * require once-only initialization like pthread_key_t. C11 does not
175 * define what happens if one attempts to access a thread_local object
176 * from a thread other than the one to which that object belongs. There
177 * is no provision to call a user-specified destructor when a thread
178 * ends.
179 *
180 * - The __thread keyword is a GCC extension similar to thread_local but
181 * with a longer history. __thread is not portable to every GCC version
182 * or environment. __thread does not restrict the use of a thread-local
183 * object outside its own thread.
184 *
185 * Here's a handy summary:
186 *
187 * pthread_key_t thread_local __thread
188 * ------------- ------------ -------------
189 * portability high low medium
190 * speed low high high
191 * supports destructors? yes no no
192 * needs key allocation? yes no no
193 * arbitrary initializer? no yes yes
194 * cross-thread access? yes no yes

211 * POSIX per-thread data otherwise.

220 * TYPE *NAME_get_unsafe(void)

225 * per-thread variable in the program. Use NAME_get_unsafe(), which
226 * avoids a conditional test and is thus slightly faster, in a context
227 * where one knows that NAME_get() has already been called previously.
228 *
229 * There is no "NAME_set()" (or "NAME_set_unsafe()") function. To set the

426/* Convenient once-only execution.
427 *
428 *
429 * Problem
430 * =======
431 *
432 * POSIX provides pthread_once_t and pthread_once() as primitives for running a
433 * set of code only once per process execution. They are used like this:
434 *
435 * static void run_once(void) { ...initialization... }
436 * static pthread_once_t once = PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT;
437 * ...
438 * pthread_once(&once, run_once);
439 *
440 * pthread_once() does not allow passing any parameters to the initialization
441 * function, which is often inconvenient, because it means that the function
442 * can only access data declared at file scope.
443 *
444 *
445 * Solution
446 * ========
447 *
448 * Use ovsthread_once, like this, instead:
449 *
450 * static struct ovsthread_once once = OVSTHREAD_ONCE_INITIALIZER;
451 *
452 * if (ovsthread_once_start(&once)) {
453 * ...initialization...
454 * ovsthread_once_done(&once);
