25 /* Concurrent hash map
26 * ===================
27 *
28 * A single-writer, multiple-reader hash table that efficiently supports
29 * duplicates.
30 *
31 *
32 * Thread-safety
33 * =============
34 *
35 * The general rules are:
36 *
37 * - Only a single thread may safely call into cmap_insert(),
38 * cmap_remove(), or cmap_replace() at any given time.
39 *
40 * - Any number of threads may use functions and macros that search or
41 * iterate through a given cmap, even in parallel with other threads
42 * calling cmap_insert(), cmap_remove(), or cmap_replace().
43 *
44 * There is one exception: cmap_find_protected() is only safe if no thread
45 * is currently calling cmap_insert(), cmap_remove(), or cmap_replace().
46 * (Use ordinary cmap_find() if that is not guaranteed.)
47 *
48 * - See "Iteration" below for additional thread safety rules.
49 *
50 * Writers must use special care to ensure that any elements that they remove
51 * do not get freed or reused until readers have finished with them. This
52 * includes inserting the element back into its original cmap or a different
53 * one. One correct way to do this is to free them from an RCU callback with
54 * ovsrcu_postpone().

101 *
102 * CMAP and HASH are evaluated only once. NODE is evaluated many times.
103 *
104 *
105 * Thread-safety
106 * =============
107 *
108 * CMAP_FOR_EACH_WITH_HASH will reliably visit each of the nodes with the
109 * specified hash in CMAP, even with concurrent insertions and deletions. (Of
110 * course, if nodes with the given HASH are being inserted or deleted, it might
111 * or might not visit the nodes actually being inserted or deleted.)
112 *
113 * CMAP_FOR_EACH_WITH_HASH_PROTECTED may only be used if CMAP is guaranteed not
114 * to change during iteration. It may be very slightly faster.

131 *
132 * Thread-safety
133 * =============
134 *
135 * Iteration is safe even in a cmap that is changing concurrently. However:
136 *
137 * - In the presence of concurrent calls to cmap_insert(), any given
138 * iteration might skip some nodes and might visit some nodes more than
139 * once. If this is a problem, then the iterating code should lock the
140 * data structure (a rwlock can be used to allow multiple threads to
141 * iterate in parallel).
142 *
143 * - Concurrent calls to cmap_remove() don't have the same problem. (A
144 * node being deleted may be visited once or not at all. Other nodes
145 * will be visited once.)
146 *
147 *
148 * Example
149 * =======
150 *
151 * struct my_node {
152 * struct cmap_node cmap_node;
153 * int extra_data;
154 * };
155 *
156 * struct cmap_cursor cursor;
157 * struct my_node *iter;
158 * struct cmap my_map;
159 *
160 * cmap_init(&cmap);
161 * ...add data...
162 * CMAP_FOR_EACH (my_node, cmap_node, &cursor, &cmap) {
163 * ...operate on my_node...
164 * }
165 *
166 * CMAP_FOR_EACH_SAFE variant is useful only in deallocation code already
167 * executing at postponed time, when it is known that the RCU grace period
168 * has already expired.
