55 *
56 * OVS_LOCKABLE indicates that the struct contains mutex element
57 * which can be locked by functions like ovs_mutex_lock().
58 *
59 * Below, the word MUTEX stands for the name of an object with an OVS_LOCKABLE
60 * struct type. It can also be a comma-separated list of multiple structs,
61 * e.g. to require a function to hold multiple locks while invoked.
62 *
63 *
64 * On a variable:
65 *
66 * - OVS_GUARDED indicates that the variable may only be accessed some mutex
67 * is held.
68 *
69 * - OVS_GUARDED_BY(MUTEX) indicates that the variable may only be accessed
70 * while the specific MUTEX is held.
71 *
72 *
73 * On a variable A of mutex type:
74 *
75 * - OVS_ACQ_BEFORE(B), where B is a mutex or a comma-separated list of
76 * mutexes, declare that if both A and B are acquired at the same time,
77 * then A must be acquired before B. That is, B nests inside A.
78 *
79 * - OVS_ACQ_AFTER(B) is the opposite of OVS_ACQ_BEFORE(B), that is, it
80 * declares that A nests inside B.
81 *
82 *
83 * On a function, the following attributes apply to mutexes:
84 *
85 * - OVS_ACQUIRES(MUTEX) indicate that the function must be called without
86 * holding MUTEX and that it returns holding MUTEX.
87 *
88 * - OVS_RELEASES(MUTEX) indicates that the function may only be called with
89 * MUTEX held and that it returns with MUTEX released. It can be used for
90 * all types of MUTEX.
91 *
92 * - OVS_TRY_LOCK(RETVAL, MUTEX) indicate that the function will try to
93 * acquire MUTEX. RETVAL is an integer or boolean value specifying the
94 * return value of a successful lock acquisition.
95 *
96 * - OVS_REQUIRES(MUTEX) indicate that the function may only be called with
97 * MUTEX held and that the function does not release MUTEX.
98 *
99 * - OVS_EXCLUDED(MUTEX) indicates that the function may only be called when
100 * MUTEX is not held.
101 *
102 *
103 * The following variants, with the same syntax, apply to reader-writer locks:
104 *
105 * mutex rwlock, for reading rwlock, for writing
106 * ------------------- ------------------- -------------------
107 * OVS_ACQUIRES OVS_ACQ_RDLOCK OVS_ACQ_WRLOCK
108 * OVS_RELEASES OVS_RELEASES OVS_RELEASES
109 * OVS_TRY_LOCK OVS_TRY_RDLOCK OVS_TRY_WRLOCK
110 * OVS_REQUIRES OVS_REQ_RDLOCK OVS_REQ_WRLOCK
111 * OVS_EXCLUDED OVS_EXCLUDED OVS_EXCLUDED

166 *
167 * OVS_PACKED_ENUM is intended for use only as a space optimization, since it
168 * only works with GCC. That means that it must not be used in wire protocols
169 * or otherwise exposed outside of a single process. */
