300 * data due to changes by some thread concurrently modifying those
303 * - Prevent two threads making changes to members of a given "struct rule"
304 * from interfering with each other.
310 * A rule 'rule' may be accessed without a risk of being freed by a thread
311 * until the thread quiesces (i.e., rules are RCU protected and destructed
312 * using ovsrcu_postpone()). Code that needs to hold onto a rule for a
313 * while should increment 'rule->ref_count' either with ofproto_rule_ref()
314 * (if 'ofproto_mutex' is held), or with ofproto_rule_try_ref() (when some
315 * other thread might remove the rule from 'cls'). ofproto_rule_try_ref()
316 * will fail if the rule has already been scheduled for destruction.
318 * 'rule->ref_count' protects 'rule' from being freed. It doesn't protect the
319 * rule from being deleted from 'cls' (that's 'ofproto_mutex') and it doesn't
320 * protect members of 'rule' from modification (that's 'rule->mutex').
322 * 'rule->mutex' protects the members of 'rule' from modification. It doesn't
323 * protect the rule from being deleted from 'cls' (that's 'ofproto_mutex') and

594 * initializes derived state. It may refer to the already-initialized
595 * base state. If "construct" fails, skip to step 6.
597 * 4. The data structure is now initialized and in use.
599 * 5. When the data structure is no longer needed, the client calls the

606 * 7. The client calls the "dealloc" to free the raw memory. The

608 * structure, because it has already been uninitialized.
610 * Each "alloc" function allocates and returns a new instance of the respective
611 * data structure. The "alloc" function is not given any information about the
612 * use of the new data structure, so it cannot perform much initialization.
613 * Its purpose is just to ensure that the new data structure has enough room
614 * for base and derived state. It may return a null pointer if memory is not
615 * available, in which case none of the other functions is called.
617 * Each "construct" function initializes derived state in its respective data
618 * structure. When "construct" is called, all of the base state has already
619 * been initialized, so the "construct" function may refer to it. The
620 * "construct" function is allowed to fail, in which case the client calls the
621 * "dealloc" function (but not the "destruct" function).
623 * Each "destruct" function uninitializes and frees derived state in its
624 * respective data structure. When "destruct" is called, the base state has
625 * not yet been uninitialized, so the "destruct" function may refer to it. The
626 * "destruct" function is not allowed to fail.
628 * Each "dealloc" function frees raw memory that was allocated by the
629 * "alloc" function. The memory's base and derived members might not have ever
630 * been initialized (but if "construct" returned successfully, then it has been
631 * "destruct"ed already). The "dealloc" function is not allowed to fail.
637 * Most of these functions return 0 if they are successful or a positive error
638 * code on failure. Depending on the function, valid error codes are either
639 * errno values or OFPERR_* OpenFlow error codes.
641 * Most of these functions are expected to execute synchronously, that is, to
642 * block as necessary to obtain a result. Thus, these functions may return
643 * EAGAIN (or EWOULDBLOCK or EINPROGRESS) only where the function descriptions
644 * explicitly say those errors are a possibility. We may relax this

1135 * the flow from the underlying hardware. Deletion is not allowed
1142 * When ->rule_construct() is called, 'rule' is a new rule that is not yet
