+/**
+ * Barriers
+ * This barrier implementation provides a simple synchronization method based
+ * on file-descriptors that can safely be used between threads and processes. A
+ * barrier object contains 2 shared counters based on eventfd. Both processes
+ * can now place barriers and wait for the other end to reach a random or
+ * specific barrier.
+ * Barriers are numbered, so you can either wait for the other end to reach any
+ * barrier or the last barrier that you placed. This way, you can use barriers
+ * for one-way *and* full synchronization. Note that even-though barriers are
+ * numbered, these numbers are internal and recycled once both sides reached the
+ * same barrier (implemented as a simple signed counter). It is thus not
+ * possible to address barriers by their ID.
+ *
+ * Barrier-API: Both ends can place as many barriers via barrier_place() as
+ * they want and each pair of barriers on both sides will be implicitly linked.
+ * Each side can use the barrier_wait/sync_*() family of calls to wait for the
+ * other side to place a specific barrier. barrier_wait_next() waits until the
+ * other side calls barrier_place(). No links between the barriers are
+ * considered and this simply serves as most basic asynchronous barrier.
+ * barrier_sync_next() is like barrier_wait_next() and waits for the other side
+ * to place their next barrier via barrier_place(). However, it only waits for
+ * barriers that are linked to a barrier we already placed. If the other side
+ * already placed more barriers than we did, barrier_sync_next() returns
+ * immediately.
+ * barrier_sync() extends barrier_sync_next() and waits until the other end
+ * placed as many barriers via barrier_place() as we did. If they already placed
+ * as many as we did (or more), it returns immediately.
+ *
+ * Additionally to basic barriers, an abortion event is available.
+ * barrier_abort() places an abortion event that cannot be undone. An abortion
+ * immediately cancels all placed barriers and replaces them. Any running and
+ * following wait/sync call besides barrier_wait_abortion() will immediately
+ * return false on both sides (otherwise, they always return true).
+ * barrier_abort() can be called multiple times on both ends and will be a
+ * no-op if already called on this side.
+ * barrier_wait_abortion() can be used to wait for the other side to call
+ * barrier_abort() and is the only wait/sync call that does not return
+ * immediately if we aborted outself. It only returns once the other side
+ * called barrier_abort().
+ *
+ * Barriers can be used for in-process and inter-process synchronization.
+ * However, for in-process synchronization you could just use mutexes.
+ * Therefore, main target is IPC and we require both sides to *not* share the FD
+ * table. If that's given, barriers provide target tracking: If the remote side
+ * exit()s, an abortion event is implicitly queued on the other side. This way,
+ * a sync/wait call will be woken up if the remote side crashed or exited
+ * unexpectedly. However, note that these abortion events are only queued if the
+ * barrier-queue has been drained. Therefore, it is safe to place a barrier and
+ * exit. The other side can safely wait on the barrier even though the exit
+ * queued an abortion event. Usually, the abortion event would overwrite the
+ * barrier, however, that's not true for exit-abortion events. Those are only
+ * queued if the barrier-queue is drained (thus, the receiving side has placed
+ * more barriers than the remote side).

+/**
+ * barrier_create() - Initialize a barrier object
+ * @obj: barrier to initialize
+ *
+ * This initializes a barrier object. The caller is responsible of allocating
+ * the memory and keeping it valid. The memory does not have to be zeroed
+ * beforehand.
+ * Two eventfd objects are allocated for each barrier. If allocation fails, an
+ * error is returned.
+ *
+ * If this function fails, the barrier is reset to an invalid state so it is
+ * safe to call barrier_destroy() on the object regardless whether the
+ * initialization succeeded or not.
+ *
+ * The caller is responsible to destroy the object via barrier_destroy() before
+ * releasing the underlying memory.

+         *

+         * qgroup, no operation is executed.

+         * function is invoked the subvolume will be accounted within

+         * will also get its own higher-level qgroup, which may in
+         * turn be used by subvolumes created beneath this subvolume
+         * later on.
+         *
+         * This hence defines a simple default qgroup setup for
+         * subvolumes, as long as this function is invoked on each
+         * created subvolume: each subvolume is always accounting
+         * together with its immediate parents. Optionally, if
