/*
 * Kernel protection serializers: general purpose synchronization mechanism.
 *
 * Serializers provide a simple way to serialize access to some resource. They
 * can be used as an alternative to locks or STREAMS perimeters. They scale
 * much better than STREAMS outer serializers.
 *
 * Serializer is an abstraction that guarantees that all functions executed
 * within the serializer are serialized: they are executed in the order they
 * entered serializer one at a time.
 *
 * INTERFACES:
 *
 * serializer_t *serializer_create(flags);
 *
 *	Create a serializer. The flags may be either SER_SLEEP or SER_NOSLEEP
 *	which are the same as KM_SLEEP and KM_NOSLEEP respectively.
 *
 * serializer_enter(serializer, proc, mblk, arg);
 *
 *	Execute 'proc(mblk, arg)' within the serializer.
 *
 * serializer_wait(serializer);
 *
 *	Wait for pending serializer jobs to complete. This function should never
 *	be called within the serializer or it will deadlock.
 *
 * serializer_destroy(serializer);
 *
 *	Destroy serializer.
 *
 * Serializers export three DTrace SDT probes:
 *
 *	serializer-enqueue(serializer, mblk, arg, proc)
 *
 *		The probe triggers when serializer is busy and the request is
 *		queued.
 *
 *	serializer-exec-start(serializer, mblk, arg, proc)
 *
 *		The probe triggers before the request is executed
 *
 *	serializer-exec-end(serializer, mblk, arg, proc)
 *
 *		The probe triggers after the request is executed
 *
 *
 * IMPLEMENTATION.
 *
 * Serializer consists of a "owner" and a list of queued jobs. The first thread
 * entering serializer sets the owner and executes its job directly without
 * context switch. Then it processes jobs which may have been enqueued while it
 * was executing a job and drops the owner, leaving the serializer empty.  Any
 * thread entering an owned serializer enqueues its job and returns immediately.
 *
 * Serializer data structure holds several fields used for debugging only. They
 * are not relevant for the proper serializer functioning.
 *
 * When new requests arrive faster then they are processed it is possible that a
 * thread that started processing serializer will continue doing so for a long
 * time. To avoid such pathological behavior the amount of requests drained by
 * serializer_enter() is limited by `serializer_credit' value. After the credit
 * is expired serializer_enter() schedules a taskq request to continue draining.
 * The taskq thread draining is not limited by serializer_credit. Note that it
 * is possible that another serializer_enter() will drain the serializer before
 * a taskq thread will get to it.
