SVN rev 214872 on 2010-11-06 11:38:40Z by lstewart
MFC r207223:
- Rework the underlying ALQ storage to be a circular buffer, which amongst other
things allows variable length messages to be easily supported.
- Extend KPI with alq_writen() and alq_getn() to support variable length
messages, which is enabled at ALQ creation time depending on the arguments
passed to alq_open(). Also add variants of alq_open() and alq_post() that
accept a flags argument. The KPI is still fully backwards compatible and
shouldn't require any change in ALQ consumers unless they wish to utilise the
new features.
- Introduce the ALQ_NOACTIVATE and ALQ_ORDERED flags to allow ALQ consumers to
have more control over IO scheduling and resource acquisition respectively.
- Strengthen invariants checking.
- Document ALQ changes in ALQ(9) man page.
