+ * @defgroup PJ_IOQUEUE IOQueue: I/O Event Dispatching with Proactor Pattern
+ * @ingroup PJ_IO
+ * @{
+ *
+ * I/O Queue provides API for performing asynchronous I/O operations. It
+ * conforms to proactor pattern, which allows application to submit an
+ * asynchronous operation and to be notified later when the operation has
+ * completed.
+ *
+ * The I/O Queue can work on both socket and file descriptors. For
+ * asynchronous file operations however, one must make sure that the correct
+ * file I/O back-end is used, because not all file I/O back-end can be
+ * used with the ioqueue. Please see \ref PJ_FILE_IO for more details.
+ *
+ * The framework works natively in platforms where asynchronous operation API
+ * exists, such as in Windows NT with IoCompletionPort/IOCP. In other
+ * platforms, the I/O queue abstracts the operating system's event poll API
+ * to provide semantics similar to IoCompletionPort with minimal penalties
+ * (i.e. per ioqueue and per handle mutex protection).
+ *
+ * The I/O queue provides more than just unified abstraction. It also:
+ * - makes sure that the operation uses the most effective way to utilize
+ * the underlying mechanism, to achieve the maximum theoritical
+ * throughput possible on a given platform.
+ * - choose the most efficient mechanism for event polling on a given
+ * platform.
+ *
+ * Currently, the I/O Queue is implemented using:
+ * - <tt><b>select()</b></tt>, as the common denominator, but the least
+ * efficient. Also the number of descriptor is limited to
+ * \c PJ_IOQUEUE_MAX_HANDLES (which by default is 64).
+ * - <tt><b>/dev/epoll</b></tt> on Linux (user mode and kernel mode),
+ * a much faster replacement for select() on Linux (and more importantly
+ * doesn't have limitation on number of descriptors).
+ * - <b>I/O Completion ports</b> on Windows NT/2000/XP, which is the most
+ * efficient way to dispatch events in Windows NT based OSes, and most
+ * importantly, it doesn't have the limit on how many handles to monitor.
+ * And it works with files (not only sockets) as well.
+ *
+ *
+ * \section pj_ioqueue_concurrency_sec Concurrency Rules
+ *
+ * The ioqueue has been fine tuned to allow multiple threads to poll the
+ * handles simultaneously, to maximize scalability when the application is
+ * running on multiprocessor systems. When more than one threads are polling
+ * the ioqueue and there are more than one handles are signaled, more than
+ * one threads will execute the callback simultaneously to serve the events.
+ * These parallel executions are completely safe when the events happen for
+ * two different handles.
+ *
+ * However, with multithreading, care must be taken when multiple events
+ * happen on the same handle, or when event is happening on a handle (and
+ * the callback is being executed) and application is performing
+ * unregistration to the handle at the same time.
+ *
+ * The treatments of above scenario differ according to the concurrency
+ * setting that are applied to the handle.
+ *
+ * \subsection pj_ioq_concur_set Concurrency Settings for Handles
+ *
+ * Concurrency can be set on per handle (key) basis, by using
+ * #pj_ioqueue_set_concurrency() function. The default key concurrency value
+ * for the handle is inherited from the key concurrency setting of the ioqueue,
+ * and the key concurrency setting for the ioqueue can be changed by using
+ * #pj_ioqueue_set_default_concurrency(). The default key concurrency setting
+ * for ioqueue itself is controlled by compile time setting
+ * PJ_IOQUEUE_DEFAULT_ALLOW_CONCURRENCY.
+ *
+ * Note that this key concurrency setting only controls whether multiple
+ * threads are allowed to operate <b>on the same key</b> at the same time.
+ * The ioqueue itself always allows multiple threads to enter the ioqeuue at
+ * the same time, and also simultaneous callback calls to <b>differrent
+ * keys</b> is always allowed regardless to the key concurrency setting.
+ *
+ * \subsection pj_ioq_parallel Parallel Callback Executions for the Same Handle
+ *
+ * Note that when key concurrency is enabled (i.e. parallel callback calls on
+ * the same key is allowed; this is the default setting), the ioqueue will only
+ * perform simultaneous callback executions on the same key when the key has
+ * invoked multiple pending operations. This could be done for example by
+ * calling #pj_ioqueue_recvfrom() more than once on the same key, each with
+ * the same key but different operation key (pj_ioqueue_op_key_t). With this
+ * scenario, when multiple packets arrive on the key at the same time, more
+ * than one threads may execute the callback simultaneously, each with the
+ * same key but different operation key.
+ *
+ * When there is only one pending operation on the key (e.g. there is only one
+ * #pj_ioqueue_recvfrom() invoked on the key), then events occuring to the
+ * same key will be queued by the ioqueue, thus no simultaneous callback calls
+ * will be performed.
+ *
+ * \subsection pj_ioq_allow_concur Concurrency is Enabled (Default Value)
+ *
+ * The default setting for the ioqueue is to allow multiple threads to
+ * execute callbacks for the same handle/key. This setting is selected to
+ * promote good performance and scalability for application.
+ *
+ * However this setting has a major drawback with regard to synchronization,
+ * and application MUST carefully follow the following guidelines to ensure
+ * that parallel access to the key does not cause problems:
+ *
+ * - Always note that callback may be called simultaneously for the same
+ * key.
+ * - <b>Care must be taken when unregistering a key</b> from the
+ * ioqueue. Application must take care that when one thread is issuing
+ * an unregistration, other thread is not simultaneously invoking the
+ * callback <b>to the same key</b>.
+ *\n
+ * This happens because the ioqueue functions are working with a pointer
+ * to the key, and there is a possible race condition where the pointer
+ * has been rendered invalid by other threads before the ioqueue has a
+ * chance to acquire mutex on it.
+ *
+ * \subsection pj_ioq_disallow_concur Concurrency is Disabled
+ *
+ * Alternatively, application may disable key concurrency to make
+ * synchronization easier. As noted above, there are three ways to control
+ * key concurrency setting:
+ * - by controlling on per handle/key basis, with #pj_ioqueue_set_concurrency().
+ * - by changing default key concurrency setting on the ioqueue, with
+ * #pj_ioqueue_set_default_concurrency().
+ * - by changing the default concurrency on compile time, by declaring
+ * PJ_IOQUEUE_DEFAULT_ALLOW_CONCURRENCY macro to zero in your config_site.h
+ *
+ * \section pj_ioqeuue_examples_sec Examples
+ *
+ * For some examples on how to use the I/O Queue, please see:
+ *
+ * - \ref page_pjlib_ioqueue_tcp_test
