/*
 * Core I/O Reactor Framework
 * ==========================
 *
 * Manages use of async network I/O which the QUIC stack is built on. The core
 * mechanic looks like this:
 *
 *   - There is a pollable FD for both the read and write side respectively.
 *     Readability and writeability of these FDs respectively determines when
 *     network I/O is available.
 *
 *   - The reactor can export these FDs to the user, as well as flags indicating
 *     whether the user should listen for readability, writeability, or neither.
 *
 *   - The reactor can export a timeout indication to the user, indicating when
 *     the reactor should be called (via libssl APIs) regardless of whether
 *     the network socket has become ready.
 *
 * The reactor is based around a tick callback which is essentially the mutator
 * function. The mutator attempts to do whatever it can, attempting to perform
 * network I/O to the extent currently feasible. When done, the mutator returns
 * information to the reactor indicating when it should be woken up again:
 *
 *   - Should it be woken up when network RX is possible?
 *   - Should it be woken up when network TX is possible?
 *   - Should it be woken up no later than some deadline X?
 *
 * The intention is that ALL I/O-related SSL_* functions with side effects (e.g.
 * SSL_read/SSL_write) consist of three phases:
 *
 *   - Optionally mutate the QUIC machine's state.
 *   - Optionally tick the QUIC reactor.
 *   - Optionally mutate the QUIC machine's state.
 *
 * For example, SSL_write is a mutation (appending to a stream buffer) followed
 * by an optional tick (generally expected as we may want to send the data
 * immediately, though not strictly needed if transmission is being deferred due
 * to Nagle's algorithm, etc.).
 *
 * SSL_read is also a mutation and in principle does not need to tick the
 * reactor, but it generally will anyway to ensure that the reactor is regularly
 * ticked by an application which is only reading and not writing.
 *
 * If the SSL object is being used in blocking mode, SSL_read may need to block
 * if no data is available yet, and SSL_write may need to block if buffers
 * are full.
 *
 * The internals of the QUIC I/O engine always use asynchronous I/O. If the
 * application desires blocking semantics, we handle this by adding a blocking
 * adaptation layer on top of our internal asynchronous I/O API as exposed by
 * the reactor interface.

 */

/*
 * ossl_quic_reactor_block_until_pred
 * ----------------------------------
 *
 * The core mechanism of the Blocking I/O Adaption Layer is block_until_pred(),
 * which does not return until pred() returns a value other than 0. The blocker
 * uses OS I/O synchronisation primitives (e.g. poll(2)) and ticks the reactor
 * until the predicate is satisfied. The blocker is not required to call pred()
 * more than once between tick calls.
 *
 * When pred returns a non-zero value, that value is returned by this function.
 * This can be used to allow pred() to indicate error conditions and short
 * circuit the blocking process.
 *
 * A return value of -1 is reserved for network polling errors. Therefore this
 * return value should not be used by pred() if ambiguity is not desired. Note
 * that the predicate function can always arrange its own output mechanism, for
 * example by passing a structure of its own as the argument.
 *
 * If the SKIP_FIRST_TICK flag is set, the first call to reactor_tick() before
 * the first call to pred() is skipped. This is useful if it is known that
 * ticking the reactor again will not be useful (e.g. because it has already
 * been done).
 *
 * This function assumes a write lock is held for the entire QUIC_CHANNEL. If
 * mutex is non-NULL, it must be a lock currently held for write; it will be
 * unlocked during any sleep, and then relocked for write afterwards.
 *
 * This function must not be called by a thread currently using
 * ossl_quic_reactor_(enter/leave)_blocking_section() as this function also uses
 * those functions (see below); it is assumed if a caller is using those
 * functions it is implementing blocking semantics itself. There is no need to
 * use those functions if using this function.
 *
 * Precondition:   If a reactor mutex is being used, it must be held (unchecked)
 * Postcondition:  If a reactor mutex is being used, it is held
 * Invariant:      The current thread does not have an outstanding
 *                   ossl_quic_reactor_enter_blocking_section() call (unchecked)

/*
 * ossl_quic_reactor_(enter/leave)_blocking_section
 * ------------------------------------------------
 *
 * This is used by blocking code outside of the reactor itself to inform the
 * reactor of when a thread begins or ends a blocking call. This is used by the
 * reactor so it knows if a tick means other threads might need to be woken up
 * via the notifier. The reactor mutex must be held while calling these
 * functions.
 *
 * An active registration is an enter call which has not yet been matched by a
 * subsequent deregister or leave call. A thread may have at most one active
 * registration for a given reactor; recursive registration will result in
 * deadlock. A thread which has deregistered may still wait for the notifier in
 * phase 2, but is no longer counted as an active registration.
 *
 * A thread with an active registration on any reactor must not tick a reactor.
 * A tick can block while notifying other registered threads, which would
 * prevent the ticking thread from deregistering and can result in deadlock.
 *
 * This means that if a caller has the concept of multiple concurrent blocking
 * calls on the same thread on the same reactor (which may occur in some
 * SSL_poll-related circumstances) it must do its own housekeeping to ensure it
 * only calls enter() once. See quic_reactor_wait_ctx.h for a utility which can
 * be used to accomplish this.
