27 /*! \file isc/task.h
28  * \brief The task system provides a lightweight execution context, which is
29  * basically an event queue.
30 
31  * When a task's event queue is non-empty, the
32  * task is runnable.  A small work crew of threads, typically one per CPU,
33  * execute runnable tasks by dispatching the events on the tasks' event
34  * queues.  Context switching between tasks is fast.
35  *
36  * \li MP:
37  *	The module ensures appropriate synchronization of data structures it
38  *	creates and manipulates.
39  *	The caller must ensure that isc_taskmgr_destroy() is called only
40  *	once for a given manager.
41  *
42  * \li Reliability:
43  *	No anticipated impact.
44  *
45  * \li Resources:
46  *	TBS
47  *
48  * \li Security:
49  *	No anticipated impact.
50  *
51  * \li Standards:
52  *	None.
53  *
54  * \section purge Purging and Unsending
55  *
56  * Events which have been queued for a task but not delivered may be removed
57  * from the task's event queue by purging or unsending.
58  *
59  * With both types, the caller specifies a matching pattern that selects
60  * events based upon their sender, type, and tag.
61  *
62  * Purging calls isc_event_free() on the matching events.
63  *
64  * Unsending returns a list of events that matched the pattern.
65  * The caller is then responsible for them.
66  *
67  * Consumers of events should purge, not unsend.
68  *
69  * Producers of events often want to remove events when the caller indicates
70  * it is no longer interested in the object, e.g. by canceling a timer.
71  * Sometimes this can be done by purging, but for some event types, the
72  * calls to isc_event_free() cause deadlock because the event free routine
73  * wants to acquire a lock the caller is already holding.  Unsending instead
74  * of purging solves this problem.  As a general rule, producers should only
75  * unsend events which they have sent.
