21  * DOC: Operating System Interface, Synchronization (osif_sync)
22  *
23  * osif_sync is a collection of APIs for synchronizing and safely interacting
24  * with external processes/threads via various operating system interfaces. It
25  * relies heavily on the Driver Synchronization Core, which defines the
26  * synchronization primitives and behavior.
27  *
28  * While DSC is great at doing the required synchronization, it (by design) does
29  * not address the gap between receiving a callback and involing the appropriate
30  * DSC protections. For example, given an input net_device pointer from the
31  * kernel, how does one safely acquire the appropriate DSC context? osif_sync
32  * implements this logic via wrapping DSC APIs with a registration mechanism.
33  *
34  * For example, after the creation of a new dsc_vdev context, osif_sync allows
35  * it to be registered with a specific net_device pointer as a key. Future
36  * operations against this net_device can use this pointer to atomically lookup
37  * the DSC context, and start either a DSC transition or DSC operation. If this
38  * is successful, the operation continues and is guaranteed protected from major
39  * state changes. Otherwise, the operation attempt is rejected.
