taskpool: Add taskpool API, switch Stasis to using it.
This change introduces a new API called taskpool. This is a pool of taskprocessors. It provides the following functionality: 1. Task pushing to a pool of taskprocessors 2. Synchronous tasks 3. Serializers for execution ordering of tasks 4. Growing/shrinking of number of taskprocessors in pool This functionality already exists through the combination of threadpool+taskprocessors but through investigating I determined that this carries substantial overhead for short to medium duration tasks. The threadpool uses a single queue of work, and for management of threads it involves additional tasks. I wrote taskpool to eliminate the extra overhead and management as much as possible. Instead of a single queue of work each taskprocessor has its own queue and at push time a selector chooses the taskprocessor to queue the task to. Each taskprocessor also has its own thread like normal. This spreads out the tasks immediately and reduces contention on shared resources. Using the included efficiency tests the number of tasks that can be executed per second in a taskpool is 6-12 times more than an equivalent threadpool+taskprocessor setup. Stasis has been moved over to using this new API as it is a heavy consumer of threadpool+taskprocessors and produces a lot of tasks. UpgradeNote: The threadpool_* options in stasis.conf have now been deprecated though they continue to be read and used. They have been replaced with taskpool options that give greater control over the underlying taskpool used for stasis. DeveloperNote: The taskpool API has been added for common usage of a pool of taskprocessors. It is suggested to use this API instead of the threadpool+taskprocessor approach.
