 * \page AstObj2 Object Model implementing objects and containers.

This module implements an abstraction for objects (with locks and
reference counts), and containers for these user-defined objects,
also supporting locking, reference counting and callbacks.

The internal implementation of objects and containers is opaque to the user,
so we can use different data structures as needs arise.

\section AstObj2_UsageObjects USAGE - OBJECTS

An ao2 object is a block of memory that the user code can access,
and for which the system keeps track (with a bit of help from the
programmer) of the number of references around.  When an object has
no more references (refcount == 0), it is destroyed, by first
invoking whatever 'destructor' function the programmer specifies
(it can be NULL if none is necessary), and then freeing the memory.
This way objects can be shared without worrying who is in charge
of freeing them.
As an additional feature, ao2 objects are associated to individual
locks.

Creating an object requires the size of the object and
a pointer to the destructor function:

    struct foo *o;

    o = ao2_alloc(sizeof(struct foo), my_destructor_fn);

The value returned points to the user-visible portion of the objects
(user-data), but is also used as an identifier for all object-related
operations such as refcount and lock manipulations.

On return from ao2_alloc():

 - the object has a refcount = 1;
 - the memory for the object is allocated dynamically and zeroed;
 - we cannot realloc() the object itself;
 - we cannot call free(o) to dispose of the object. Rather, we
   tell the system that we do not need the reference anymore:

    ao2_ref(o, -1)

  causing the destructor to be called (and then memory freed) when
  the refcount goes to 0.

ao2_ref(o, +1) can be used to modify the refcount on the
object in case we want to pass it around.

ao2_lock(obj), ao2_unlock(obj), ao2_trylock(obj) can be used
to manipulate the lock associated with the object.


\section AstObj2_UsageContainers USAGE - CONTAINERS

An ao2 container is an abstract data structure where we can store
ao2 objects, search them (hopefully in an efficient way), and iterate
or apply a callback function to them. A container is just an ao2 object
itself.

A container must first be allocated, specifying the initial
parameters. At the moment, this is done as follows:

    <b>Sample Usage:</b>
    \code

    struct ao2_container *c;

    c = ao2_container_alloc_hash(AO2_ALLOC_OPT_LOCK_MUTEX, 0, MAX_BUCKETS,
        my_hash_fn, NULL, my_cmp_fn);
    \endcode

where

- MAX_BUCKETS is the number of buckets in the hash table,
- my_hash_fn() is the (user-supplied) function that returns a
  hash key for the object (further reduced modulo MAX_BUCKETS
  by the container's code);
- my_cmp_fn() is the default comparison function used when doing
  searches on the container,

A container knows little or nothing about the objects it stores,
other than the fact that they have been created by ao2_alloc().
All knowledge of the (user-defined) internals of the objects
is left to the (user-supplied) functions passed as arguments
to ao2_container_alloc_hash().

If we want to insert an object in a container, we should
initialize its fields -- especially, those used by my_hash_fn() --
to compute the bucket to use.
Once done, we can link an object to a container with

    ao2_link(c, o);

The function returns NULL in case of errors (and the object
is not inserted in the container). Other values mean success
(we are not supposed to use the value as a pointer to anything).
Linking an object to a container increases its refcount by 1
automatically.

\note While an object o is in a container, we expect that
my_hash_fn(o) will always return the same value. The function
does not lock the object to be computed, so modifications of
those fields that affect the computation of the hash should
be done by extracting the object from the container, and
re-inserting it after the change (this is not terribly expensive).

\note A container with a single buckets is effectively a linked
list. However there is no ordering among elements.

\note DEBUGGING REF COUNTS BIBLE:
An interface to help debug refcounting is provided
in this package. It is dependent on the refdebug being enabled in
asterisk.conf.

Each of the reference manipulations will generate one line of output in the refs
log file. These lines look like this:

...

This uses a comma delineated format. The columns in the format are as
follows:
- The first column is the object address.
- The second column reflects how the operation affected the ref count
    for that object. A change in the ref count is reflected either as
    an increment (+) or decrement (-), as well as the amount it changed
    by.
- The third column is the ID of the thread that modified the reference
  count.
- The fourth column is the source file that the change in reference was
  issued from.
- The fifth column is the line number of the source file that the ref
  change was issued from.
- The sixth column is the name of the function that the ref change was
  issued from.
- The seventh column indicates either (a) construction of the object via
  the special tag **constructor**; (b) destruction of the object via
  the special tag **destructor**; (c) the previous reference count
  prior to this reference change.
- The eighth column is a special tag added by the developer to provide
  context for the ref change. Note that any subsequent columns are
  considered to be part of this tag.

Sometimes you have some helper functions to do object create/ref/unref
operations. Using these normally hides the place where these
functions were called. To get the location where these functions
were called to appear in refs log, you can do this sort of thing:

#define my_t_alloc(data,tag)  my_alloc_debug((data), tag, __FILE__, __LINE__, __PRETTY_FUNCTION__)
#define my_alloc(data)        my_t_alloc((data), NULL)

static struct mydata *my_alloc_debug(void *data,
	const char *tag, const char *file, int line, const char *func)
{
	struct mydata *p;

	p = __ao2_alloc(sizeof(*p), NULL, AO2_ALLOC_OPT_LOCK_MUTEX, tag, file, line, func);
	if (p) {
		p->data = data;
	}
	return p;
}

To find out why objects are not destroyed (a common bug), you can
enable refdebug in asterisk.conf.  Run asterisk, exit with "core stop gracefully".
This should result in every object being destroyed.

Then, you can "sort -k 1 {AST_LOG_DIR}/refs > x1" to get a sorted list of
all the objects, or you can use "contrib/script/refcounter.py" to scan
the file for you and output any problems it finds.

The above may seem astronomically more work than it is worth to debug
reference counts, which may be true in "simple" situations, but for
more complex situations, it is easily worth 100 times this effort to
help find problems.

To debug, pair all calls so that each call that increments the
refcount is paired with a corresponding call that decrements the
count for the same reason. Hopefully, you will be left with one
or more unpaired calls. This is where you start your search!

For instance, here is an example of this for a dialog object in
chan_sip, that was not getting destroyed, after I moved the lines around
to pair operations:

   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,5733,sip_alloc,**constructor**,(allocate a dialog(pvt) struct)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,19173,sip_poke_peer,4,(unref dialog at end of sip_poke_peer, obtained from sip_alloc, just before it goes out of scope)

   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,5854,sip_alloc,1,(link pvt into dialogs table)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,19150,sip_poke_peer,3,(About to change the callid -- remove the old name)
   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,19152,sip_poke_peer,2,(Linking in under new name)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,2399,dialog_unlink_all,5,(unlinking dialog via ao2_unlink)

   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,19130,sip_poke_peer,2,(copy sip alloc from p to peer->call)


   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,2996,__sip_reliable_xmit,3,(__sip_reliable_xmit: setting pkt->owner)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,2425,dialog_unlink_all,4,(remove all current packets in this dialog, and the pointer to the dialog too as part of __sip_destroy)

   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,22356,unload_module,4,(iterate thru dialogs)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,22359,unload_module,5,(toss dialog ptr from iterator_next)


   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,22373,unload_module,3,(iterate thru dialogs)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,22375,unload_module,2,(throw away iterator result)

   0x83787a0,+1,1234,chan_sip.c,2397,dialog_unlink_all,4,(Let's bump the count in the unlink so it doesn't accidentally become dead before we are done)
   0x83787a0,-1,1234,chan_sip.c,2436,dialog_unlink_all,3,(Let's unbump the count in the unlink so the poor pvt can disappear if it is time)

As you can see, only one unbalanced operation is in the list, a ref count increment when
the peer->call was set, but no corresponding decrement was made...

Hopefully this helps you narrow your search and find those bugs.

THE ART OF REFERENCE COUNTING
(by Steve Murphy)
SOME TIPS for complicated code, and ref counting:

1. Theoretically, passing a refcounted object pointer into a function
call is an act of copying the reference, and could be refcounted.
But, upon examination, this sort of refcounting will explode the amount
of code you have to enter, and for no tangible benefit, beyond
creating more possible failure points/bugs. It will even
complicate your code and make debugging harder, slow down your program
doing useless increments and decrements of the ref counts.

2. It is better to track places where a ref counted pointer
is copied into a structure or stored. Make sure to decrement the refcount
of any previous pointer that might have been there, if setting
this field might erase a previous pointer. ao2_find and iterate_next
internally increment the ref count when they return a pointer, so
you need to decrement the count before the pointer goes out of scope.

3. Any time you decrement a ref count, it may be possible that the
object will be destroyed (freed) immediately by that call. If you
are destroying a series of fields in a refcounted object, and
any of the unref calls might possibly result in immediate destruction,
you can first increment the count to prevent such behavior, then
after the last test, decrement the pointer to allow the object
to be destroyed, if the refcount would be zero.

Example:

	dialog_ref(dialog, "Let's bump the count in the unlink so it doesn't accidentally become dead before we are done");

	ao2_t_unlink(dialogs, dialog, "unlinking dialog via ao2_unlink");

	*//* Unlink us from the owner (channel) if we have one *//*
	if (dialog->owner) {
		if (lockowner) {
			ast_channel_lock(dialog->owner);
		}
		ast_debug(1, "Detaching from channel %s\n", dialog->owner->name);
		dialog->owner->tech_pvt = dialog_unref(dialog->owner->tech_pvt, "resetting channel dialog ptr in unlink_all");
		if (lockowner) {
			ast_channel_unlock(dialog->owner);
		}
	}
	if (dialog->registry) {
		if (dialog->registry->call == dialog) {
			dialog->registry->call = dialog_unref(dialog->registry->call, "nulling out the registry's call dialog field in unlink_all");
		}
		dialog->registry = registry_unref(dialog->registry, "delete dialog->registry");
	}
	...
 	dialog_unref(dialog, "Let's unbump the count in the unlink so the poor pvt can disappear if it is time");

In the above code, the ao2_t_unlink could end up destroying the dialog
object; if this happens, then the subsequent usages of the dialog
pointer could result in a core dump. So, we 'bump' the
count upwards before beginning, and then decrementing the count when
we are finished. This is analogous to 'locking' or 'protecting' operations
for a short while.

4. One of the most insidious problems I've run into when converting
code to do ref counted automatic destruction, is in the destruction
routines. Where a "destroy" routine had previously been called to
get rid of an object in non-refcounted code, the new regime demands
that you tear that "destroy" routine into two pieces, one that will
tear down the links and 'unref' them, and the other to actually free
and reset fields. A destroy routine that does any reference deletion
for its own object, will never be called. Another insidious problem
occurs in mutually referenced structures. As an example, a dialog contains
a pointer to a peer, and a peer contains a pointer to a dialog. Watch
out that the destruction of one doesn't depend on the destruction of the
other, as in this case a dependency loop will result in neither being
destroyed!

Given the above, you should be ready to do a good job!

 \page AstObj2_Containers AstObj2 Containers

Containers are data structures meant to store several objects,
and perform various operations on them.
Internally, objects are stored in lists, hash tables or other
data structures depending on the needs.

Operations on container include:

  -  \b ao2_find(c, arg, flags)
    returns zero or more elements matching a given criteria
    (specified as arg). 'c' is the container pointer. Flags
    can be:
    OBJ_UNLINK - to remove the object, once found, from the container.
    OBJ_NODATA - don't return the object if found (no ref count change)
    OBJ_MULTIPLE - don't stop at first match
    OBJ_SEARCH_OBJECT - if set, 'arg' is an object pointer, and a hash table
                  search will be done. If not, a traversal is done.
    OBJ_SEARCH_KEY - if set, 'arg', is a search key item that is not an object.
              Similar to OBJ_SEARCH_OBJECT and mutually exclusive.
    OBJ_SEARCH_PARTIAL_KEY - if set, 'arg', is a partial search key item that is not an object.
              Similar to OBJ_SEARCH_KEY and mutually exclusive.

  -  \b ao2_callback(c, flags, fn, arg)
    apply fn(obj, arg) to all objects in the container.
    Similar to find. fn() can tell when to stop, and
    do anything with the object including unlinking it.
      - c is the container;
      - flags can be
         OBJ_UNLINK   - to remove the object, once found, from the container.
         OBJ_NODATA   - don't return the object if found (no ref count change)
         OBJ_MULTIPLE - don't stop at first match
         OBJ_SEARCH_OBJECT - if set, 'arg' is an object pointer, and a hash table
                        search will be done. If not, a traversal is done through
                        all the hash table 'buckets'..
         OBJ_SEARCH_KEY - if set, 'arg', is a search key item that is not an object.
                        Similar to OBJ_SEARCH_OBJECT and mutually exclusive.
         OBJ_SEARCH_PARTIAL_KEY - if set, 'arg', is a partial search key item that is not an object.
                        Similar to OBJ_SEARCH_KEY and mutually exclusive.
      - fn is a func that returns int, and takes 3 args:
        (void *obj, void *arg, int flags);
          obj is an object
          arg is the same as arg passed into ao2_callback
          flags is the same as flags passed into ao2_callback
         fn returns:
           0: no match, keep going
           CMP_STOP: stop search, no match
           CMP_MATCH: This object is matched.

    Note that the entire operation is run with the container
    locked, so nobody else can change its content while we work on it.
    However, we pay this with the fact that doing
    anything blocking in the callback keeps the container
    blocked.
    The mechanism is very flexible because the callback function fn()
    can do basically anything e.g. counting, deleting records, etc.
    possibly using arg to store the results.

  -  \b iterate on a container
    this is done with the following sequence

\code

        struct ao2_container *c = ... // our container
        struct ao2_iterator i;
        void *o;

        i = ao2_iterator_init(c, flags);

        while ((o = ao2_iterator_next(&i))) {
            ... do something on o ...
            ao2_ref(o, -1);
        }

        ao2_iterator_destroy(&i);
\endcode

    The difference with the callback is that the control
    on how to iterate is left to us.

    - \b ao2_ref(c, -1)
    dropping a reference to a container destroys it, very simple!

Containers are ao2 objects themselves, and this is why their
implementation is simple too.

Before declaring containers, we need to declare the types of the
arguments passed to the constructor - in turn, this requires
to define callback and hash functions and their arguments.

/*! \brief
 * ao2_callback() is a generic function that applies cb_fn() to all objects
 * in a container, as described below.
 *
 * \param c A pointer to the container to operate on.
 * \param flags A set of flags specifying the operation to perform,
 *  partially used by the container code, but also passed to
 *  the callback.
 *   - If OBJ_NODATA is set, ao2_callback will return NULL. No refcounts
 *     of any of the traversed objects will be incremented.
 *     On the converse, if it is NOT set (the default), the ref count
 *     of the first matching object will be incremented and returned.
 *   - If OBJ_MULTIPLE is set, the ref count of all matching objects will
 *     be incremented in an iterator for a temporary container and returned.
 *   - If OBJ_SEARCH_OBJECT is set, the traversed items will be restricted
 *     to the objects in the bucket that the object key hashes to.
 *   - If OBJ_SEARCH_KEY is set, the traversed items will be restricted
 *     to the objects in the bucket that the object key hashes to.
 * \param cb_fn A function pointer, that will be called on all
 *  objects, to see if they match. This function returns CMP_MATCH
 *  if the object is matches the criteria; CMP_STOP if the traversal
 *  should immediately stop, or both (via bitwise ORing), if you find a
 *  match and want to end the traversal, and 0 if the object is not a match,
 *  but the traversal should continue. This is the function that is applied
 *  to each object traversed. Its arguments are:
 *      (void *obj, void *arg, int flags), where:
 *        obj is an object
 *        arg is the same as arg passed into ao2_callback
 *        flags is the same as flags passed into ao2_callback (flags are
 *         also used by ao2_callback).
 * \param arg passed to the callback.
 *
 * \retval NULL on failure or no matching object found.
 *
 * \return object found if OBJ_MULTIPLE is not set in the flags
 * parameter.
 *
 * \return ao2_iterator pointer if OBJ_MULTIPLE is set in the
 * flags parameter.  The iterator must be destroyed with
 * ao2_iterator_destroy() when the caller no longer needs it.
 *
 * If the function returns any objects, their refcount is incremented,
 * and the caller is in charge of decrementing them once done.
 *
 * Typically, ao2_callback() is used for two purposes:
 * - to perform some action (including removal from the container) on one
 *   or more objects; in this case, cb_fn() can modify the object itself,
 *   and to perform deletion should set CMP_MATCH on the matching objects,
 *   and have OBJ_UNLINK set in flags.
 * - to look for a specific object in a container; in this case, cb_fn()
 *   should not modify the object, but just return a combination of
 *   CMP_MATCH and CMP_STOP on the desired object.
 * Other usages are also possible, of course.
 *
 * This function searches through a container and performs operations
 * on objects according on flags passed.
 * XXX describe better
 * The comparison is done calling the compare function set implicitly.
 * The arg pointer can be a pointer to an object or to a key,
 * we can say this looking at flags value.
 * If arg points to an object we will search for the object pointed
 * by this value, otherwise we search for a key value.
 * If the key is not unique we only find the first matching value.
 *
 * The use of flags argument is the follow:
 *
 *      OBJ_UNLINK              unlinks the object found
 *      OBJ_NODATA              on match, do not return an object
 *                              Callbacks use OBJ_NODATA as a default
 *                              functions such as find() do
 *      OBJ_MULTIPLE            return multiple matches
 *                              Default is no.
 *      OBJ_SEARCH_OBJECT       the pointer is to an object
 *      OBJ_SEARCH_KEY          the pointer is to a search key
 *      OBJ_SEARCH_PARTIAL_KEY  the pointer is to a partial search key
 *
 * \note When the returned object is no longer in use, ao2_ref() should
 * be used to free the additional reference possibly created by this function.

/*! \brief
 *
 *
 * When we need to walk through a container, we use an
 * ao2_iterator to keep track of the current position.
 *
 * Because the navigation is typically done without holding the
 * lock on the container across the loop, objects can be
 * inserted or deleted or moved while we work.  As a
 * consequence, there is no guarantee that we manage to touch
 * all the elements in the container, and it is possible that we
 * touch the same object multiple times.
 *
 * An iterator must be first initialized with
 * ao2_iterator_init(), then we can use o = ao2_iterator_next()
 * to move from one element to the next.  Remember that the
 * object returned by ao2_iterator_next() has its refcount
 * incremented, and the reference must be explicitly released
 * when done with it.
 *
 * In addition, ao2_iterator_init() will hold a reference to the
 * container being iterated and the last container node found.
 * These objects will be unreffed when ao2_iterator_destroy() is
 * called to free up the resources used by the iterator (if
 * any).
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *  \code
 *
 *  struct ao2_container *c = ... // the container we want to iterate on
 *  struct ao2_iterator i;
 *  struct my_obj *o;
 *
 *  i = ao2_iterator_init(c, flags);
 *
 *  while ((o = ao2_iterator_next(&i))) {
 *     ... do something on o ...
 *     ao2_ref(o, -1);
 *  }
 *
 *  ao2_iterator_restart(&i);
 *  while ((o = ao2_iterator_next(&i))) {
 *     ... do something on o ...
 *     ao2_ref(o, -1);
 *  }
 *
 *  ao2_iterator_destroy(&i);
 *
 *  \endcode
