/* Concurrent Priority Vector
 * ==========================
 *
 * Concurrent priority vector holds non-NULL pointers to objects in an
 * increasing priority order and allows readers to traverse the vector without
 * being concerned about writers modifying the vector as they are traversing
 * it.
 *
 * The priority order is maintained as a linear vector of elements to allow
 * for efficient memory prefetching.
 *
 * Concurrency is implemented with OVS RCU so that the readers can assume
 * that once they have taken a pointer to the vector with
 * pvector_cursor_init(), the 'size' member will not decrease, so that
 * they can safely read 'size' entries from 'vector', and find that each
 * entry has a valid, non-NULL 'ptr', and the vector is in order from highest
 * to lowest 'priority'.  The 'priority' values can change any time, but only
 * so that the order of the entries does not change, so readers can use
 * 'priority' values read at any time after acquisition of the vector pointer.
 *
 * Writers can concurrently add entries to the end of the vector, incrementing
 * 'size', or update the 'priority' value of an entry, but only if that does
 * not change the ordering of the entries.  Writers will never change the 'ptr'
 * values, or decrement the 'size' on a copy that readers have access to.
 *
 * Most modifications are internally staged at the 'temp' vector, from which
 * they can be published at 'impl' by calling pvector_publish().  This saves
 * unnecessary memory allocations when many changes are done back-to-back.
 * 'temp' may contain NULL pointers and it may be in unsorted order.  It is
 * sorted before it is published at 'impl', which also removes the NULLs from
 * the published vector.

/* Iteration.
 *
 *
 * Thread-safety
 * =============
 *
 * Iteration is safe even in a pvector that is changing concurrently.
 * Multiple writers must exclude each other via e.g., a mutex.
 *
 * Example
 * =======
 *
 *     struct my_node {
 *         int data;
 *     };
 *
 *     struct my_node elem1, elem2, *iter;
 *     struct pvector my_pvector;
 *
 *     pvector_init(&my_pvector);
 *     ...add data...
 *     pvector_insert(&my_pvector, &elem1, 1);
 *     pvector_insert(&my_pvector, &elem2, 2);
 *     ...
 *     PVECTOR_FOR_EACH (iter, &my_pvector) {
 *         ...operate on '*iter'...
 *         ...elem2 to be seen before elem1...
 *     }
 *     ...
 *     pvector_destroy(&my_pvector);
 *
 * There is no PVECTOR_FOR_EACH_SAFE variant as iteration is performed on RCU
 * protected instance of the priority vector.  Any concurrent modifications
 * that would be disruptive for readers (such as deletions), will be performed
 * on a new instance.  To see any of the modifications, a new iteration loop
 * has to be started.
 *
 * The PVECTOR_FOR_EACH_PRIORITY limits the iteration to entries with higher
 * than or equal to the given priority and allows for object lookahead.
 *
 * The iteration loop must be completed without entering the OVS RCU quiescent
 * period.  That is, an old iteration loop must not be continued after any
 * blocking IO (VLOG is non-blocking, so that is OK).
