+ * Dynamic queue limits (dql) - Definitions
+ *
+ * Copyright (c) 2011, Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com>
+ *
+ * This header file contains the definitions for dynamic queue limits (dql).
+ * dql would be used in conjunction with a producer/consumer type queue
+ * (possibly a HW queue). Such a queue would have these general properties:
+ *
+ * 1) Objects are queued up to some limit specified as number of objects.
+ * 2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
+ * objects.
+ * 3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
+ * actually been consumed, but completion processing has not yet run
+ * so queuing new data is blocked.
+ * 4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.
+ *
+ * The goal of dql is to calculate the limit as the minimum number of objects
+ * needed to prevent starvation.
+ *
+ * The primary functions of dql are:
+ * dql_queued - called when objects are enqueued to record number of objects
+ * dql_avail - returns how many objects are available to be queued based
+ * on the object limit and how many objects are already enqueued
+ * dql_completed - called at completion time to indicate how many objects
+ * were retired from the queue
+ *
+ * The dql implementation does not implement any locking for the dql data
+ * structures, the higher layer should provide this. dql_queued should
+ * be serialized to prevent concurrent execution of the function; this
+ * is also true for dql_completed. However, dql_queued and dlq_completed can
+ * be executed concurrently (i.e. they can be protected by different locks).
