 */

/*
 * Acquire an AioHandle, waiting for IO completion if necessary.
 *
 * Each backend can only have one AIO handle that has been "handed out" to
 * code, but not yet submitted or released. This restriction is necessary to
 * ensure that it is possible for code to wait for an unused handle by waiting
 * for in-flight IO to complete. There is a limited number of handles in each
 * backend, if multiple handles could be handed out without being submitted,
 * waiting for all in-flight IO to complete would not guarantee that handles
 * free up.
 *
 * It is cheap to acquire an IO handle, unless all handles are in use. In that
 * case this function waits for the oldest IO to complete. If that is not
 * desirable, use pgaio_io_acquire_nb().
 *
 * If a handle was acquired but then does not turn out to be needed,
 * e.g. because pgaio_io_acquire() is called before starting an IO in a
 * critical section, the handle needs to be released with pgaio_io_release().
 *
 *
 * To react to the completion of the IO as soon as it is known to have
 * completed, callbacks can be registered with pgaio_io_register_callbacks().
 *
 * To actually execute IO using the returned handle, the pgaio_io_prep_*()
 * family of functions is used. In many cases the pgaio_io_prep_*() call will
 * not be done directly by code that acquired the handle, but by lower level
 * code that gets passed the handle. E.g. if code in bufmgr.c wants to perform
 * AIO, it typically will pass the handle to smgr.c, which will pass it on to
 * md.c, on to fd.c, which then finally calls pgaio_io_prep_*().  This
 * forwarding allows the various layers to react to the IO's completion by
 * registering callbacks. These callbacks in turn can translate a lower
 * layer's result into a result understandable by a higher layer.
 *
 * During pgaio_io_prep_*() the IO is staged (i.e. prepared for execution but
 * not submitted to the kernel). Unless in batchmode
 * (c.f. pgaio_enter_batchmode()), the IO will also get submitted for
 * execution. Note that, whether in batchmode or not, the IO might even
 * complete before the functions return.
 *
 * After pgaio_io_prep_*() the AioHandle is "consumed" and may not be
 * referenced by the IO issuing code. To e.g. wait for IO, references to the
 * IO can be established with pgaio_io_get_wref() *before* pgaio_io_prep_*()
 * is called.  pgaio_wref_wait() can be used to wait for the IO to complete.
 *
 *
 * To know if the IO [partially] succeeded or failed, a PgAioReturn * can be
 * passed to pgaio_io_acquire(). Once the issuing backend has called
 * pgaio_wref_wait(), the PgAioReturn contains information about whether the
 * operation succeeded and details about the first failure, if any. The error
 * can be raised / logged with pgaio_result_report().
 *
 * The lifetime of the memory pointed to be *ret needs to be at least as long
 * as the passed in resowner. If the resowner releases resources before the IO
 * completes (typically due to an error), the reference to *ret will be
 * cleared. In case of resowner cleanup *ret will not be updated with the
 * results of the IO operation.

 * Submitting multiple IOs at once can be substantially faster than doing so

 *
 * Consider backend A staging an IO for buffer 1 and then trying to start IO
 * on buffer 2, while backend B does the inverse. If A submitted the IO before
 * moving on to buffer 2, this works just fine, B will wait for the IO to
 * complete. But if batching were used, each backend will wait for IO that has
 * not yet been submitted to complete, i.e. forever.
 *
 * End batch submission mode with pgaio_exit_batchmode().  (Throwing errors is
 * allowed; error recovery will end the batch.)
 *
 * To avoid deadlocks, code needs to ensure that it will not wait for another
 * backend while there is unsubmitted IO. E.g. by using conditional lock
 * acquisition when acquiring buffer locks. To check if there currently are
 * staged IOs, call pgaio_have_staged() and to submit all staged IOs call
 * pgaio_submit_staged().
 *
 * It is not allowed to enter batchmode while already in batchmode, it's
 * unlikely to ever be needed, as code needs to be explicitly aware of being
 * called in batchmode, to avoid the deadlock risks explained above.
 *
