/*
* Only three distinct values are used for reclamation, but reclamation occurs
* at e+2 rather than e+1. Any thread in a "critical section" would have
* acquired some snapshot (e) of the global epoch value (e_g) and set an active
* flag. Any hazardous references will only occur after a full memory barrier.
* For example, assume an initial e_g value of 1, e value of 0 and active value
* of 0.
*
* ck_epoch_begin(...)
* e = e_g
* active = 1
* memory_barrier();
*
* Any serialized reads may observe e = 0 or e = 1 with active = 0, or e = 0 or
* e = 1 with active = 1. The e_g value can only go from 1 to 2 if every thread
* has already observed the value of "1" (or the value we are incrementing
* from). This guarantees us that for any given value e_g, any threads with-in
* critical sections (referred to as "active" threads from here on) would have
* an e value of e_g-1 or e_g. This also means that hazardous references may be
* shared in both e_g-1 and e_g even if they are logically deleted in e_g.
*
* For example, assume all threads have an e value of e_g. Another thread may
* increment to e_g to e_g+1. Older threads may have a reference to an object
* which is only deleted in e_g+1. It could be that reader threads are
* executing some hash table look-ups, while some other writer thread (which
* causes epoch counter tick) actually deletes the same items that reader
* threads are looking up (this writer thread having an e value of e_g+1).
* This is possible if the writer thread re-observes the epoch after the
* counter tick.
*
* Psuedo-code for writer:
* ck_epoch_begin()
* ht_delete(x)
* ck_epoch_end()
* ck_epoch_begin()
* ht_delete(x)
* ck_epoch_end()
*
* Psuedo-code for reader:
* for (;;) {
* x = ht_lookup(x)
* ck_pr_inc(&x->value);
* }
*
* Of course, it is also possible for references logically deleted at e_g-1 to
* still be accessed at e_g as threads are "active" at the same time
* (real-world time) mutating shared objects.
*
* Now, if the epoch counter is ticked to e_g+1, then no new hazardous
* references could exist to objects logically deleted at e_g-1. The reason for
* this is that at e_g+1, all epoch read-side critical sections started at
* e_g-1 must have been completed. If any epoch read-side critical sections at
* e_g-1 were still active, then we would never increment to e_g+1 (active != 0
* ^ e != e_g). Additionally, e_g may still have hazardous references to
* objects logically deleted at e_g-1 which means objects logically deleted at
* e_g-1 cannot be deleted at e_g+1 unless all threads have observed e_g+1
* (since it is valid for active threads to be at e_g and threads at e_g still
* require safe memory accesses).
*
* However, at e_g+2, all active threads must be either at e_g+1 or e_g+2.
* Though e_g+2 may share hazardous references with e_g+1, and e_g+1 shares
* hazardous references to e_g, no active threads are at e_g or e_g-1. This
* means no hazardous references could exist to objects deleted at e_g-1 (at
* e_g+2).
*
* To summarize these important points,
* 1) Active threads will always have a value of e_g or e_g-1.
* 2) Items that are logically deleted e_g or e_g-1 cannot be physically
* deleted.
* 3) Objects logically deleted at e_g-1 can be physically destroyed at e_g+2
* or at e_g+1 if no threads are at e_g.
*
* Last but not least, if we are at e_g+2, then no active thread is at e_g
* which means it is safe to apply modulo-3 arithmetic to e_g value in order to
* re-use e_g to represent the e_g+3 state. This means it is sufficient to
* represent e_g using only the values 0, 1 or 2. Every time a thread re-visits
* a e_g (which can be determined with a non-empty deferral list) it can assume
* objects in the e_g deferral list involved at least three e_g transitions and
* are thus, safe, for physical deletion.
*
* Blocking semantics for epoch reclamation have additional restrictions.
* Though we only require three deferral lists, reasonable blocking semantics
* must be able to more gracefully handle bursty write work-loads which could
* easily cause e_g wrap-around if modulo-3 arithmetic is used. This allows for
* easy-to-trigger live-lock situations. The work-around to this is to not
* apply modulo arithmetic to e_g but only to deferral list indexing.
