/**
 * An IOBuf is a pointer to a buffer of data.
 *
 * IOBuf objects are intended to be used primarily for networking code, and are
 * modelled somewhat after FreeBSD's mbuf data structure, and Linux's sk_buff
 * structure.
 *
 * IOBuf objects facilitate zero-copy network programming, by allowing multiple
 * IOBuf objects to point to the same underlying buffer of data, using a
 * reference count to track when the buffer is no longer needed and can be
 * freed.
 *
 *
 * Data Layout
 * -----------
 *
 * The IOBuf itself is a small object containing a pointer to the buffer and
 * information about which segment of the buffer contains valid data.
 *
 * The data layout looks like this:
 *
 *  +-------+
 *  | IOBuf |
 *  +-------+
 *   /
 *  |
 *  v
 *  +------------+--------------------+-----------+
 *  | headroom   |        data        |  tailroom |
 *  +------------+--------------------+-----------+
 *  ^            ^                    ^           ^
 *  buffer()   data()               tail()      bufferEnd()
 *
 *  The length() method returns the length of the valid data; capacity()
 *  returns the entire capacity of the buffer (from buffer() to bufferEnd()).
 *  The headroom() and tailroom() methods return the amount of unused capacity
 *  available before and after the data.
 *
 *
 * Buffer Sharing
 * --------------
 *
 * The buffer itself is reference counted, and multiple IOBuf objects may point
 * to the same buffer.  Each IOBuf may point to a different section of valid
 * data within the underlying buffer.  For example, if multiple protocol
 * requests are read from the network into a single buffer, a separate IOBuf
 * may be created for each request, all sharing the same underlying buffer.
 *
 * In other words, when multiple IOBufs share the same underlying buffer, the
 * data() and tail() methods on each IOBuf may point to a different segment of
 * the data.  However, the buffer() and bufferEnd() methods will point to the
 * same location for all IOBufs sharing the same underlying buffer.
 *
 *       +-----------+     +---------+
 *       |  IOBuf 1  |     | IOBuf 2 |
 *       +-----------+     +---------+
 *        |         | _____/        |
 *   data |    tail |/    data      | tail
 *        v         v               v
 *  +-------------------------------------+
 *  |     |         |               |     |
 *  +-------------------------------------+
 *
 * If you only read data from an IOBuf, you don't need to worry about other
 * IOBuf objects possibly sharing the same underlying buffer.  However, if you
 * ever write to the buffer you need to first ensure that no other IOBufs point
 * to the same buffer.  The unshare() method may be used to ensure that you
 * have an unshared buffer.
 *
 *
 * IOBuf Chains
 * ------------
 *
 * IOBuf objects also contain pointers to next and previous IOBuf objects.
 * This can be used to represent a single logical piece of data that its stored
 * in non-contiguous chunks in separate buffers.
 *
 * A single IOBuf object can only belong to one chain at a time.
 *
 * IOBuf chains are always circular.  The "prev" pointer in the head of the
 * chain points to the tail of the chain.  However, it is up to the user to
 * decide which IOBuf is the head.  Internally the IOBuf code does not care
 * which element is the head.
 *
 * The lifetime of all IOBufs in the chain are linked: when one element in the
 * chain is deleted, all other chained elements are also deleted.  Conceptually
 * it is simplest to treat this as if the head of the chain owns all other
 * IOBufs in the chain.  When you delete the head of the chain, it will delete
 * the other elements as well.  For this reason, prependChain() and
 * appendChain() take ownership of of the new elements being added to this
 * chain.
 *
 * When the coalesce() method is used to coalesce an entire IOBuf chain into a
 * single IOBuf, all other IOBufs in the chain are eliminated and automatically
 * deleted.  The unshare() method may coalesce the chain; if it does it will
 * similarly delete all IOBufs eliminated from the chain.
 *
 * As discussed in the following section, it is up to the user to maintain a
 * lock around the entire IOBuf chain if multiple threads need to access the
 * chain.  IOBuf does not provide any internal locking.
 *
 *
 * Synchronization
 * ---------------
 *
 * When used in multithread programs, a single IOBuf object should only be used
 * in a single thread at a time.  If a caller uses a single IOBuf across
 * multiple threads the caller is responsible for using an external lock to
 * synchronize access to the IOBuf.
 *
 * Two separate IOBuf objects may be accessed concurrently in separate threads
 * without locking, even if they point to the same underlying buffer.  The
 * buffer reference count is always accessed atomically, and no other
 * operations should affect other IOBufs that point to the same data segment.
 * The caller is responsible for using unshare() to ensure that the data buffer
 * is not shared by other IOBufs before writing to it, and this ensures that
 * the data itself is not modified in one thread while also being accessed from
 * another thread.
 *
 * For IOBuf chains, no two IOBufs in the same chain should be accessed
 * simultaneously in separate threads.  The caller must maintain a lock around
 * the entire chain if the chain, or individual IOBufs in the chain, may be
 * accessed by multiple threads.
 *
 *
 * IOBuf Object Allocation
 * -----------------------
 *
 * IOBuf objects themselves exist separately from the data buffer they point
 * to.  Therefore one must also consider how to allocate and manage the IOBuf
 * objects.
 *
 * It is more common to allocate IOBuf objects on the heap, using the create(),
 * takeOwnership(), or wrapBuffer() factory functions.  The clone()/cloneOne()
 * functions also return new heap-allocated IOBufs.  The createCombined()
 * function allocates the IOBuf object and data storage space together, in a
 * single memory allocation.  This can improve performance, particularly if you
 * know that the data buffer and the IOBuf itself will have similar lifetimes.
 *
 * That said, it is also possible to allocate IOBufs on the stack or inline
 * inside another object as well.  This is useful for cases where the IOBuf is
 * short-lived, or when the overhead of allocating the IOBuf on the heap is
 * undesirable.
 *
 * However, note that stack-allocated IOBufs may only be used as the head of a
 * chain (or standalone as the only IOBuf in a chain).  All non-head members of
 * an IOBuf chain must be heap allocated.  (All functions to add nodes to a
 * chain require a std::unique_ptr<IOBuf>, which enforces this requrement.)
 *
 * Copying IOBufs is only meaningful for the head of a chain. The entire chain
 * is cloned; the IOBufs will become shared, and the old and new IOBufs will
 * refer to the same underlying memory.
 *
 * IOBuf Sharing
 * -------------
 *
 * The IOBuf class manages sharing of the underlying buffer that it points to,
 * maintaining a reference count if multiple IOBufs are pointing at the same
 * buffer.
 *
 * However, it is the callers responsibility to manage sharing and ownership of
 * IOBuf objects themselves.  The IOBuf structure does not provide room for an
 * intrusive refcount on the IOBuf object itself, only the underlying data
 * buffer is reference counted.  If users want to share the same IOBuf object
 * between multiple parts of the code, they are responsible for managing this
 * sharing on their own.  (For example, by using a shared_ptr.  Alternatively,
 * users always have the option of using clone() to create a second IOBuf that
 * points to the same underlying buffer.)
