- * DOC: Operating System Interface, Synchronization (osif_sync)
- *
- * osif_sync is a collection of APIs for synchronizing and safely interacting
- * with external processes/threads via various operating system interfaces. It
- * relies heavily on the Driver Synchronization Core, which defines the
- * synchronization primitives and behavior.
- *
- * While DSC is great at doing the required synchronization, it (by design) does
- * not address the gap between receiving a callback and involing the appropriate
- * DSC protections. For example, given an input net_device pointer from the
- * kernel, how does one safely aquire the appropriate DSC context? osif_sync
- * implements this logic via wrapping DSC APIs with a registration mechanism.
- *
- * For example, after the creation of a new dsc_vdev context, osif_sync allows
- * it to be registered with a specific net_device pointer as a key. Future
- * operations against this net_device can use this pointer to atomically lookup
- * the DSC context, and start either a DSC transition or DSC operation. If this
- * is successful, the operation continues and is guaranteed protected from major
- * state changes. Otherwise, the operation attempt is rejected.
- *
