/*
* This structure represents the actual queue, stored in shared memory.
*
* Some notes on synchronization:
*
* mq_receiver and mq_bytes_read can only be changed by the receiver; and
* mq_sender and mq_bytes_written can only be changed by the sender.
* mq_receiver and mq_sender are protected by mq_mutex, although, importantly,
* they cannot change once set, and thus may be read without a lock once this
* is known to be the case.
*
* mq_bytes_read and mq_bytes_written are not protected by the mutex. Instead,
* they are written atomically using 8 byte loads and stores. Memory barriers
* must be carefully used to synchronize reads and writes of these values with
* reads and writes of the actual data in mq_ring.
*
* mq_detached needs no locking. It can be set by either the sender or the
* receiver, but only ever from false to true, so redundant writes don't
* matter. It is important that if we set mq_detached and then set the
* counterparty's latch, the counterparty must be certain to see the change
* after waking up. Since SetLatch begins with a memory barrier and ResetLatch
* ends with one, this should be OK.
*
* mq_ring_size and mq_ring_offset never change after initialization, and
* can therefore be read without the lock.
*
* Importantly, mq_ring can be safely read and written without a lock.
* At any given time, the difference between mq_bytes_read and
* mq_bytes_written defines the number of bytes within mq_ring that contain
* unread data, and mq_bytes_read defines the position where those bytes
* begin. The sender can increase the number of unread bytes at any time,
* but only the receiver can give license to overwrite those bytes, by
* incrementing mq_bytes_read. Therefore, it's safe for the receiver to read
* the unread bytes it knows to be present without the lock. Conversely,
* the sender can write to the unused portion of the ring buffer without
* the lock, because nobody else can be reading or writing those bytes. The
* receiver could be making more bytes unused by incrementing mq_bytes_read,
* but that's OK. Note that it would be unsafe for the receiver to read any
* data it's already marked as read, or to write any data; and it would be
* unsafe for the sender to reread any data after incrementing
* mq_bytes_written, but fortunately there's no need for any of that.

/*
* This structure is a backend-private handle for access to a queue.
*
* mqh_queue is a pointer to the queue we've attached, and mqh_segment is
* an optional pointer to the dynamic shared memory segment that contains it.
* (If mqh_segment is provided, we register an on_dsm_detach callback to
* make sure we detach from the queue before detaching from DSM.)
*
* If this queue is intended to connect the current process with a background
* worker that started it, the user can pass a pointer to the worker handle
* to shm_mq_attach(), and we'll store it in mqh_handle. The point of this
* is to allow us to begin sending to or receiving from that queue before the
* process we'll be communicating with has even been started. If it fails
* to start, the handle will allow us to notice that and fail cleanly, rather
* than waiting forever; see shm_mq_wait_internal. This is mostly useful in
* simple cases - e.g. where there are just 2 processes communicating; in
* more complex scenarios, every process may not have a BackgroundWorkerHandle
* available, or may need to watch for the failure of more than one other
* process at a time.
*
* When a message exists as a contiguous chunk of bytes in the queue - that is,
* it is smaller than the size of the ring buffer and does not wrap around
* the end - we return the message to the caller as a pointer into the buffer.
* For messages that are larger or happen to wrap, we reassemble the message
* locally by copying the chunks into a backend-local buffer. mqh_buffer is
* the buffer, and mqh_buflen is the number of bytes allocated for it.
*
* mqh_partial_bytes, mqh_expected_bytes, and mqh_length_word_complete
* are used to track the state of non-blocking operations. When the caller
* attempts a non-blocking operation that returns SHM_MQ_WOULD_BLOCK, they
* are expected to retry the call at a later time with the same argument;
* we need to retain enough state to pick up where we left off.
* mqh_length_word_complete tracks whether we are done sending or receiving
* (whichever we're doing) the entire length word. mqh_partial_bytes tracks
* the number of bytes read or written for either the length word or the
* message itself, and mqh_expected_bytes - which is used only for reads -
* tracks the expected total size of the payload.
*
* mqh_counterparty_attached tracks whether we know the counterparty to have
* attached to the queue at some previous point. This lets us avoid some
* mutex acquisitions.
*
* mqh_context is the memory context in effect at the time we attached to
* the shm_mq. The shm_mq_handle itself is allocated in this context, and
* we make sure any other allocations we do happen in this context as well,
* to avoid nasty surprises.
