/* Background I/O service for Redis.
 *
 * This file implements operations that we need to perform in the background.
 * Currently there are 3 operations:
 * 1) a background close(2) system call. This is needed when the process is
 *    the last owner of a reference to a file closing it means unlinking it, and
 *    the deletion of the file is slow, blocking the server.
 * 2) AOF fsync
 * 3) lazyfree of memory
 *
 * In the future we'll either continue implementing new things we need or
 * we'll switch to libeio. However there are probably long term uses for this
 * file as we may want to put Redis specific background tasks here.
 *
 * DESIGN
 * ------
 *
 * The design is simple: We have a structure representing a job to perform,
 * and several worker threads and job queues. Every job type is assigned to
 * a specific worker thread, and a single worker may handle several different
 * job types.
 * Every thread waits for new jobs in its queue, and processes every job
 * sequentially.
 *
 * Jobs handled by the same worker are guaranteed to be processed from the
 * least-recently-inserted to the most-recently-inserted (older jobs processed
 * first).
 *
 * To let the creator of the job to be notified about the completion of the 
 * operation, it will need to submit additional dummy job, coined as
 * completion job request that will be written back eventually, by the
 * background thread, into completion job response queue. This notification
 * layout can simplify flows that might submit more than one job, such as
 * in case of FLUSHALL which for a single command submits multiple jobs. It
 * is also correct because jobs are processed in FIFO fashion.
