+ *
+ * objpool is a scalable implementation of high performance queue for
+ * object allocation and reclamation, such as kretprobe instances.
+ *
+ * With leveraging percpu ring-array to mitigate hot spots of memory
+ * contention, it delivers near-linear scalability for high parallel
+ * scenarios. The objpool is best suited for the following cases:
+ * 1) Memory allocation or reclamation are prohibited or too expensive
+ * 2) Consumers are of different priorities, such as irqs and threads
+ *
+ * Limitations:
+ * 1) Maximum objects (capacity) is fixed after objpool creation
+ * 2) All pre-allocated objects are managed in percpu ring array,
+ *    which consumes more memory than linked lists
+ */

+ * @mask: bits mask for modulo capacity to compute array indexes
+ * @entries: object entries on this slot
+ *
+ * Represents a cpu-local array-based ring buffer, its size is specialized
+ * during initialization of object pool. The percpu objpool node is to be
+ * allocated from local memory for NUMA system, and to be kept compact in
+ * continuous memory: CPU assigned number of objects are stored just after
+ * the body of objpool_node.
+ *
+ * Real size of the ring array is far too smaller than the value range of
+ * head and tail, typed as uint32_t: [0, 2^32), so only lower bits (mask)
+ * of head and tail are used as the actual position in the ring array. In
