1263Sigor@sysoev.ru  * Memory pool keeps track of all allocations so they can be freed at once
1363Sigor@sysoev.ru  * on pool destruction.  A memory pool is not thread safe, so only one thread
1463Sigor@sysoev.ru  * must work with the pool.  If an allocation should be passed to another
1563Sigor@sysoev.ru  * thread, it should be allocated with nxt_mp_retain() and then should be
1663Sigor@sysoev.ru  * freed with nxt_mp_release().  These functions updates pool retention
1763Sigor@sysoev.ru  * counter.  Memory pools decrease number of malloc() and free() calls and
1863Sigor@sysoev.ru  * thus reduces thread contention on locks in malloc library.  Memory pools
1963Sigor@sysoev.ru  * allow to make both freeable and non-freeable allocations.  The freeable
2063Sigor@sysoev.ru  * memory is allocated in fixed size chunks to decrease memory fragmentaiton
2163Sigor@sysoev.ru  * on reallocations.  The non-freeable memory is intended to allocate
2263Sigor@sysoev.ru  * structures and other items which should be available until memory pool
2363Sigor@sysoev.ru  * destruction.  Due to allocation strategy described in nxt_mp.c memory pools
2463Sigor@sysoev.ru  * may also improve data cache locality.
