The ADB previously used separate reference counters for internal
and external references, plus additional counters for ABD find
and namehook objects, and used all these counters to coordinate
its shutdown process, which was a multi-stage affair involving
a sequence of control events.
It also used a complex interlocking set of static functions for
referencing, deferencing, linking, unlinking, and cleaning up various
internal objects; these functions returned boolean values to their
callers to indicate what additional processing was needed.
The changes in the previous two commits destabilized this fragile
system in a way that was difficult to recover from, so in this commit
we refactor all of it. The dns_adb and dns_adbentry objects now use
conventional attach and detach functions for reference counting, and
the shutdown process is much more straightforward. Instead of
handling shutdown asynchronously, we can just destroy the ADB when
references reach zero
In addition, ADB locking has been simplified. Instead of a
single `find_{name,entry}_and_lock()` function which searches for
a name or entry's hash bucket, locks it, and then searches for the
name or entry in the bucket, we now use one function to find the
bucket (leaving it to the caller to do the locking) and another
find the name or entry. Instead of locking the entire ADB when
modifying hash tables, we now use read-write locks around the
specific hash table. The only remaining need for adb->lock
is when modifying the `whenshutdown` list.
Comments throughout the module have been improved.
