/*
* An errseq_t is a way of recording errors in one place, and allowing any
* number of "subscribers" to tell whether it has changed since a previous
* point where it was sampled.
*
* It's implemented as an unsigned 32-bit value. The low order bits are
* designated to hold an error code (between 0 and -MAX_ERRNO). The upper bits
* are used as a counter. This is done with atomics instead of locking so that
* these functions can be called from any context.
*
* The general idea is for consumers to sample an errseq_t value. That value
* can later be used to tell whether any new errors have occurred since that
* sampling was done.
*
* Note that there is a risk of collisions if new errors are being recorded
* frequently, since we have so few bits to use as a counter.
*
* To mitigate this, one bit is used as a flag to tell whether the value has
* been sampled since a new value was recorded. That allows us to avoid bumping
* the counter if no one has sampled it since the last time an error was
* recorded.
*
* A new errseq_t should always be zeroed out. A errseq_t value of all zeroes
* is the special (but common) case where there has never been an error. An all
* zero value thus serves as the "epoch" if one wishes to know whether there
* has ever been an error set since it was first initialized.
