/* Mapping tree locking strategy
 *
 * There are two goals for the mapping tree locking 
 * - protect the mapping tree structures 
 * - prevent stop or re-initialisation of a backend which is currently
 *   used by an LDAP operation
 * This must be done without preventing parallelisation of LDAP operations
 *
 * we use
 * - one RW lock will be used to protect access to mapping tree structures 
 *   accessed throuh mtn_lock(), mtn_unlock(), mtn_wlock()
 * - one RW lock for each backend. This lock is taken in READ for each
 *   LDAP operation in progree on the backend
 *   and is taken in write for administrative operations like stop or 
 *   disable the backend
 *   accessed through slapi_be_Rlock(), slapi_be_Wlock(), slapi_be_Unlock()
 * - a state flag for each backend : mtn_be_states[]
 *   this state is set to SLAPI_BE_STATE_DELETE or SLAPI_BE_STATE_OFFLINE at the beginning
 *   of stop/disable operation to ensure that no new operation starts 
 *   while the backend is stopped/disabled
 *
 * The algorithme for LDAP OPERATIONS is :
 *
 *      lock mapping tree in read mode 
 *      get backend    
 *      check that backend is not in SLAPI_BE_STATE_DELETE or SLAPI_BE_STATE_OFFLINE state
 *      lock backend in read mode
 *      unlock mapping tree 
 *      do LDAP operation
 *      release backend lock
 *
 * The algorithme for maintenance operation is 
 *      lock mapping tree in write mode
 *      set state to SLAPI_BE_STATE_DELETE or SLAPI_BE_STATE_OFFLINE
 *      unlock mapping tree
 *      get backend lock in write mode
 *      release backend lock

 * Arguments:
 * The root node of the mapping tree.
 *
 * Returns:
 * Nothing - it just prints warnings.  This should probably change.

 * Description:
 * The reason we have a mapping tree.  This function selects a backend or
 * referral to handle a given request.  Uses the target of the operation to
 * find a mapping tree node, then based on the operation type, bind dn, state
 * of the node, etc. it selects a backend or referral.
 * 
 * In this initial implementation of the mapping tree, each node can only have
 * one backend and one referral.  Later we should change this so each node has
 * a list of backends and a list of referrals.  Then we should add a modifier
 * to the state of the node.  For example, MTN_MODIFIER_ROUND_ROBIN could be a
 * modifer on the way a backend or referral is returned from the lists.
 *
 * Arguments:
 * pb is the pblock being used to service the operation.
 * be is an output param that will be set to the selected backend.
 * referral is an output param that will be set to the selected referral.
 * errorbuf is a pointer to a buffer that an error string will be written to
 *    if there is an error.  The caller is responsible for passing in a big 
 *    enough chunk of memory.  BUFSIZ should be fine.  If errorbuf is NULL, 
 *    no error string is written to it.  The string returned in errorbuf
 *    would be a good candidate for sending back to the client to describe the
 *    error.
 *
 * Returns:
 * LDAP_SUCCESS on success, other LDAP result codes if there is a problem.
