/* This test makes _tx_byte_pool_search walk a long chain of fragments, from
   more than one core at a time.

   The SMP version of that function carries two things its ThreadX counterpart
   does not, and neither was covered.

   The first is the block-search limit. Under TX_BYTE_POOL_MULTIPLE_BLOCK_SEARCH
   -- which this port's tx_user.h sets to 20 -- the search holds protection
   across at most twenty blocks and then deliberately drops and retakes it, so
   that a long search cannot lock the other cores out for the whole walk.
   Nothing in the suite ever made one search examine twenty blocks: every byte
   pool it builds has a handful of fragments at most. That is what this test
   fixes.

   Having dropped protection, the search then checks whether some other thread
   claimed the pool while it was let go, and if so spins for
   TX_BYTE_POOL_DELAY_VALUE iterations before taking ownership back and
   restarting the walk. That path this test does not reach, and the reason is a
   property of the port rather than of the test: the Linux SMP port serialises
   every core on one pthread mutex, and the window here is an unlock
   immediately followed by a lock on that mutex. A thread spinning for the
   protection on another core has to win that handoff, and glibc hands an
   uncontended mutex straight back to the thread that just released it.
   Measured: 180,003 windows over three cores, and the pool changed hands in
   none of them. So tx_byte_pool_search.c lines 283 to 301 stay uncovered on
   this port, and no number of iterations here will change that -- 250 is used
   below rather than the tens of thousands that were tried, because the twenty-
   block threshold above is crossed by the very first search and the rest buys
   nothing.

   The pool is therefore filled with small allocations until it refuses another
   one, and every second allocation is then released. That leaves upwards of
   twenty free fragments, each too small to satisfy the request and none of
   them adjacent to another, so the search can neither stop early nor merge its
   way out of the walk. Every request is expected to fail with TX_NO_MEMORY;
   the failure is the point, because a search that fails is a search that
   walked the whole pool.

   The layout is asserted rather than assumed. If a change to the pool
   arithmetic ever made the request satisfiable, or left fewer fragments than
   the twenty-block threshold needs, this test would still pass while quietly
   covering nothing -- so it checks the fragment count and checks that the
   request really does fail before the threads start.

   The three worker threads are deliberately not confined to a core, so that
   the walk really is driven from more than one core at a time.  */
