From: "Matthew R. Ochs" <mrochs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Presently, context information structures are allocated and initialized in the same routine, create_context(). This imposes an ordering restriction such that all pieces of information needed to initialize a context must be known before the context is even allocated. This design point is not flexible when the order of context creation needs to be modified. Specifically, this can lead to problems when members of the context information structure are a part of an ordering dependency (i.e. - the 'work' structure embedded within the context). To remedy, the allocation is left as-is, inside of the existing create_context() routine and the initialization is transitioned to a new void routine, init_context(). At the same time, in anticipation of these routines not being called in sequence, a state boolean is added to the context information structure to track when the context has been initilized. The context teardown routine, destroy_context(), is modified to support being called with a non-initialized context. Signed-off-by: Matthew R. Ochs <mrochs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
