/*
* Memory pool keeps track of all allocations so they can be freed at once
* on pool destruction. A memory pool is not thread safe, so only one thread
* must work with the pool. If an allocation should be passed to another
* thread, it should be allocated with nxt_mp_retain() and then should be
* freed with nxt_mp_release(). These functions updates pool retention
* counter. Memory pools decrease number of malloc() and free() calls and
* thus reduces thread contention on locks in malloc library. Memory pools
* allow to make both freeable and non-freeable allocations. The freeable
* memory is allocated in fixed size chunks to decrease memory fragmentaiton
* on reallocations. The non-freeable memory is intended to allocate
* structures and other items which should be available until memory pool
* destruction. Due to allocation strategy described in nxt_mp.c memory pools
* may also improve data cache locality.
