+/*
+ * 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.
