- * \brief Allocate a talloc pool
- * \param context The talloc context to hang the result off
- * \param size Size of the talloc pool
- * \result The talloc pool
- * \ingroup talloc_basic
- *
- * A talloc pool is a pure optimization for specific situations. In the
- * release process for Samba 3.2 we found out that we had become considerably
- * slower than Samba 3.0 was. Profiling showed that malloc(3) was a large CPU
- * consumer in benchmarks. For Samba 3.2 we have internally converted many
- * static buffers to dynamically allocated ones, so malloc(3) being beaten
- * more was no surprise. But it made us slower.
- *
- * talloc_pool() is an optimization to call malloc(3) a lot less for the use
- * pattern Samba has: The SMB protocol is mainly a request/response protocol
- * where we have to allocate a certain amount of memory per request and free
- * that after the SMB reply is sent to the client.
- *
- * talloc_pool() creates a talloc chunk that you can use as a talloc parent
- * exactly as you would use any other ::TALLOC_CTX. The difference is that
- * when you talloc a child of this pool, no malloc(3) is done. Instead, talloc
- * just increments a pointer inside the talloc_pool. This also works
- * recursively. If you use the child of the talloc pool as a parent for
- * grand-children, their memory is also taken from the talloc pool.
- *
- * If you talloc_free() children of a talloc pool, the memory is not given
- * back to the system. Instead, free(3) is only called if the talloc_pool()
- * itself is released with talloc_free().
- *
- * The downside of a talloc pool is that if you talloc_move() a child of a
- * talloc pool to a talloc parent outside the pool, the whole pool memory is
- * not free(3)'ed until that moved chunk is also talloc_free()ed.
