  14 * INTRODUCTION
  15 *
  16 *   The textsearch infrastructure provides text searching facitilies for
  17 *   both linear and non-linear data. Individual search algorithms are
  18 *   implemented in modules and chosen by the user.

  35 *     +----------------+      +---------------+
  36 *  
  37 *   (1) User configures a search by calling _prepare() specifying the
  38 *       search parameters such as the pattern and algorithm name.
  39 *   (2) Core requests the algorithm to allocate and initialize a search
  40 *       configuration according to the specified parameters.
  41 *   (3) User starts the search(es) by calling _find() or _next() to
  42 *       fetch subsequent occurrences. A state variable is provided
  43 *       to the algorithm to store persistent variables.
  44 *   (4) Core eventually resets the search offset and forwards the find()
  45 *       request to the algorithm.
  46 *   (5) Algorithm calls get_next_block() provided by the user continously
  47 *       to fetch the data to be searched in block by block.
  48 *   (6) Algorithm invokes finish() after the last call to get_next_block
  49 *       to clean up any leftovers from get_next_block. (Optional)
  50 *   (7) User destroys the configuration by calling _destroy().
  51 *   (8) Core notifies the algorithm to destroy algorithm specific
  52 *       allocations. (Optional)
  53 *
  54 * USAGE
  55 *
  56 *   Before a search can be performed, a configuration must be created
  57 *   by calling textsearch_prepare() specyfing the searching algorithm and
  58 *   the pattern to look for. The returned configuration may then be used
  59 *   for an arbitary amount of times and even in parallel as long as a
  60 *   separate struct ts_state variable is provided to every instance.
  61 *
  62 *   The actual search is performed by either calling textsearch_find_-
  63 *   continuous() for linear data or by providing an own get_next_block()
  64 *   implementation and calling textsearch_find(). Both functions return
  65 *   the position of the first occurrence of the patern or UINT_MAX if
  66 *   no match was found. Subsequent occurences can be found by calling
  67 *   textsearch_next() regardless of the linearity of the data.
  68 *
  69 *   Once you're done using a configuration it must be given back via
  70 *   textsearch_destroy.
  71 *
  72 * EXAMPLE
  73 *
  74 *   int pos;
  75 *   struct ts_config *conf;
  76 *   struct ts_state state;
  77 *   const char *pattern = "chicken";
  78 *   const char *example = "We dance the funky chicken";
  79 *
  80 *   conf = textsearch_prepare("kmp", pattern, strlen(pattern),
  81 *                             GFP_KERNEL, TS_AUTOLOAD);
  82 *   if (IS_ERR(conf)) {
  83 *       err = PTR_ERR(conf);
  84 *       goto errout;
  85 *   }
  86 *
  87 *   pos = textsearch_find_continuous(conf, &state, example, strlen(example));
  88 *   if (pos != UINT_MAX)
  89 *       panic("Oh my god, dancing chickens at %d\n", pos);
  90 *
  91 *   textsearch_destroy(conf);
