// The mwmr_channel.c and mwmr_channel.h files are part of the GIET nano-kernel.
// This  middleware implements a user level Multi-Writers / Multi-Readers
// communication channel, that can be used by parallel multi-tasks applications
// respecting the TCG (Tasks and Communications Graph) formalism.
// 
// The mwmr_read() and mwmr_write() functions do not require a system call.
// The channel must have been allocated in a non cacheable segment,
// if the platform does not provide hardware cache coherence.
//
// An MWMR transaction transfer an integer number of items, and an item is
// an integer number of unsigned int (32 bits words).
// The max number of words that can be stored in a MWMR channel is defined by the
// "depth" parameter, and the "width" parameter define the minimal number of
// word contained in an atomic item. Therefore, the "depth" parameter must be
// a multiple of the "width" parameter.
//
// Both the mwmr_read() and mwmr_write() functions are blocking functions. 
// A private file_lock provides exclusive access to the MWMR channel.
