+ *
+ * The object pool is a scalable implementaion of high performance queue
+ * for objects allocation and reclamation, such as kretprobe instances.
+ *
+ * With leveraging per-cpu ring-array to mitigate the hot spots of memory
+ * contention, it could deliver near-linear scalability for high parallel
+ * cases. Meanwhile, it also achieves high throughput with benifiting from
+ * warmed cache on each core.
+ *
+ * The object pool are best suited for the following cases:
+ * 1) memory allocation or reclamation is prohibited or too expensive
+ * 2) the objects are allocated/used/reclaimed very frequently
+ *
+ * Before using, you must be aware of it's limitations:
+ * 1) Maximum number of objects is determined during pool initializing
+ * 2) The memory of objects won't be freed until the poll is de-allocated
+ * 3) Both allocation and reclamation could be nested
