+/* Background I/O service for Redis.
+ *
+ * This file implements operations that we need to perform in the background.
+ * Currently there is only a single operation, that is a background close(2)
+ * system call. This is needed as when the process is the last owner of a
+ * reference to a file closing it means unlinking it, and the deletion of the
+ * file is slow, blocking the server.
+ *
+ * In the future we'll either continue implementing new things we need or
+ * we'll switch to libeio. However there are probably long term uses for this
+ * file as we may want to put here Redis specific background tasks (for instance
+ * it is not impossible that we'll need a non blocking FLUSHDB/FLUSHALL
+ * implementation).
+ *
+ * DESIGN
+ * ------
+ *
+ * The design is trivial, we have a structure representing a job to perform
+ * and a single thread performing all the I/O operations in the queue.
+ * Currently there is no way for the creator of the job to be notified about
+ * the completion of the operation, this will only be added when/if needed.
