+// Purpose
+//
+//   The purpose of this module is to provide access between the viewer
+//   and the asset system as regards to mesh objects.
+//
+//   * High-throughput download of mesh assets from servers while
+//     following best industry practices for network profile.
+//   * Reliable expensing and upload of new mesh assets.
+//   * Recovery and retry from errors when appropriate.
+//   * Decomposition of mesh assets for preview and uploads.
+//   * And most important:  all of the above without exposing the
+//     main thread to stalls due to deep processing or thread
+//     locking actions.  In particular, the following operations
+//     on LLMeshRepository are very averse to any stalls:
+//     * loadMesh
+//     * getMeshHeader (For structural details, see:
+//       http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/Mesh_Asset_Format)
+//     * notifyLoadedMeshes
+//     * getSkinInfo
+//
+// Threads
+//
+//   main     Main rendering thread, very sensitive to locking and other stalls
+//   repo     Overseeing worker thread associated with the LLMeshRepoThread class
+//   decom    Worker thread for mesh decomposition requests
+//   core     HTTP worker thread:  does the work but doesn't intrude here
+//   uploadN  0-N temporary mesh upload threads (0-1 in practice)
+//
+// Sequence of Operations
+//
+//   What follows is a description of the retrieval of one LOD for
+//   a new mesh object.  Work is performed by a series of short, quick
+//   actions distributed over a number of threads.  Each is meant
+//   to proceed without stalling and the whole forms a deep request
+//   pipeline to achieve throughput.  Ellipsis indicates a return
+//   or break in processing which is resumed elsewhere.

+//
+// Data Member Access/Locking
+//
+//   Description of how shared access to static and instance data
+//   members is performed.  Each member is followed by the name of
+//   the mutex, if any, covering the data and then a list of data
+//   access models each of which is a triplet of the following form:
+//
+//     {ro, wo, rw}.{main, repo, any}.{mutex, none}
+//     Type of access:  read-only, write-only, read-write.
+//     Accessing thread or 'any'
+//     Relevant mutex held during access (several may be held) or 'none'
+//
+//   A careful eye will notice some unsafe operations.  Many of these
+//   have an alibi of some form.  Several types of alibi are identified
+//   and listed here:
+//
+//     [0]  No alibi.  Probably unsafe.
+//     [1]  Single-writer, self-consistent readers.  Old data must
+//          be tolerated by any reader but data will come true eventually.
+//     [2]  Like [1] but provides a hint about thread state.  These
+//          may be unsafe.
+//     [3]  empty() check outside of lock.  Can me made safish when
+//          done in double-check lock style.  But this depends on
+//          std:: implementation and memory model.
+//     [4]  Appears to be covered by a mutex but doesn't need one.
+//     [5]  Read of a double-checked lock.
+//
+//   So, in addition to documentation, take this as a to-do/review
+//   list and see if you can improve things.  For porters to non-x86
+//   architectures, the weaker memory models will make these platforms
+//   probabilistically more susceptible to hitting race conditions.
+//   True here and in other multi-thread code such as texture fetching.

+//   make strong programmers.  Ref:  arm, ppc, mips, alpha)

+//   Debug variable 'MeshUploadFakeErrors' takes a mask of bits that will
+//   simulate an error on fee query or upload.  Defined bits are:
+//
+//   0x01            Simulate application error on fee check reading
+//                   response body from file "fake_upload_error.xml"
+//   0x02            Same as 0x01 but for actual upload attempt.
+//   0x04            Simulate a transport problem on fee check with a
+//                   locally-generated 500 status.
+//   0x08            As with 0x04 but for the upload operation.
+//
+//   For major changes, see the LL_MESH_FASTTIMER_ENABLE below and
+//   instructions for looking for frame stalls using fast timers.
+//
+// *TODO:  Work list for followup actions:
+//   * Review anything marked as unsafe above, verify if there are real issues.
+//   * See if we can put ::run() into a hard sleep.  May not actually perform better
+//     than the current scheme so be prepared for disappointment.  You'll likely
+//     need to introduce a condition variable class that references a mutex in
+//     methods rather than derives from mutex which isn't correct.
+//   * On upload failures, make more information available to the alerting
+//     dialog.  Get the structured information going into the log into a
+//     tree there.
+//   * Header parse failures come without much explanation.  Elaborate.
+//   * Work queue for uploads?  Any need for this or is the current scheme good
+//     enough?
+//   * Various temp buffers used in VFS I/O might be allocated once or even
+//     statically.  Look for some wins here.
+//   * Move data structures holding mesh data used by main thread into main-
+//     thread-only access so that no locking is needed.  May require duplication
+//     of some data so that worker thread has a minimal data set to guide
+//     operations.

+// these appear as ping-time or worse spikes in frame time.
