+ * Write scheduling works by keeping track of lists of channels that can
+ * accept cells, and have cells to write. From the scheduler's perspective,
+ * a channel can be in four possible states:
+ *
+ * 1.) Not open for writes, no cells to send
+ * - Not much to do here, and the channel will appear in neither list.
+ * - Transitions from:
+ * - Open for writes/has cells by simultaneously draining all circuit
+ * queues and filling the output buffer.
+ * - Transitions to:
+ * - Not open for writes/has cells by arrival of cells on an attached
+ * circuit (this would be driven from append_cell_to_circuit_queue())
+ * - Open for writes/no cells by a channel type specific path;
+ * driven from connection_or_flushed_some() for channel_tls_t.
+ *
+ * 2.) Open for writes, no cells to send
+ * - Not much here either; this will be the state an idle but open channel
+ * can be expected to settle in.
+ * - Transitions from:
+ * - Not open for writes/no cells by flushing some of the output
+ * buffer.
+ * - Open for writes/has cells by the scheduler moving cells from
+ * circuit queues to channel output queue, but not having enough
+ * to fill the output queue.
+ * - Transitions to:
+ * - Open for writes/has cells by arrival of new cells on an attached
+ * circuit, in append_cell_to_circuit_queue()
+ *
+ * 3.) Not open for writes, cells to send
+ * - This is the state of a busy circuit limited by output bandwidth;
+ * cells have piled up in the circuit queues waiting to be relayed.
+ * - Transitions from:
+ * - Not open for writes/no cells by arrival of cells on an attached
+ * circuit
+ * - Open for writes/has cells by filling an output buffer without
+ * draining all cells from attached circuits
+ * - Transitions to:
+ * - Opens for writes/has cells by draining some of the output buffer
+ * via the connection_or_flushed_some() path (for channel_tls_t).
+ *
+ * 4.) Open for writes, cells to send
+ * - This connection is ready to relay some cells and waiting for
+ * the scheduler to choose it
+ * - Transitions from:
+ * - Not open for writes/has cells by the connection_or_flushed_some()
+ * path
+ * - Open for writes/no cells by the append_cell_to_circuit_queue()
+ * path
+ * - Transitions to:
+ * - Not open for writes/no cells by draining all circuit queues and
+ * simultaneously filling the output buffer.
+ * - Not open for writes/has cells by writing enough cells to fill the
+ * output buffer
+ * - Open for writes/no cells by draining all attached circuit queues
+ * without also filling the output buffer
+ *
+ * Other event-driven parts of the code move channels between these scheduling
+ * states by calling scheduler functions; the scheduler only runs on open-for-
+ * writes/has-cells channels and is the only path for those to transition to
+ * other states. The scheduler_run() function gives us the opportunity to do
+ * scheduling work, and is called from other scheduler functions whenever a
+ * state transition occurs, and periodically from the main event loop.

+ * We keep lists of channels that either have cells queued, can accept
+ * writes, or both (states 2, 3 and 4 above) - no explicit list of state
+ * 1 channels is kept, so we don't have to worry about registering new
+ * channels here or anything. The scheduler will learn about them when
+ * it needs to. We can check how many channels in state 4 in O(1), so
+ * the test whether we have anything to do in scheduler_run() is fast
+ * and there's no harm in calling it opportunistically whenever we get
+ * the chance.
+ *
+ * Note that it takes time O(n) to search for a channel in these smartlists
+ * or move one; I don't think the number of channels on a relay will be large
+ * enough for this to be a severe problem, but this would benefit from using
+ * a doubly-linked list rather than smartlist_t, together with a hash map from
+ * channel identifiers to pointers to list entries, so we can perform those
+ * operations in O(log(n)).
