/* NAME
/*	qmgr_feedback 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	delivery agent feedback management
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include "qmgr.h"
/*
/*	void	qmgr_feedback_init(fbck_ctl, name_prefix, name_tail,
/*					def_name, def_value)
/*	QMGR_FEEDBACK *fbck_ctl;
/*	const char *name_prefix;
/*	const char *name_tail;
/*	const char *def_name;
/*	const char *def_value;
/*
/*	double	QMGR_FEEDBACK_VAL(fbck_ctl, concurrency)
/*	QMGR_FEEDBACK *fbck_ctl;
/*	const int concurrency;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	Upon completion of a delivery request, a delivery agent
/*	provides a hint that the scheduler should dedicate fewer or
/*	more resources to a specific destination.
/*
/*	qmgr_feedback_init() looks up transport-dependent positive
/*	or negative concurrency feedback control information from
/*	main.cf, and converts it to internal form.
/*
/*	QMGR_FEEDBACK_VAL() computes a concurrency adjustment based
/*	on a preprocessed feedback control information and the
/*	current concurrency window. This is an "unsafe" macro that
/*	evaluates some arguments multiple times.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP fbck_ctl
/*	Pointer to QMGR_FEEDBACK structure where the result will
/*	be stored.
/* .IP name_prefix
/*	Mail delivery transport name, used as the initial portion
/*	of a transport-dependent concurrency feedback parameter
/*	name.
/* .IP name_tail
/*	The second, and fixed, portion of a transport-dependent
/*	concurrency feedback parameter.
/* .IP def_name
/*	The name of a default feedback parameter.
/* .IP def_val
/*	The value of the default feedback parameter.
/* .IP concurrency
/*	Delivery concurrency for concurrency-dependent feedback calculation.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Warning: configuration error or unreasonable input. The program
/*	uses name_tail feedback instead.
/*	Panic: consistency check failure.
/* LICENSE
