// Note [Reentrant backwards]
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// To understand the reentrant backwards problem, we have to notice two
// aspects of how the autograd engine is implemented today:
//
//  1. When you call Engine::execute(), you want to block until
//  differentiation finishes so that you can get the final result variables
//  of the backwards pass.
//
//  2. The engine operates by having a single worker thread per work queue,
//  and every work queue is pinned to a specific device where the
//  operation is executed.
//
// The problem is, suppose that you call backward() inside of a worker
// thread.  By property (1), we're supposed to block until the nested task
// finishes.  However, by property (2), this worker thread is on the
// hook for processing the tasks assigned to it; we better not block,
// because then all of our backward executions (including the one we
// just started) will deadlock!
//
// We maintain a pool of threads waiting for work to do
// When a reentrant backwards call occurs, the current thread blocks
// and a thread from the pool is woken up to complete the blocking tasks and an
// any other tasks that would have been assigned to that worker. If there are no
// threads available, a new thread is spawned. The new thread will continue
// processing tasks from the same ReadyQueue as the parent worker
//
// When the GraphTask is finished, the parent worker thread that is waiting on
// the task is notified and the current thread returns to the pool.

// Note [Streaming backwards]
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// On CUDA devices the autograd engine's device operations are run on the
// same stream that ran them in forward. This requires automatically
// syncing the streams so that function A finishes producing its
// output before function B consumes it.
//
// This synchronization occurs when outputs are placed into input buffers.
// The functions corresponding to input buffer positions have metadata
// recording their streams from forward, and during backward this
// data is used to sync the producer's stream with the consumer's.
//
// When a CUDA function is run either all its inputs were accumulated on the
// stream used to run the function OR the inputs are on different devices
// and the function is responsible for properly acquiring them.
//
// Historically, the autograd engine ran all CUDA operations on their
// device's DEFAULT stream. This meant that syncing (implicitly or
// explicitly) with the default streams was required before and after
// calling backward(). It also meant, however, that syncing with
// the default streams after backward() was sufficient to ensure
// that backward() had finished running. To preserve this historic
// behavior the engine records "leaf streams," the streams of the
// leaf variables, and syncs them with their device's default stream
// at the end of backward. All other streams are already synchronized
// to happen before at least one leaf stream (per the above), so syncing
// the leaf streams with the default streams is sufficient to implement
// the historic behavior.
