// We have Nr elements to sort, at the beginning of an array of
// allocated size Na items.  Nr and Na are _not_ secret.  The strategy
// is to get the smallest (precomputed) WaksmanNetwork (on a random
// permutation) and WNEvalPlan, each of size Nw, where Nr <= Nw <= Na.
// Nw is also not secret.  Then mark the Nw-Nr items following the given
// elements as padding, use the WaksmanNetwork and WNEvalPlan to shuffle
// the Nw items, then non-obliviously sort the non-padding items.  The
// sort itself is done by making an index array holding just the sort
// keys and original indices into the array, but only of the non-padding
// items.  Sort the index array, and call back a std::function with the
// sorted index array and the shuffled array so that it can read out the
// elements in sorted order.  This function does not have to be
// oblivious to what elements it is reading, because they've already
// been obliviously shuffled.

// Precompute a WaksmanNetwork of size N for a random permutation.  This
// call does not itself use threads, but may be called from a background
// thread.  These are consumed as they are used, so you need to keep
// making more.

// Precompute a WNEvalPlan for a given size and number of threads.
// These are not consumed as they are used, so you only need to call
// this once for each size/nthreads you need.  The precomputation itself
// only uses a single thread, but also may be called from a background
// thread.
void sort_precompute_evalplan(uint32_t N, threadid_t nthreads);

// Perform the sort using up to nthreads threads.  The items to sort are
// byte arrays of size msg_size.  The key is the 10-bit storage server
// id contatenated with the 22-bit uid at the storage server.
