28 * If you are not an expert in concurrent lockless programming, you should
29 * only be using the atomic lock and reference counting functions in this
30 * file. In all other cases you should be protecting your data structures

42 * You can find out a little more about lockless programming and the
43 * subtle issues that can arise here:

46 * There's also lots of good information here:
47 * http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms
48 * http://preshing.com/
50 * These operations may or may not actually be implemented using
51 * processor specific atomic operations. When possible they are
52 * implemented as true processor specific atomic operations. When that
53 * is not possible the are implemented using locks that *do* use the
54 * available atomic operations.
56 * All of the atomic operations that modify memory are full memory barriers.

82 * The atomic locks are efficient spinlocks using CPU instructions,
83 * but are vulnerable to starvation and can spin forever if a thread
84 * holding a lock has been terminated. For this reason you should
85 * minimize the code executed inside an atomic lock and never do
86 * expensive things like API or system calls while holding them.
88 * The atomic locks are not safe to lock recursively.
91 * The spin lock functions and type are required and can not be
92 * emulated because they are used in the atomic emulation code.

126 * reads and writes to globally visible variables across the call.

140 * Memory barriers are designed to prevent reads and writes from being
141 * reordered by the compiler and being seen out of order on multi-core CPUs.
143 * A typical pattern would be for thread A to write some data and a flag,
144 * and for thread B to read the flag and get the data. In this case you
145 * would insert a release barrier between writing the data and the flag,
146 * guaranteeing that the data write completes no later than the flag is
147 * written, and you would insert an acquire barrier between reading the
148 * flag and reading the data, to ensure that all the reads associated
149 * with the flag have completed.
151 * In this pattern you should always see a release barrier paired with
152 * an acquire barrier and you should gate the data reads/writes with a
153 * single flag variable.
155 * For more information on these semantics, take a look at the blog post:
