+/*
+ * About MCS locks:
+ *
+ * MCS locks are queue-based locks, where the queue nodes are local to the
+ * thread. The 'lock' is nothing more than a global pointer that points to
+ * the last node in the queue, or is NULL if the queue is empty.
+ *
+ * Originally designed for use as spin locks requiring no kernel resources
+ * for synchronisation or blocking, the implementation below has adapted
+ * the MCS spin lock for use as a general mutex that will suspend threads
+ * when there is lock contention.
+ *
+ * Because the queue nodes are thread-local, most of the memory read/write
+ * operations required to add or remove nodes from the queue do not trigger
+ * cache-coherence updates.
+ *
+ * Like 'named' mutexes, MCS locks consume system resources transiently -
+ * they are able to acquire and free resources automatically - but MCS
+ * locks do not require any unique 'name' to identify the lock to all
+ * threads using it.
+ *
+ * Usage of MCS locks:
+ *
+ * - you need a global ptw32_mcs_lock_t instance initialised to 0 or NULL.
+ * - you need a local thread-scope ptw32_mcs_local_node_t instance, which
+ * may serve several different locks but you need at least one node for
+ * every lock held concurrently by a thread.
+ *
+ * E.g.:
+ *
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_t lock1 = 0;
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_t lock2 = 0;
+ *
+ * void *mythread(void *arg)
+ * {
+ * ptw32_mcs_local_node_t node;
+ *
+ * ptw32_mcs_acquire (&lock1, &node);
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_release (&node);
+ *
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_acquire (&lock2, &node);
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_release (&node);
+ * {
+ * ptw32_mcs_local_node_t nodex;
+ *
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_acquire (&lock1, &node);
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_acquire (&lock2, &nodex);
+ *
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_release (&nodex);
+ * ptw32_mcs_lock_release (&node);
+ * }
+ * return (void *)0;
+ * }
