18  * N.B. You most likely do _not_ want to use SpinLock or any other
19  * kind of spinlock.  Use std::mutex instead.
20  *
21  * In short, spinlocks in preemptive multi-tasking operating systems
22  * have serious problems and fast mutexes like std::mutex are almost
23  * certainly the better choice, because letting the OS scheduler put a
24  * thread to sleep is better for system responsiveness and throughput
25  * than wasting a timeslice repeatedly querying a lock held by a
26  * thread that's blocked, and you can't prevent userspace
27  * programs blocking.
28  *
29  * Spinlocks in an operating system kernel make much more sense than
30  * they do in userspace.
