34  * The implementation is designed to avoid looping when compatible operations
35  * are executed.
36  *
37  * To acquire a spinlock we first increment counta.  Then we check if counta
38  * meets our requirements.  For an exclusive spinlock it must be 1, of a
39  * shared spinlock it must either be 1 or the SHARED_SPINLOCK bit must be set.
40  *
41  * Shared spinlock failure case: Decrement the count, loop until we can
42  * transition from 0 to SHARED_SPINLOCK|1, or until we find SHARED_SPINLOCK
43  * is set and increment the count.
44  *
45  * Exclusive spinlock failure case: While maintaining the count, clear the
46  * SHARED_SPINLOCK flag unconditionally.  Then use an atomic add to transfer
47  * the count from the low bits to the high bits of counta.  Then loop until
48  * all low bits are 0.  Once the low bits drop to 0 we can transfer the
49  * count back with an atomic_cmpset_int(), atomically, and return.
