/*
* MCS lock defines
*
* This file contains the main data structure and API definitions of MCS lock.
*
* The MCS lock (proposed by Mellor-Crummey and Scott) is a simple spin-lock
* with the desirable properties of being fair, and with each cpu trying
* to acquire the lock spinning on a local variable.
* It avoids expensive cache bouncings that common test-and-set spin-lock
* implementations incur.
