/*
* When some architecture-dependent atomic operations are available,
* rwlock can be more efficient than the generic algorithm defined below.
* The basic algorithm is described in the following URL:
*
* The key is to use the following integer variables modified atomically:
* write_requests, write_completions, and cnt_and_flag.
*
* write_requests and write_completions act as a waiting queue for writers
* in order to ensure the FIFO order. Both variables begin with the initial
* value of 0. When a new writer tries to get a write lock, it increments
* write_requests and gets the previous value of the variable as a "ticket".
* When write_completions reaches the ticket number, the new writer can start
* writing. When the writer completes its work, it increments
* write_completions so that another new writer can start working. If the
* write_requests is not equal to write_completions, it means a writer is now
* working or waiting. In this case, a new readers cannot start reading, or
* in other words, this algorithm basically prefers writers.
*
* cnt_and_flag is a "lock" shared by all readers and writers. This integer
* variable is a kind of structure with two members: writer_flag (1 bit) and
* reader_count (31 bits). The writer_flag shows whether a writer is working,
* and the reader_count shows the number of readers currently working or almost
* ready for working. A writer who has the current "ticket" tries to get the
* lock by exclusively setting the writer_flag to 1, provided that the whole
* 32-bit is 0 (meaning no readers or writers working). On the other hand,
* a new reader tries to increment the "reader_count" field provided that
* the writer_flag is 0 (meaning there is no writer working).
*
* If some of the above operations fail, the reader or the writer sleeps
* until the related condition changes. When a working reader or writer
* completes its work, some readers or writers are sleeping, and the condition
* that suspended the reader or writer has changed, it wakes up the sleeping
* readers or writers.
*
* As already noted, this algorithm basically prefers writers. In order to
* prevent readers from starving, however, the algorithm also introduces the
* "writer quota" (Q). When Q consecutive writers have completed their work,
* suspending readers, the last writer will wake up the readers, even if a new
* writer is waiting.
*
* Implementation specific note: due to the combination of atomic operations
* and a mutex lock, ordering between the atomic operation and locks can be
* very sensitive in some cases. In particular, it is generally very important
* to check the atomic variable that requires a reader or writer to sleep after
* locking the mutex and before actually sleeping; otherwise, it could be very
* likely to cause a deadlock. For example, assume "var" is a variable
* atomically modified, then the corresponding code would be:
* if (var == need_sleep) {
* LOCK(lock);
* if (var == need_sleep)
* WAIT(cond, lock);
* UNLOCK(lock);
* }
* The second check is important, since "var" is protected by the atomic
* operation, not by the mutex, and can be changed just before sleeping.
* (The first "if" could be omitted, but this is also important in order to
* make the code efficient by avoiding the use of the mutex unless it is
* really necessary.)

* counter; otherwise, the writer should be in
* the waiting queue, preventing the reader from
* proceeding to this point.
* (2) once the reader increments the counter, no
* more writer can get a lock.
* Still, it is possible another writer can work at
* this point, e.g. in the following scenario:
* A previous writer unlocks the writer lock.
* This reader proceeds to point (1).
* A new writer appears, and gets a new lock before
* the reader increments the counter.
* The reader then increments the counter.
* The previous writer notices there is a waiting
* reader who is almost ready, and wakes it up.
* So, the reader needs to confirm whether it can now
* read explicitly (thus we loop). Note that this is
