/* Algorithm is not perfect, in a few corner cases it will fail to pop
 * from the flist although it isn't empty, and fail to push into the
 * flist, although it isn't full.
 *
 * We keep a fixed size array of entries, each item is either marked
 * UNUSED, USED or BUSY and contains a user data pointer. When pushing
 * into the queue we look for an UNUSED cell and mark it BUSY with a
 * CAS operation. If successful we use it and mark it USED, otherwise
 * we go on and look for the next UNUSED cell. The algorithm for
 * popping an item from the queue is practically inverse: look for a
 * USED cell and and mark it BUSY with a CAS operation, after reading
 * from it mark it UNUSED again.
 *
 * To accelerate finding of used/unused cells we maintain a read and a
 * write index which is used like a ring buffer. After each push we
 * increase the write index and after each pop we increase the read
 * index.
 *
 * The indexes are incremented atomically and are never truncated to
 * the buffer size. Instead we assume that the buffer size is a power
 * of two and that the truncation can thus be done by applying a
 * simple AND on read.
 *
 * To make sure that we do not look for empty cells indefinitely we
 * maintain a length value which stores the number of used cells. From
 * this value the number of unused cells is easily calculated. Please
 * note that the length value is not updated atomically with the read
 * and write index and might thus be a few cells off the real
 * value. To deal with this we always look for N_EXTRA_SCAN extra
 * cells when pushing/popping entries.
 *
 * It might make sense to replace this implementation with a link list
 * stack or queue, which however requires DCAS to be simple. Patches
 * welcome.
 *
 * Please note that this algorithm is home grown.*/
