<p>This mutex will block threads waiting for the lock to become available. The
mutex can be statically initialized or created by the <code>new</code>
constructor. Each mutex has a type parameter which represents the data that
it is protecting. The data can only be accessed through the RAII guards
returned from <code>lock</code> and <code>try_lock</code>, which guarantees that the data is only
ever accessed when the mutex is locked.</p>
<h2 id="fairness"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#fairness">§</a>Fairness</h2>
<p>A typical unfair lock can often end up in a situation where a single thread
quickly acquires and releases the same mutex in succession, which can starve
other threads waiting to acquire the mutex. While this improves throughput
because it doesnt force a context switch when a thread tries to re-acquire
a mutex it has just released, this can starve other threads.</p>
<p>This mutex uses <a href="https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/203350">eventual fairness</a>
to ensure that the lock will be fair on average without sacrificing
throughput. This is done by forcing a fair unlock on average every 0.5ms,
which will force the lock to go to the next thread waiting for the mutex.</p>
<p>Additionally, any critical section longer than 1ms will always use a fair
unlock, which has a negligible impact on throughput considering the length
of the critical section.</p>
<p>You can also force a fair unlock by calling <code>MutexGuard::unlock_fair</code> when
unlocking a mutex instead of simply dropping the <code>MutexGuard</code>.</p>
<h2 id="differences-from-the-standard-library-mutex"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#differences-from-the-standard-library-mutex">§</a>Differences from the standard library <code>Mutex</code></h2>
<ul>
<li>No poisoning, the lock is released normally on panic.</li>
<li>Only requires 1 byte of space, whereas the standard library boxes the
<code>Mutex</code> due to platform limitations.</li>
<li>Can be statically constructed.</li>
<li>Does not require any drop glue when dropped.</li>
<li>Inline fast path for the uncontended case.</li>
<li>Efficient handling of micro-contention using adaptive spinning.</li>
<li>Allows raw locking &amp; unlocking without a guard.</li>
<li>Supports eventual fairness so that the mutex is fair on average.</li>
<li>Optionally allows making the mutex fair by calling <code>MutexGuard::unlock_fair</code>.</li>
</ul>
