Oh dear, forgot this file in the turnstile commit. This header defines

the turnstile API and includes several comments.

+ * Turnstile interface.  Non-sleepable locks use a turnstile for the
+ * queue of threads blocked on them when they are contested.
+ *
+ * A thread calls turnstile_lookup() to look up the proper turnstile in
+ * the hash table.  This function returns a pointer to the turnstile and
+ * locks the associated turnstile chain.  A thread calls turnstile_wait()
+ * when the lock is contested to be put on the queue and block.  If a
+ * thread needs to retry a lock operation instead of blocking, it should
+ * call turnstile_release() to unlock the associated turnstile chain lock.
+ *
+ * When a lock is released, either turnstile_signal() or turnstile_wakeup()
+ * is called to mark blocked threads for a pending wakeup.
+ * turnstile_signal() marks the highest priority blocked thread while
+ * turnstile_wakeup() marks all blocked threads.  The turnstile_signal()
+ * function returns true if the turnstile became empty as a result.  After
+ * the higher level code finishes releasing the lock, turnstile_unpend()
+ * must be called to wakeup the pending thread(s).
+ *
+ * When a lock is acquired that already has at least one thread contested
+ * on it, the new owner of the lock must claim ownership of the turnstile
+ * via turnstile_claim().
+ *
+ * Each thread allocates a turnstile at thread creation time via
+ * turnstile_alloc() and frees it at thread destroy time via
+ * turnstile_free().
+ *
+ * A function can query a turnstile to see if it is empty via
+ * turnstile_empty().  The highest priority thread blocked on a turnstile
+ * can be obtained via turnstile_head().
