  26. * If exchange is not implemented by a CAS loop, and exchange is faster
  27. than CAS, do an exchange.
  28. * If exchange is implemented by a CAS loop, use a weak CAS and not an
  29. exchange so we bail out after the first failed attempt to change the state.
  30. 3) If we expect contention to be likely:
  31. * If CAS always brings the cache line into an exclusive state even if the
  32. spinlock is already acquired, then load the value first with
  33. atomic_load_relaxed and test if lock is not acquired. Then do 2).

  35. 1) in the common case.
