+/* Technical note:
+ *
+ * Possible states of a read/write lock:
+ *
+ *  - no readers and no writer (unlocked)
+ *  - one or more readers sharing the lock at the same time (read-locked)
+ *  - one writer holding the lock (write-lock)
+ *
+ * Additionally:
+ *  - trying to get the write-lock while there are any readers blocks
+ *  - trying to get the read-lock while there is a writer blocks
+ *  - a single thread can acquire the lock multiple times in the same mode
+ *
+ *  - Posix states that behavior is undefined it a thread tries to acquire
+ *    the lock in two distinct modes (e.g. write after read, or read after write).
+ *
+ *  - This implementation tries to avoid writer starvation by making the readers
+ *    block as soon as there is a waiting writer on the lock. However, it cannot
+ *    completely eliminate it: each time the lock is unlocked, all waiting threads
+ *    are woken and battle for it, which one gets it depends on the kernel scheduler
+ *    and is semi-random.
