Detailed Description

spin_lock provides a tiny mutual-exclusion primitive for short critical sections. It repeatedly attempts to acquire the lock until it succeeds.

Warning

Because this lock busy-waits, it should only be used for brief low-contention regions. It is not a replacement for heavier blocking mutexes when waiting may be prolonged.
