//! Invariants:
//! 1. The `next` field always points to a valid node, except in the tail node.
//! 2. The `next` field of the tail node must be null while the queue is unlocked.
//! 3. At least one node must contain a non-null, current `tail` field.
//! 4. The first non-null `tail` field must be valid and current.
//! 5. All nodes following this node must have a correct, non-null `prev` field.
//! 1. At least one node must contain a non-null, current `tail` field.
//! 2. The first non-null `tail` field must be valid and current.
//! 3. All nodes preceding this node must have a correct, non-null `next` field.
//! 4. All nodes following this node must have a correct, non-null `prev` field.
//!
//! While adding a new node to the queue may be done by any thread at any time,
//! removing nodes may only be done by a single thread. Instead of using a
//! separate lock bit for the queue like usync does, this implementation
//! only allows the (last) lock owner to modify the queue.
//! Access to the queue is controlled by the `QUEUE_LOCKED` bit, which threads
//! try to set both after enqueuing themselves to eagerly add backlinks to the
//! queue and after unlocking the lock to wake the next waiter(s). This is done
//! atomically at the same time as the enqueuing/unlocking operation. The thread
//! releasing the `QUEUE_LOCK` bit will check the state of the lock and wake up
//! waiters as appropriate. This guarantees forward-progress even if the unlocking
//! thread could not acquire the queue lock.
//!
//! ## Memory orderings
//!
//! To properly synchronize changes to the data protected by the lock, the lock
//! is acquired and released with [`Acquire`] and [`Release`] ordering, respectively.
//! To propagate the initialization of nodes, changes to the list are also propagated
//! using these orderings.
//! To propagate the initialization of nodes, changes to the queue lock are also
//! performed using these orderings.
