32 * This structure defines a local rwlock, that supports several simultaneous read
33 * accesses, but only one write access. It implements a ticket based allocation policy.
34 * Both readers and writers must take a ticket before doing anything else, and access
35 * are done in same order as requests (for both read an write ).
36 * - A reader take the lock to atomically increments the registered readers count.
37 *   Then it release the lock and access the protected structure. It atomically decrement
38 *   the readers count without taking the lock when access is completed.
39 * - A writer take the lock and keep it, but must wait completion of all current read
40 *   accesses before starting its own access.
41 * As this local lock is only accessed by the local threads, if the lock is taken,
42 * the new-comers use a busy waiting policy with a delay between retry.
43 * TODO : Introduce the rwlocks in the list of locks taken by a given thread for debug.
