spin-locks
spin-locks is a rust crate that provides a Intel hardware-optimized spin lock that uses Hardware Lock Elision (HLE) and a non-CAS based spin lock (an OR lock) as a fast fallback.
These locks do not provide a Mutex or a MutexGuard to automatically unlock on drop, as they do not protect a particular item of data. This is to make it easier to adapt these locks with the use of persistent memory, which is non-stack and non-heap allocated.
