83 API provides a fast locked-bus-cycle-based serialization facility
84 that will serialize across blocking conditions.
85 It is very similar to a lock but much faster for the common case.
87 This API was initially designed to be a replacement for SPL calls, but
88 may be used whenever a low level exclusive lock (serialization) and/or
89 interrupt/device interaction is required.
90 Unlike tokens this serialization is not safe from deadlocks nor is it
91 recursive, and care must be taken when using it.
94 will not release a serializer that is being held.
96 There are two primary facilities \(em the serializer facility itself and
97 an integrated non-stackable interrupt handler disablement facility
100 .Fn lwkt_serialize_init ,
101 .Fn lwkt_serialize_enter
103 .Fn lwkt_serialize_exit
104 respectively initialize, hold and release the serializer
106 .Fn lwkt_serialize_try
107 is a non-blocking version of
108 .Fn lwkt_serialize_enter .
110 .Fn lwkt_serialize_adaptive_enter
111 is a special version of
112 .Fn lwkt_serialize_enter
113 which will try to spin a bit before the current thread is put to sleep
118 .Fn lwkt_serialize_adaptive_enter
119 favors spinning over sleeping.
120 This behavior can be changed by tuning the

142 will be passed to the handler.
