  31  * This futex wait/wake scheme only works for N wakers / 1 waiters. Hence the
  32  * "nto1" added to all function signature.
  33  *
  34  * Please see wait_gp()/update_counter_and_wait() calls in urcu.c in the urcu
  35  * git tree for a detail example of this scheme being used. futex_async() is
  36  * the urcu wrapper over the futex() sycall.

  38  * There is also a formal verification available in the git tree.
