     * *** Overview of Dual Queues with Slack ***
     *
     * Dual Queues, introduced by Scherer and Scott
     * (http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~scott/papers/2004_DISC_dual_DS.pdf)
     * are (linked) queues in which nodes may represent either data or
     * requests.  When a thread tries to enqueue a data node, but
     * encounters a request node, it instead "matches" and removes it;
     * and vice versa for enqueuing requests. Blocking Dual Queues
     * arrange that threads enqueuing unmatched requests block until
     * other threads provide the match. Dual Synchronous Queues (see
     * Scherer, Lea, & Scott
     * http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/scott/papers/2009_Scherer_CACM_SSQ.pdf)
     * additionally arrange that threads enqueuing unmatched data also
     * block.  Dual Transfer Queues support all of these modes, as
     * dictated by callers.
     *
     * A FIFO dual queue may be implemented using a variation of the
     * Michael & Scott (M&S) lock-free queue algorithm
     * (http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~scott/papers/1996_PODC_queues.pdf).
     * It maintains two pointer fields, "head", pointing to a
     * (matched) node that in turn points to the first actual
     * (unmatched) queue node (or null if empty); and "tail" that
     * points to the last node on the queue (or again null if
     * empty). For example, here is a possible queue with four data
     * elements:
     *
     *  head                tail
     *    |                   |
     *    v                   v
     *    M -> U -> U -> U -> U
     *
     * The M&S queue algorithm is known to be prone to scalability and
     * overhead limitations when maintaining (via CAS) these head and
     * tail pointers. This has led to the development of
     * contention-reducing variants such as elimination arrays (see
     * Moir et al http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1074013) and
     * optimistic back pointers (see Ladan-Mozes & Shavit
     * http://people.csail.mit.edu/edya/publications/OptimisticFIFOQueue-journal.pdf).
     * However, the nature of dual queues enables a simpler tactic for
     * improving M&S-style implementations when dual-ness is needed.
     *
     * In a dual queue, each node must atomically maintain its match
     * status. While there are other possible variants, we implement
     * this here as: for a data-mode node, matching entails CASing an
     * "item" field from a non-null data value to null upon match, and
     * vice-versa for request nodes, CASing from null to a data
     * value. (Note that the linearization properties of this style of
     * queue are easy to verify -- elements are made available by
     * linking, and unavailable by matching.) Compared to plain M&S
     * queues, this property of dual queues requires one additional
     * successful atomic operation per enq/deq pair. But it also
     * enables lower cost variants of queue maintenance mechanics. (A
     * variation of this idea applies even for non-dual queues that
     * support deletion of interior elements, such as
     * j.u.c.ConcurrentLinkedQueue.)
     *
     * Once a node is matched, its match status can never again
     * change.  We may thus arrange that the linked list of them
     * contain a prefix of zero or more matched nodes, followed by a
     * suffix of zero or more unmatched nodes. (Note that we allow
     * both the prefix and suffix to be zero length, which in turn
     * means that we do not use a dummy header.)  If we were not
     * concerned with either time or space efficiency, we could
     * correctly perform enqueue and dequeue operations by traversing
     * from a pointer to the initial node; CASing the item of the
     * first unmatched node on match and CASing the next field of the
     * trailing node on appends.  While this would be a terrible idea
     * in itself, it does have the benefit of not requiring ANY atomic
     * updates on head/tail fields.
     *
     * We introduce here an approach that lies between the extremes of
     * never versus always updating queue (head and tail) pointers.
     * This offers a tradeoff between sometimes requiring extra
     * traversal steps to locate the first and/or last unmatched
     * nodes, versus the reduced overhead and contention of fewer
     * updates to queue pointers. For example, a possible snapshot of
     * a queue is:
     *
     *  head           tail
     *    |              |
     *    v              v
     *    M -> M -> U -> U -> U -> U
     *
     * The best value for this "slack" (the targeted maximum distance
     * between the value of "head" and the first unmatched node, and
     * similarly for "tail") is an empirical matter. We have found
     * that using very small constants in the range of 1-3 work best
     * over a range of platforms. Larger values introduce increasing
     * costs of cache misses and risks of long traversal chains, while
     * smaller values increase CAS contention and overhead.
     *
     * Dual queues with slack differ from plain M&S dual queues by
     * virtue of only sometimes updating head or tail pointers when
     * matching, appending, or even traversing nodes; in order to
     * maintain a targeted slack.  The idea of "sometimes" may be
     * operationalized in several ways. The simplest is to use a
     * per-operation counter incremented on each traversal step, and
     * to try (via CAS) to update the associated queue pointer
     * whenever the count exceeds a threshold. Another, that requires
     * more overhead, is to use random number generators to update
     * with a given probability per traversal step.
     *
     * In any strategy along these lines, because CASes updating
     * fields may fail, the actual slack may exceed targeted slack.
     * However, they may be retried at any time to maintain targets.
     * Even when using very small slack values, this approach works
     * well for dual queues because it allows all operations up to the
     * point of matching or appending an item (hence potentially
     * allowing progress by another thread) to be read-only, thus not
     * introducing any further contention.  As described below, we
     * implement this by performing slack maintenance retries only
     * after these points.
     *
     * As an accompaniment to such techniques, traversal overhead can
     * be further reduced without increasing contention of head
     * pointer updates: Threads may sometimes shortcut the "next" link
     * path from the current "head" node to be closer to the currently
     * known first unmatched node, and similarly for tail. Again, this
     * may be triggered with using thresholds or randomization.
     *
     * These ideas must be further extended to avoid unbounded amounts
     * of costly-to-reclaim garbage caused by the sequential "next"
     * links of nodes starting at old forgotten head nodes: As first
     * described in detail by Boehm
     * (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=503272.503282), if a GC
     * delays noticing that any arbitrarily old node has become
     * garbage, all newer dead nodes will also be unreclaimed.
     * (Similar issues arise in non-GC environments.)  To cope with
     * this in our implementation, upon CASing to advance the head
     * pointer, we set the "next" link of the previous head to point
     * only to itself; thus limiting the length of chains of dead nodes.
     * (We also take similar care to wipe out possibly garbage
     * retaining values held in other Node fields.)  However, doing so
     * adds some further complexity to traversal: If any "next"
     * pointer links to itself, it indicates that the current thread
     * has lagged behind a head-update, and so the traversal must
     * continue from the "head".  Traversals trying to find the
     * current tail starting from "tail" may also encounter
     * self-links, in which case they also continue at "head".
     *
     * It is tempting in slack-based scheme to not even use CAS for
     * updates (similarly to Ladan-Mozes & Shavit). However, this
     * cannot be done for head updates under the above link-forgetting
     * mechanics because an update may leave head at a detached node.
     * And while direct writes are possible for tail updates, they
     * increase the risk of long retraversals, and hence long garbage
     * chains, which can be much more costly than is worthwhile
     * considering that the cost difference of performing a CAS vs
     * write is smaller when they are not triggered on each operation
     * (especially considering that writes and CASes equally require
     * additional GC bookkeeping ("write barriers") that are sometimes
     * more costly than the writes themselves because of contention).
     *
     * *** Overview of implementation ***
     *
     * We use a threshold-based approach to updates, with a slack
     * threshold of two -- that is, we update head/tail when the
     * current pointer appears to be two or more steps away from the
     * first/last node. The slack value is hard-wired: a path greater
     * than one is naturally implemented by checking equality of
     * traversal pointers except when the list has only one element,
     * in which case we keep slack threshold at one. Avoiding tracking
     * explicit counts across method calls slightly simplifies an
     * already-messy implementation. Using randomization would
     * probably work better if there were a low-quality dirt-cheap
     * per-thread one available, but even ThreadLocalRandom is too
     * heavy for these purposes.
     *
     * With such a small slack threshold value, it is not worthwhile
     * to augment this with path short-circuiting (i.e., unsplicing
     * interior nodes) except in the case of cancellation/removal (see
     * below).
     *
     * All enqueue/dequeue operations are handled by the single method
     * "xfer" with parameters indicating whether to act as some form
     * of offer, put, poll, take, or transfer (each possibly with
     * timeout). The relative complexity of using one monolithic
     * method outweighs the code bulk and maintenance problems of
     * using separate methods for each case.
     *
     * Operation consists of up to two phases. The first is implemented
     * in method xfer, the second in method awaitMatch.
     *
     * 1. Traverse until matching or appending (method xfer)
     *
     *    Conceptually, we simply traverse all nodes starting from head.
     *    If we encounter an unmatched node of opposite mode, we match
     *    it and return, also updating head (by at least 2 hops) to
     *    one past the matched node (or the node itself if it's the
     *    pinned trailing node).  Traversals also check for the
     *    possibility of falling off-list, in which case they restart.
     *
     *    If the trailing node of the list is reached, a match is not
     *    possible.  If this call was untimed poll or tryTransfer
     *    (argument "how" is NOW), return empty-handed immediately.
     *    Else a new node is CAS-appended.  On successful append, if
     *    this call was ASYNC (e.g. offer), an element was
     *    successfully added to the end of the queue and we return.
     *
     *    Of course, this naive traversal is O(n) when no match is
     *    possible.  We optimize the traversal by maintaining a tail
     *    pointer, which is expected to be "near" the end of the list.
     *    It is only safe to fast-forward to tail (in the presence of
     *    arbitrary concurrent changes) if it is pointing to a node of
     *    the same mode, even if it is dead (in this case no preceding
     *    node could still be matchable by this traversal).  If we
     *    need to restart due to falling off-list, we can again
     *    fast-forward to tail, but only if it has changed since the
     *    last traversal (else we might loop forever).  If tail cannot
     *    be used, traversal starts at head (but in this case we
     *    expect to be able to match near head).  As with head, we
     *    CAS-advance the tail pointer by at least two hops.
     *
     * 2. Await match or cancellation (method awaitMatch)
     *
     *    Wait for another thread to match node; instead cancelling if
     *    the current thread was interrupted or the wait timed out. On
     *    multiprocessors, we use front-of-queue spinning: If a node
     *    appears to be the first unmatched node in the queue, it
     *    spins a bit before blocking. In either case, before blocking
     *    it tries to unsplice any nodes between the current "head"
     *    and the first unmatched node.
     *
     *    Front-of-queue spinning vastly improves performance of
     *    heavily contended queues. And so long as it is relatively
     *    brief and "quiet", spinning does not much impact performance
     *    of less-contended queues.  During spins threads check their
     *    interrupt status and generate a thread-local random number
     *    to decide to occasionally perform a Thread.yield. While
     *    yield has underdefined specs, we assume that it might help,
     *    and will not hurt, in limiting impact of spinning on busy
     *    systems.  We also use smaller (1/2) spins for nodes that are
     *    not known to be front but whose predecessors have not
     *    blocked -- these "chained" spins avoid artifacts of
     *    front-of-queue rules which otherwise lead to alternating
     *    nodes spinning vs blocking. Further, front threads that
     *    represent phase changes (from data to request node or vice
     *    versa) compared to their predecessors receive additional
     *    chained spins, reflecting longer paths typically required to
     *    unblock threads during phase changes.
     *
     *
     * ** Unlinking removed interior nodes **
     *
     * In addition to minimizing garbage retention via self-linking
     * described above, we also unlink removed interior nodes. These
     * may arise due to timed out or interrupted waits, or calls to
     * remove(x) or Iterator.remove.  Normally, given a node that was
     * at one time known to be the predecessor of some node s that is
     * to be removed, we can unsplice s by CASing the next field of
     * its predecessor if it still points to s (otherwise s must
     * already have been removed or is now offlist). But there are two
     * situations in which we cannot guarantee to make node s
     * unreachable in this way: (1) If s is the trailing node of list
     * (i.e., with null next), then it is pinned as the target node
     * for appends, so can only be removed later after other nodes are
     * appended. (2) We cannot necessarily unlink s given a
     * predecessor node that is matched (including the case of being
     * cancelled): the predecessor may already be unspliced, in which
     * case some previous reachable node may still point to s.
     * (For further explanation see Herlihy & Shavit "The Art of
     * Multiprocessor Programming" chapter 9).  Although, in both
     * cases, we can rule out the need for further action if either s
     * or its predecessor are (or can be made to be) at, or fall off
     * from, the head of list.
     *
     * Without taking these into account, it would be possible for an
     * unbounded number of supposedly removed nodes to remain reachable.
     * Situations leading to such buildup are uncommon but can occur
     * in practice; for example when a series of short timed calls to
     * poll repeatedly time out at the trailing node but otherwise
     * never fall off the list because of an untimed call to take() at
     * the front of the queue.
     *
     * When these cases arise, rather than always retraversing the
     * entire list to find an actual predecessor to unlink (which
     * won't help for case (1) anyway), we record a conservative
     * estimate of possible unsplice failures (in "sweepVotes").
     * We trigger a full sweep when the estimate exceeds a threshold
     * ("SWEEP_THRESHOLD") indicating the maximum number of estimated
     * removal failures to tolerate before sweeping through, unlinking
     * cancelled nodes that were not unlinked upon initial removal.
     * We perform sweeps by the thread hitting threshold (rather than
     * background threads or by spreading work to other threads)
     * because in the main contexts in which removal occurs, the
     * caller is timed-out or cancelled, which are not time-critical
     * enough to warrant the overhead that alternatives would impose
     * on other threads.
     *
     * Because the sweepVotes estimate is conservative, and because
     * nodes become unlinked "naturally" as they fall off the head of
     * the queue, and because we allow votes to accumulate even while
     * sweeps are in progress, there are typically significantly fewer
     * such nodes than estimated.  Choice of a threshold value
     * balances the likelihood of wasted effort and contention, versus
     * providing a worst-case bound on retention of interior nodes in
     * quiescent queues. The value defined below was chosen
     * empirically to balance these under various timeout scenarios.
     *
     * Because traversal operations on the linked list of nodes are a
     * natural opportunity to sweep dead nodes, we generally do so,
     * including all the operations that might remove elements as they
     * traverse, such as removeIf and Iterator.remove.  This largely
     * eliminates long chains of dead interior nodes, except from
     * cancelled or timed out blocking operations.
     *
     * Note that we cannot self-link unlinked interior nodes during
     * sweeps. However, the associated garbage chains terminate when
     * some successor ultimately falls off the head of the list and is
     * self-linked.
