// Simple spinlock. No backoff strategy, gpr_spinlock_lock is almost always
// a concurrency code smell. Code must _never_ block while holding a spinlock
// as this could lead to a deadlock under a cooperative multithreading model.
;
// Although the following code spins without any library or system calls, it
// still functions under cooperative multithreading. The principle is that
// the lock holder can't block, so it will be scheduled onto its system thread
// for the entire critical section. By the time another thread attempts a lock,
// it will either get it immediately or will be scheduled onto another system
// thread that is different from the current lockholder. There is no chance of
// waiting for a lockholder scheduled to the same system thread.
