-  concurrent allocator based on pinning addresses

-  strictly speaking it's not lock-free, as it can be blocked
-  if a thread's purgatory is full and all addresses from there
-  are pinned.
-
-  But until the above happens, it's wait-free.
-
-  It can be made strictly wait-free by increasing purgatory size.
-  If it's larger than pins_in_stack*LF_PINBOX_PINS, then apocalyptical
-  condition above will never happen. But than the memory requirements
-  will be O(pins_in_stack^2).
-
-  Note, that for large purgatory sizes it makes sense to remove
-  purgatory array, and link objects in a list using embedded pointer.

+  Generic Lock Manager
+
+  Lock manager handles locks on "resources", a resource must be uniquely
+  identified by a 64-bit number. Lock manager itself does not imply
+  anything about the nature of a resource - it can be a row, a table, a
+  database, or just anything.
+
+  Locks belong to "lock owners". A Lock owner is uniquely identified by a
+  16-bit number. A function loid2lo must be provided by the application
+  that takes such a number as an argument and returns a LOCK_OWNER
+  structure.
+
+  Lock levels are completely defined by three tables. Lock compatibility
+  matrix specifies which locks can be held at the same time on a resource.
+  Lock combining matrix specifies what lock level has the same behaviour as
+  a pair of two locks of given levels. getlock_result matrix simplifies
+  intention locking and lock escalation for an application, basically it
+  defines which locks are intention locks and which locks are "loose"
+  locks.  It is only used to provide better diagnostics for the
+  application, lock manager itself does not differentiate between normal,
+  intention, and loose locks.
+
+  Internally lock manager is based on a lock-free hash, see lf_hash.c for
+  details.  All locks are stored in a hash, with a resource id as a search
+  key, so all locks for the same resource will be considered collisions and
+  will be put in a one (lock-free) linked list.  The main lock-handling
+  logic is in the inner loop that searches for a lock in such a linked
+  list - lockfind().
+
+  This works as follows. Locks generally are added to the end of the list
+  (with one exception, see below). When scanning the list it is always
+  possible to determine what locks are granted (active) and what locks are
+  waiting - first lock is obviously active, the second is active if it's
+  compatible with the first, and so on, a lock is active if it's compatible
+  with all previous locks and all locks before it are also active.
+  To calculate the "compatible with all previous locks" all locks are
+  accumulated in prev_lock variable using lock_combining_matrix.
+
+  Lock upgrades: when a thread that has a lock on a given resource,
+  requests a new lock on the same resource and the old lock is not enough
+  to satisfy new lock requirements (which is defined by
+  lock_combining_matrix[old_lock][new_lock] != old_lock), a new lock is
+  placed in the list. Depending on other locks it is immediately active or
+  it will wait for other locks. Here's an exception to "locks are added
+  to the end" rule - upgraded locks are added after the last active lock
+  but before all waiting locks. Old lock (the one we upgraded from) is
+  not removed from the list, indeed we may need to return to it later if
+  the new lock was in a savepoint that gets rolled back. So old lock is
+  marked as "ignored" (IGNORE_ME flag). New lock gets an UPGRADED flag.
+
+  Loose locks add an important exception to the above. Loose locks do not
+  always commute with other locks. In the list IX-LS both locks are active,
+  while in the LS-IX list only the first lock is active. This creates a
+  problem in lock upgrades. If the list was IX-LS and the owner of the
+  first lock wants to place LS lock (which can be immediately granted), the
+  IX lock is upgraded to LSIX and the list becomes IX-LS-LSIX, which,
+  according to the lock compatibility matrix means that the last lock is
+  waiting - of course it all happened because IX and LS were swapped and
+  they don't commute. To work around this there's ACTIVE flag which is set
+  in every lock that never waited (was placed active), and this flag
+  overrides "compatible with all previous locks" rule.
+
+  When a lock is placed to the end of the list it's either compatible with
+  all locks and all locks are active - new lock becomes active at once, or
+  it conflicts with some of the locks, in this case in the 'blocker'
+  variable a conflicting lock is returned and the calling thread waits on a
+  pthread condition in the LOCK_OWNER structure of the owner of the
+  conflicting lock. Or a new lock is compatible with all locks, but some
+  existing locks are not compatible with previous locks (example: request IS,
+  when the list is S-IX) - that is not all locks are active. In this case a
+  first waiting lock is returned in the 'blocker' variable,
+  lockman_getlock() notices that a "blocker" does not conflict with the
+  requested lock, and "dereferences" it, to find the lock that it's waiting
+  on.  The calling thread than begins to wait on the same lock.
+
+  To better support table-row relations where one needs to lock the table
+  with an intention lock before locking the row, extended diagnostics is
+  provided.  When an intention lock (presumably on a table) is granted,
+  lockman_getlock() returns one of GOT_THE_LOCK (no need to lock the row,
+  perhaps the thread already has a normal lock on this table),
+  GOT_THE_LOCK_NEED_TO_LOCK_A_SUBRESOURCE (need to lock the row, as usual),
+  GOT_THE_LOCK_NEED_TO_INSTANT_LOCK_A_SUBRESOURCE (only need to check
+  whether it's possible to lock the row, but no need to lock it - perhaps
+  the thread has a loose lock on this table). This is defined by
+  getlock_result[] table.
