Description

The current implementation is as simple as it can be. But because of this, it is #prettybad.

Should use some combination of:

  1. scalable lock implementation,
  2. FIFO ordering, and
  3. cancellable with configuration for when to cancel so that intelligent policies for preemption can be reasonably implemented.
