+ * Hybrid PV queued/unfair lock
+ *
* By replacing the regular queued_spin_trylock() with the function below,
* it will be called once when a lock waiter enter the PV slowpath before
- * being queued. By allowing one lock stealing attempt here when the pending
- * bit is off, it helps to reduce the performance impact of lock waiter
- * preemption without the drawback of lock starvation.
+ * being queued.
+ *
+ * The pending bit is set by the queue head vCPU of the MCS wait queue in
+ * pv_wait_head_or_lock() to signal that it is ready to spin on the lock.
+ * When that bit becomes visible to the incoming waiters, no lock stealing
+ * is allowed. The function will return immediately to make the waiters
+ * enter the MCS wait queue. So lock starvation shouldn't happen as long
+ * as the queued mode vCPUs are actively running to set the pending bit
+ * and hence disabling lock stealing.
+ *
+ * When the pending bit isn't set, the lock waiters will stay in the unfair
+ * mode spinning on the lock unless the MCS wait queue is empty. In this
+ * case, the lock waiters will enter the queued mode slowpath trying to
+ * become the queue head and set the pending bit.
+ *
+ * This hybrid PV queued/unfair lock combines the best attributes of a
+ * queued lock (no lock starvation) and an unfair lock (good performance
+ * on not heavily contended locks).
