* Mutual exclusion of __cds_wfcq_* API
*
* Unless otherwise stated, the caller must ensure mutual exclusion of
* queue update operations "dequeue" and "splice" (for source queue).
- * Queue read operations "first" and "next" need to be protected against
- * concurrent "dequeue" and "splice" (for source queue) by the caller.
+ * Queue read operations "first" and "next", which are used by
+ * "for_each" iterations, need to be protected against concurrent
+ * "dequeue" and "splice" (for source queue) by the caller.
* "enqueue", "splice" (for destination queue), and "empty" are the only
* operations that can be used without any mutual exclusion.
* Mutual exclusion can be ensured by holding cds_wfcq_dequeue_lock().
*
* For convenience, cds_wfcq_dequeue_blocking() and
* cds_wfcq_splice_blocking() hold the dequeue lock.
+ *
+ * Besides locking, mutual exclusion of dequeue, splice and iteration
+ * can be ensured by performing all of those operations from a single
+ * thread, without requiring any lock.
