            Bug ID: 159384
           Summary: WTF::Lock should support eventual fairness
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Template Framework
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: fpizlo at apple.com

For critical sections that are held for a long time, it makes sense to have a completely fair lock, since the cost of forced context switches is small by comparison to the cost of waiting on a thread that barged into the lock.
