// Implementation of biased reference counting inter-thread queue.
//
// Biased reference counting maintains two refcount fields in each object:
// ob_ref_local and ob_ref_shared. The true refcount is the sum of these two
// fields. In some cases, when refcounting operations are split across threads,
// the ob_ref_shared field can be negative (although the total refcount must
// be at least zero). In this case, the thread that decremented the refcount
// requests that the owning thread give up ownership and merge the refcount
// fields. This file implements the mechanism for doing so.
//
// Each thread state maintains a queue of objects whose refcounts it should
// merge. The thread states are stored in a per-interpreter hash table by
// thread id. The hash table has a fixed size and uses a linked list to store
// thread states within each bucket.
//
// The queueing thread uses the eval breaker mechanism to notify the owning
// thread that it has objects to merge. Additionally, all queued objects are
// merged during GC.
