 * <b> Reader / writer lock (odp_rwlock_t) </b>
 *
 * A reader/writer lock allows multiple simultaneous readers but only one
 * writer at a time. A thread that wants write access will have to wait until
 * there are no threads that want read access. This causes a risk for
 * starvation. The trylock variants can be used to avoid blocking when
 * the lock is not immediately available.
