// Currently, writes require undo-logging to prevent deadlock between the
// serial lock and the global orec (writer txn acquires orec, reader txn
// upgrades to serial and waits for all other txns, writer tries to upgrade to
// serial too but cannot, writer cannot abort either, deadlock). We could
// avoid this if the serial lock would allow us to prevent other threads from
// going to serial mode, but this probably is too much additional complexity
// just to optimize this TM method.
// gtm_thread::shared_state is used to store a transaction's current
// snapshot time (or commit time). The serial lock uses ~0 for inactive
// transactions and 0 for active ones. Thus, we always have a meaningful
// timestamp in shared_state that can be used to implement quiescence-based
// privatization safety. This even holds if a writing transaction has the
// lock bit set in its shared_state because this is fine for both the serial
// lock (the value will be smaller than ~0) and privatization safety (we
// validate that no other update transaction comitted before we acquired the
// orec, so we have the most recent timestamp and no other transaction can
// commit until we have committed).
// However, we therefore depend on shared_state not being modified by the
// serial lock during upgrades to serial mode, which is ensured by
// gtm_thread::serialirr_mode by not calling gtm_rwlock::write_upgrade_finish
// before we have committed or rolled back.
