@zhengyu123 I don't see how a race you've described can happen. T2 will not reach `cmpxchg` to claim position 0, since an earlier check `if (state == state_empty(tail))` will fail in this case. Note that `state_empty(tail)` will be true for `tail == 1` but not for `tail == 3`. Or am I missing something?
