I may be confused, but doesn't fifo have to spin (for(;;;)) also? Or do you mean that the tbb spin will call yield() after a certain number of tries?

There's a loop in fifo, true. But this loop is non-blocking in a sense that it has a property that if several threads enter this loop then at least one thread will make progress for sure. With a blocking spin-lock, it's possible for none of the threads to make any progress. Andy.
