// Utility to signal invocation of a callback on another thread in a lock free manner.

//
// A condition variable is used to notify a waiting thread, but only if the required
// lock can be acquired immediately. If that fails, we fall back on signaling
// after a timeout. This gives us a guaranteed minimum signalling rate which is defined
// by the fallbackPeriod parameter.
