  /**
   * Marks the given node as 'deleted' (null waiter) and then scans the list to unlink all deleted
   * nodes. This is an O(n) operation in the common case (and O(n^2) in the worst), but we are saved
   * by two things.
   *
   * <ul>

     * works well for hash tables since the bin lists tend to be short. (The average length is less
     * than two.)
     *
     * Read operations can thus proceed without locking, but rely on selected uses of volatiles to
     * ensure that completed write operations performed by other threads are noticed. For most
     * purposes, the "count" field, tracking the number of elements, serves as that volatile

   * once after loading completes). Much internal cache management is performed at the segment
   * granularity. For example, access queues and write queues are kept per segment when they are
   * required by the selected eviction algorithm. As such, when writing unit tests it is not
   * uncommon to specify {@code concurrencyLevel(1)} in order to achieve more deterministic eviction
   * behavior.
