+// Used to describe how a thread may be scheduled.  Typically associated with
+// the declaration of a resource supporting synchronized access.
+//
+// SCHEDULE_COOPERATIVE_AND_KERNEL:
+// Specifies that when waiting, a cooperative thread (e.g. a Fiber) may
+// reschedule (using base::scheduling semantics); allowing other cooperative
+// threads to proceed.
+//
+// SCHEDULE_KERNEL_ONLY: (Also described as "non-cooperative")
+// Specifies that no cooperative scheduling semantics may be used, even if the
+// current thread is itself cooperatively scheduled.  This means that
+// cooperative threads will NOT allow other cooperative threads to execute in
+// their place while waiting for a resource of this type.  Host operating system
+// semantics (e.g. a futex) may still be used.
+//
+// When optional, clients should strongly prefer SCHEDULE_COOPERATIVE_AND_KERNEL
+// by default.  SCHEDULE_KERNEL_ONLY should only be used for resources on which
+// base::scheduling (e.g. the implementation of a Scheduler) may depend.
+//
+// NOTE: Cooperative resources may not be nested below non-cooperative ones.
+// This means that it is invalid to to acquire a SCHEDULE_COOPERATIVE_AND_KERNEL
+// resource if a SCHEDULE_KERNEL_ONLY resource is already held.
