> The following race condition is possible with the existing code in unified memory management:
> (1) Existing tasks collectively occupy all execution memory
> (2) New task comes in and blocks while existing tasks spill
> (3) After tasks finish spilling, another task jumps in and puts in a large block, stealing the freed memory
> (4) New task still cannot acquire memory and goes back to sleep
