typedef struct TRFifo	TRFifo
	Strictly ordered FIFO resource for serialized task execution.

Detailed Description

TRFifo provides strictly ordered FIFO (First In, First Out) serialization of task execution. Tasks are guaranteed to run in exactly the order they registered with the resource.

Characteristics:

• Linked list implementation scales efficiently to many waiters
• Strict FIFO ordering guaranteed
• Only one task runs at a time (serialized)
• No possibility for tasks to "cut in line"

When to use:

• Need guaranteed execution order
• Large number of waiting tasks
• Processing queue-like workloads
• Serializing access to order-dependent resources

Example use case: Serializing writes to a file or database where order matters.

Linked list node for FIFO queue.
