I think these two should be declared next to xs_state _lock since they
are protected by it. Or maybe even put them into some sort of a state
struct.

I don't think I understand why this is needed.

Is it safe to do this without a lock?

Is there a reason why you are using different flags here?

Is this still needed? You are assigning it in xs_send().

We are waking up waiters here but there is not guarantee that waiting
threads will have a chance to run, is there?
