Thank for the info. I am less familiar with that kind of issues on other

SInce it's the unlock path,. you need to use the "mb__*before*"
versions, since presumably you want to protect what is inside the lock
from leaking out, not some random thing after the lock from leaking
in..

My bad. I am a bit sloppy not using the right function in my email. I
will certainly put the right mb functions depending on whether it is a
lock or unlock function.
