Test-and-set with MB acting as ACQUIRE, ok.

MB acting for RELEASE, but _why_ are you using a LDEX/STEX to clear the
lock word? Would not a normal store work?

Also, the fact that you need MB for release implies your LDEX does not
in fact imply anything and your xchg/cmpxchg implementation is broken.

Strictly speaking you can avoid the MB on failure. You only need to
provide ACQUIRE semantics on success.

That said, I would really suggest you implement a ticket lock instead of
a test-and-set lock. They're not really all that complicated and do
provide better worst case behaviour.

Please have a look at using qrwlock -- esp. if you implement a ticket
lock, then the rwlock comes for 'free'.
