It's already in the 1.2 !!! I don't know much you care about
performance, but I do. This patch increase by 10% the latency. It
might be correct for the pathscale compiler, but it didn't look as a
huge requirement for all others compilers. A memory barrier for an
initialization and an unlock definitively looks like killing an ant
with a nuclear strike.
Can we roll this back and find some other way?
Yes, we can.
It's not actually the memory barrier we need, it's the tell the
compiler to not do anything stupid because we expect memory to be
invalidated that we need. I'll commit a new, different fix tonight.
