A mutex may be able to atomically block access because of its own

If this is true, how can any multithreaded be done ?
Only the ordering decision "inside" vs "outside" of the critical section
is necessary for threaded user application. If both Enter and Leave do a
"full fence" barrier, I suppose we are safe.
