>From the CPU's point of view, getting a cache line for writing is more
expensive than reading.  See Appendix A.2 Spinlock in:

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/xeon-lock-scaling-analysis-paper.pdf

The full compare and swap will grab the cache line exclusive and causes
excessive cache line bouncing.
