barriers in mutexes?

[Steve Muckle]

Hello,

Looking at kernel/mutex.c and arch/arm/include/asm/mutex.h, it appears
there aren't any memory barriers in the fast path of mutexes. I see this
was discussed here a long time back:

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/25856/

How was this resolved?

thanks,
Steve
