The * 8 here suggests the counters are spaced so that they could be 64
bit wide, even when only 32 bits are used. Does the documentation say
anything about the upper 32 bits when the counters are only 32 bits?
Are they guaranteed to read as zero? I'm just wondering if the code
should be forward looking and read all 64 bits?

It is a pretty unusual pattern to split a mutex lock/unlock like this
on an if statement. Maybe just unconditionally hold the mutex? This
does not appear to be anyway hot path, so the overhead should not
matter.
