I found it!


void sc_w(Register Rd, Register Rs2, Register Rs1, Aqrl memory_order = aqrl)
void NAME(Register Rd, Register Rs1, Register Rs2, Aqrl memory_order = relaxed)


lr/sc had relaxed as default memory ordering while other atomics had aqrl, I accidentaly upgraded to aqrl.

Which explains why it's working, but slower!

Thanks!
