Yes, it is like a readers/writers lock.
To read from the wbuf, all that is needed is the spin lock.
To append to the wbuf, without otherwise changing it, all that is needed
is the mutex (and then the spin lock to record that the append happened).
To change the wbuf, the mutex *and* the spin lock are needed.
