use guard(mutex) for scope based resource management of mutex.
This would make the code simpler and easier to maintain.

More details on lock guards can be found at

There is also an example of using scoped_guard.

I had to open up this file to check, but this seems incorrect since you
now also run do_fail_paste() with the lock held, where previously you
did not.


Yes. Got it. let me use scoped_guard for it as well. There is get_user and other things in the fail parse and having it with mutex will not be good.

I went through the rest of the patches too. It is mostly return after mutex.

Only in Patch 5/6 there is additional debug statement. Let me put a comment there.
