Except this place, all accesses to BAlloc are already serialized, so there's usually no contention. If the cost of acquiring a lock under that situation is negligible, I'd imagine that always acquiring the lock could be a reasonable option.


The only other user of `BAlloc` is `StringSaver` (all other allocations use a `SpecificBumpPtrAllocator`). Are you proposing to change `BumpPtrAllocator::Allocate` to take a lock?
