A system and method is provided that reserves a software lock for a waiting thread is presented. When a software lock is released by a first thread, a second thread that is waiting for the same resource controlled by the software lock is woken up. In addition, a reservation to the software lock is established for the second thread. After the reservation is established, if the lock is available and requested by a thread other than the second thread, the requesting thread is denied, added to the wait queue, and put to sleep. In addition, the reservation is cleared. After the reservation has been cleared, the lock will be granted to the next thread to request the lock.
