The first and only fair and starvation free version of Lamport's fast mutual exclusion algorithm is presented, that is faster than any other existing starvation free algorithm in the contention free state. It uses eight memory references in the absence of contention. Further, this algorithm removes the drawbacks of Lamport's algorithm, namely unfairness, starvation and high release cost.
