Re: [PATCH] libports: implement lockless management of threads

[Neal H. Walfield]

Yes, this is what I was thinking of.

I recall there being type defs for appropriate atomic types.  If that
is still the recommended approach, please update your patch
appropriately.

The most important thing, however, is ensuring that the semantics are
preserved.  That is, was the use of the values also protected by the
lock?  Does moving to atomic updates introduce a possible
inconsistency?  I haven't looked at the code.  Before this is checked
in, however, someone should.

Thanks,

Neal
