Cover letter [LTP] [RFC PATCH 0/2] Allow to compile on archs without atomic support
Hi!
Quoted 2 lines
What if we made general implementation with some locking? It would be slower, but I think we don't use atomics that much for it to matter.
Atomic increment was easiest way how to make the test library thread safe I wasn't concerned with speed at all. But that is not true for the CVE tests which use atomic operation to synchronize threads to trigger races.
