Fail-safe uses atomic operations to protect sub-device close operation calling by host thread in removal time while the removed sub-device burst functions are still in process by application threads.
Using "set" atomic operations is a liitle bit more efficient than "add" or "sub" atomic operations because "set" shouldn't read the value and in fact, it does not need a special atomic mechanism in x86 platforms. Replace "add 1" and "sub 1" atomic operations by "set 1" and "set 0" atomic operations.
