Applied, thanks! Samuel

[PATCH] libports: implement lockless management of threads

ports_manage_port_operations_multithread uses two values, totalthreads and nreqthreads, to manage the threads it creates. Previously the two values were stored in two variables and a lock was used to synchronize the access to them. Use a single variable thread_counts to hold both values. This way

lockless thread management in libports (was: [PATCH] libports: fix the thread counts in case the thread creation fails)

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

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 value
