Hi, 

I'm using rte_member in my application. I have two questions.
1. Could a rte_member_setsum be initialized on one thread and used on
another thread?
2. Are the operations (lookup, add, reset,.) atomic, or do I need to use
some kind of locking (e.g. rte_spinlock)?

I couldn't find anything in the doc. My guess is that you can init and use a
setsum on different threads just fine, but sharing a setsum among different
threads does require locking.

Thanks and best regards,
-BL
