[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/3] net/failsafe: mitigate data plan atomic operations

[Matan Azrad]

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.
