Why do you need an atomic variable for this? What are you trying to
"protect" here by flushing the cpus all the time? What protects this
variable from changing right after you have read from it (hint, you do
that above...)
atomics are not race-free, use a real lock if you need that.

We are on the data path here - this is called from queuecommand.
The "reads" counter is being symmetrically read and written,
so adding a spin lock here might become a source for contention.
Also I am not worried about the exact value of this counter, except of one place -
See above. Will fix it.
Thanks,

And an atomic varible is not? You do know what spinlocks are made of,
right? :)

So it's not really needed?
