ping 2.

i think v3 is safe and does not waste resources.

the only hack is the relaxed atomic operations, but i
wanted to avoid introducing additional barriers and the
correctness of the test does not depend on ordering.
if that's considered bad then those can be changed to
acquire/release atomics.
