Hi Dave,

Could you please explain why you would prefer to use test_bit () / 
test_and_set_bit() and clear_bit() for managing the SRP target state ? 
As far as I can see the target state is not changed in any code path 
where it matters how fast the state is changed. Maybe I'm missing 
something ?

Thanks,

Bart.
