I think it follows from the HSA spec that a write to the first byte is deemed significant to the GPU in which case writing to the second short and reading back from it later would be safe. However, the examples for this all involve an atomic write to the first 32 bits and it seems a credible risk that the occasional CI errors abound invalid packets have as their root cause that the firmware notices the early write to packet->setup and treats that as a sign that the packet is ready to go.

That was overly-paranoid, however in passing noticed the code in libc is genuinely invalid. The memset writes a zero to the header byte, changing it from type_invalid (1) to type_vendor (0), at which point the GPU is free to read the 64 byte packet and interpret it as a vendor packet, which is probably why libc CI periodically errors about invalid packets.

Also a drive by change to do the atomic store on a uint32_t consistently. I'm not sure offhand what __atomic_store_n on a uint16_t* and an int resolves to, seems better to be unambiguous there.
