The atomicity violation occurs due to concurrent execution of set_min and
set_max funcs.Consider a scenario where setmin writes a new, valid 'min'
value, and concurrently, setmax writes a value that is greater than the
old 'min' but smaller than the new 'min'. In this case, setmax might check
against the old 'min' value (before acquiring the lock) but write its
value after the 'min' has been updated by setmin. This leads to a
situation where the 'max' value ends up being smaller than the 'min'
value, which is an inconsistency.
