A smp_store_release() is most likely sufficient.

The spec word 'atomic' is pretty confusing. What it is asking for, in
the modern memory model vernacular, is 'write once' for the entire
payload and 'release' to only be observable after other stores made by
the same QP.

'release' semantics will depend on the CPU complex having a release
dependency chain throughout all CPUs that completed any prior response
on the QP. It looks like this is achieved through tasklet scheduling..
