I think we're safe. It shouldn't matter if thread 2 reads thread 3's answer (because they are both read-only queries, and should be getting the same answer; or even if the answers differ, reading the newer answer is not horrible because it is still an accurate answer).
The queries could be for different disks, and one might fail. The problem is mostly if the first fails and the second succeeds, and the program sees a success instead of a failure.
