Is self increment in C thread safe?

I found some code in FreeRTOS (FreeRTOSV7.4.0\FreeRTOS\Source\tasks.c):

void vTaskSuspendAll( void )
{
    /* A critical section is not required as the variable is of type
    portBASE_TYPE. */
    ++uxSchedulerSuspended;
}

It is explicitly said no need to protect due to the type is "portBASE_TYPE", which is a "long" type. My understood is that it assumes the self-increment to this type is atomic. But after I disassembled it I could not find any proof, its a plain load->add->store. Then is it a problem?

void vTaskSuspendAll( void )
{
        /* A critical section is not required as the variable is of type
        portBASE_TYPE. */
        ++uxSchedulerSuspended;
 4dc:   4b03            ldr     r3, [pc, #12]   ; (4ec <vTaskSuspendAll+0x10>)
 4de:   f8d3 2118       ldr.w   r2, [r3, #280]  ; 0x118
 4e2:   1c50            adds    r0, r2, #1
 4e4:   f8c3 0118       str.w   r0, [r3, #280]  ; 0x118
 4e8:   4770            bx      lr
 4ea:   bf00            nop
 4ec:   00000000        .word   0x00000000

000004f0 <xTaskGetTickCount>:
        return xAlreadyYielded;
}
