General Thread Safety

[d-tatianin]

A list of things that must be done to consider uACPI fully thread-safe. Most of these are guarding against edge cases that basically don't exist in the real world but must still be taken into account.

• [ ] Namespace managament
  • [ ] Skipping temporary objects during client namespace enumeration
  • [ ] A warning when AML references a temporary node not created by its own invocation
  • [ ] uacpi_namespace_node_find_acquire (find a node and bump the reference count)
• [x] Table lookups/modifications
• [ ] Event management
• [ ] Notify handlers
• [ ] Operation region handlers
• [ ] Interpreter thread safety
  • [ ] Reference replacement (?)
  • [ ] CopyObject thread safety
  • [ ] Racey tests
