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)
• Table lookups/modifications
• Event management
• Notify handlers
• Operation region handlers
• Interpreter thread safety
  • Reference replacement (?)
  • CopyObject thread safety
  • Racey tests
