Since strerror() is thread-unsafe, use a separate local mutex to protect the action. The steps would then become: Acquire the mutex first, invoke strerror(), copy the string from strerror() to the designated buffer and then drop the mutex. Signed-off-by: Henry Wang <xin.wang2@xxxxxxx>Maybe add a "Fixes:" tag referencing Jan's patch? Yes, will do. And I would expand on the reason why you are using strerror() instead of justchecking the strerror_r() result. Something like: Using strerror_r() without special casing different build environments is impossible due to the different return types (int vs char *) depending on the environment. As p9_error() is not on a performance critical path, using strerror() with a mutex ought to be fine. Thanks!

Ok, I just mainly wanted to keep some consistency, but yeah unsigned int is definitely ok. Will follow your suggestion. Kind regards, Henry
