I'll clarify what I mean by potential "stability issues" in case of implementing the signalling idea: suppose that process reads the global flag and acknowledges that it can read/write the protected memory. But just before it starts reading/writing, the flag gets updated and now the process crashes after attempting to read/write.
I guess there's no way to guarantee process stability with this design. Is that right?
