# libgnaffinity.so provenance

`app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libgnaffinity.so` is a prebuilt (the app does not run CMake during packaging),
built from `jni/gnaffinity.c`:

- sha256: `61272eb70f568de532333ebc6574866eb23b7bd88119975aba2cc16c526650b9`
- NDK 27.3.13750724, arm64-v8a, android-26, MinSizeRel, `-z max-page-size=16384`, stripped; a rebuild yields the same sha256
- build: `app/src/main/cpp/gnaffinity/build.sh`, then
`cp app/src/main/cpp/gnaffinity/out/libgnaffinity.so app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/`

Exports only `Java_app_gamenative_powercontrol_TaskAffinity_nativeSetTaskAffinity`. Only dependencies: libc, libm, libdl.

P3: This reads the NDK override from ANDROID_NDK, but the rest of the repo documents and uses ANDROID_NDK_HOME. A developer who sets ANDROID_NDK_HOME as the README describes gets the default path silently. Read ANDROID_NDK_HOME here, with ANDROID_NDK as a fallback if you want to keep it.

P2: The affinity bridge truncates CPU sets at 32 CPUs, so cores numbered 32 or higher are silently ignored. Use a dynamically sized cpu_set_t/bitset and pass its size instead of an Int mask.

Check stopped while serializing session cleanup and reapply.

If the waiter passes its loop check before stop(), a shared lock alone is not sufficient. stop() can reset the command queue and release compositor affinity before the waiter acquires the lock. The waiter can then apply both effects after cleanup.

Use the same lock for the post-connect block and stop(), and check stopped while holding that lock.

56:
Serialize the post-connect work in GamescopeServerComponent with stop() using
the same lock, and check stopped while holding that lock before updating
GamescopeCommandQueue or applying compositor affinity. Ensure stop() sets
stopped and performs cleanup under that lock so a waiter that passed its loop
check cannot reapply effects afterward.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
