The ACPI byte code inside the ACPI control method responsible for handling the WMI method calls uses a global buffer for constructing the return value, yet the ACPI control method itself is not marked as "Serialized". This means that calling WMI methods on this WMI device is not thread-safe, as concurrent WMI method calls will corrupt the global buffer. Fix this by serializing the WMI method calls using a mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
