Abstract
A system for and method of coordinating actions of components between userspace and kernel are described. The system comprises a processor; zero or more hardware components coupled with the processor; and a memory coupled with the processor and comprising a set of processor-executable instructions. The instructions comprise a component handling state machine responsive to at least one of a kernel component or a userspace component; and at least one component interface thread in communication with the component handling state machine and configured to interact with at least one of the zero of more hardware components responsive to a signal from the component handling state machine.
