How are multiple clients handled in hostapd?

Hi

When there are multiple simultaneous clients connecting to hostapd for
authentication, is anything shared between them? Is there mutli threading
for example or different processes?

I use global variables at the top of the .C file containing my new EAP
method. Is it possible that two connecting clients can write to each others
data?

For example the C file contains a variable called as a global variable
u8 sessid[17];

Can two simultaneous clients cause a problem?

Thanks a lot
Khali
