Milek7 opened PR #7884 from Milek7:threadid to bytecodealliance:main:

TID returned by wasi_thread_spawn must be non-zero and upper three bits must always be zero: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-threads?tab=readme-ov-file#design-choice-thread-ids

Current implementation didn't fulfill this requirements, only clearing the top bit from random value. Additionally, from birthday paradox probability of collision in allowed TID range nears 50% after spawning 27000 threads. This is large but not totally impossible, thus replace random generation with sequential allocation.

Current implementation didn't fulfill this requirements, only clearing the top bit from random value. This breaks wasi-libc mutexes when random TID is larger than 0x1FFFFFFF.

Milek7 commented on PR #7884:

This PR makes 0x1FFFFFFF the last TID that will be returned, but it is incorrect on wasm-libc because it reserves that for main thread ID. But wasi-threads proposal as written allows for this, so I'm not sure whether assume that's wasm-libc problem or limit it there 0x1FFFFFFE.

Current implementation didn't fulfill this requirements, only clearing the top bit from random value. This breaks wasi-libc mutexes when random TID is larger or equal than 0x3FFFFFFF.

Additionally, from birthday paradox probability of collision in allowed TID range nears 50% after spawning 27000 threads. This is large but not totally impossible, thus replace random generation with sequential allocation.
