Locking/mutex usage notes
-The code is multi-threaded, and uses mutexes and the CRITICAL_BLOCK/TRY_CRITICAL_BLOCK macros to protect data structures.
+The code is multi-threaded, and uses mutexes and the
+CRITICAL_BLOCK/TRY_CRITICAL_BLOCK macros to protect data structures.
-Deadlocks due to inconsistent lock ordering (thread 1 locks cs_main and then cs_wallet, while thread 2 locks them in the opposite order: result, deadlock as each waits for the other to release its lock) are a problem. Compile with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER to get lock order inconsistencies reported in the debug.log file.

-Re-architecting the core code so there are better-defined interfaces between the various components is a goal, with any necessary locking done by the components (e.g. see the self-contained CKeyStore class and its cs_KeyStore lock for example).
