Common Interview Questions

  • Q: How do you handle JNI threading safely? A: Lead with correctness then throughput: choose dispatcher by workload type, keep critical sections small, cap parallelism, and monitor tail latency and queue depth.
  • Q: How do you debug SELinux denials in practice? A: Answer in layered controls: model threats, harden identity and transport, protect keys and secrets, add runtime integrity signals, and define response playbooks.
