The documentation is a little confusing on this issue. It sounded to me when I read the documentation that all of the *OS* threads were blocked by the FFI, when what was meant was that all of the *IO* threads assigned to the calling OS thread are what is blocked, because the docs just say that "threads" are blocked without being clear that they are only referring to a particular subset of the threads.
To be fair, until relatively recently (6.8? 6.6?) there wasn't a difference; the docs are out of date, not incomplete. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxa0C0ACgkQIn7hlCsL25V+xACgoINpPvqWAsXXfqJqN8PfjzCw NVMAoNbCMShzmm8mi8T8niWy18pLanJu =G9AH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
