When you call hRead on a Handle, if the handle would block then you ultimately get a call to threadWaitRead <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.8.1.0/docs/GHC-Conc.html#v:threadWaitRead> or threadWaitWrite; these functions register interest in the given file descriptor, and the IO manager / GHC runtime scheduler will wake up your thread (GHC uses "green" threads) when the file descriptor becomes writable.
