Do I have to tell the runtime that a system call is blocking? For
example, I use this code snippet to perform a blocking ioctl:
conn, err := file.SyscallConn()
if err != nil {
return
}
err1 := conn.Control(func(fd uintptr) {
_, _, err2 := syscall.Syscall(syscall.SYS_IOCTL,
fd, uintptr(req), 0)
if err2 != 0 {
err = err2
}
})
And the syscall can block until some hardware timeout occurs. The
file descriptor has already been transitioned to blocking mode using
file.FD(). Is there anything else left to do, so that the runtime
knows it may have to spawn a new worker thread or something like that?
