pthread_suspend_np(pthread_self())
always suspends the thread immediately.
"may not block right away" referes to the case when the argument to
pthread_suspend_np is not the current thread (something we don't encourage).
In this case, suspension takes place when the scheduler next runs.

Yes it is. If the thread is running, this signal has no effect.
