Why happens when threads block on I/O?
843789Apr 13 2009 — edited Apr 13 2009I want to know what are the reasons for threads blocking on I/O.Do they block to allow the I/O operation or do they block(enter in waiting state) to allow other threads to continue operation while I/O opeation ?
If a particular thread is blocked for I/O do other threads get a chance by the Thread Scheduler ?
If this question has been asked and answered somewhere ,kindly let me know so that i can follow that thread.
Thanks for your consideration.
