Description
The multiwait API allows a waiter to wait on multiple events.
It would be very useful if we could make the network API compatible with this API so that a thread can wait on several socket receives, accepts, etc. Callers currently need to create multiple threads to do this. This would be the equivalent of poll or select.
To make the network stack API multiwaiter-compatible, we need to expose a futex.
A few locations where adding this futex would make sense (to be edited when new ideas come):
- receive bytes:
network_socket_receive,network_socket_receive_preallocated,network_socket_receive_from, and the TLS equivalentstls_connection_receive_preallocated,tls_connection_receive - send bytes:
network_socket_send,network_socket_send_to, and the TLS equivalenttls_connection_send - connect to a remote host:
network_socket_connect_tcp - accept a connection:
network_socket_accept_tcpin the new server API (Add a server API. #39)
