The purpose of this mode of operation is to 29 * ensure that assorted timeout events which QUIC expects to be handled in a 30 * timely manner can be handled without the application needing to ensure that 31 * SSL_tick() is called on time. This is not needed if the application always 32 * has a call blocking to SSL_read() or SSL_write() (or another I/O function) on 33 * a QUIC SSL object, but if the application goes for long periods of time 34 * without making any such call to a QUIC SSL object, libssl cannot ordinarily 35 * guarantee that QUIC timeout events will be serviced in a timely fashion. 36 * Thread assisted mode is therefore of use to applications which do not always 37 * have an ongoing call to an I/O function on a QUIC SSL object but also do not 38 * want to have to arrange periodic ticking. 39 * 40 * A consequence of this is that the intrusiveness of thread assisted mode upon 41 * the general architecture of our QUIC engine is actually fairly limited and 42 * amounts to an automatic ticking of the QUIC engine when timeouts expire, 43 * synchronised correctly with an application's own threads using locking. 44 */ 45 typedef struct quic_thread_assist_st { 46 QUIC_CHANNEL *ch; 47 CRYPTO_CONDVAR *cv; 48 CRYPTO_THREAD *t; 49 int teardown, joined; 50 } QUIC_THREAD_ASSIST; 51 52 /* 53 * Initialise the thread assist object.
