     17 /* Helper to perform abortable blocking operations on a socket:
     18  *   asocket_connect()
     19  *   asocket_accept()
     20  *   asocket_read()
     21  *   asocket_write()
     22  * These calls are similar to the regular syscalls, but can be aborted with:
     23  *   asocket_abort()
     24  *
     25  * Calling close() on a regular POSIX socket does not abort blocked syscalls on
     26  * that socket in other threads.
     27  *
     28  * After calling asocket_abort() the socket cannot be reused.
     29  *
     30  * Call asocket_destory() *after* all threads have finished with the socket to
     31  * finish closing the socket and free the asocket structure.
     32  *
     33  * The helper is implemented by setting the socket non-blocking to initiate
     34  * syscalls connect(), accept(), read(), write(), then using a blocking poll()
     35  * on both the primary socket and a local pipe. This makes the poll() abortable
     36  * by writing a byte to the local pipe in asocket_abort().
     37  *
     38  * asocket_create() sets the fd to non-blocking mode. It must not be changed to
     39  * blocking mode.
     40  *
     41  * Using asocket will triple the number of file descriptors required per
     42  * socket, due to the local pipe. It may be possible to use a global pipe per
     43  * process rather than per socket, but we have not been able to come up with a
     44  * race-free implementation yet.
     45  *
     46  * All functions except asocket_init() and asocket_destroy() are thread safe.
