In my program, I only have 2 threads... and lets say thread 1 ends up calling a function foo() that will block on IO. I dont want to make the whole system block, so I want to resume the execution of foo() when the IO completes and restore thread state so that the stack (function call history and all) is maintained. How can I do this in Linux?
