If multiple threads were waiting for more block buffers without anyone releasing them, they ended up in a deadlock. Now we store 6 blocks for 8 threads. If a thread already has a block buffer, it will not have to wait for a new one. Only if there are more than 8 threads using blocks, will it block until there are free slots for a thread available. |
