[axtls-general] reading and writing from different threads

[Arunkumar D. <dar...@cl...>]

Hi All,

We are using axTLS in our embedded project and need to perform 
ssl_write() and ssl_read() from different threads. But Valgrind tool 
reported a race condition on the ssl->flag and ssl->bm_data fields. On 
further investigation it looks like, the code was not written to support 
performing read and write operations simultaneously.

Can anyone confirm this? How much of a priority is this to other developers?

We are planning to perform crude locking so that only read of write 
happens at a time, although I think it should be possible to do it 
without a lock if the fields used for write and read operations are 
separated. Is anyone interested in the changes?

thanks,
arun
