Parallel read/write on socket
Does it make sense to both write and read on a socket (SOCK_STREAM) in parallel with multiple threads? On Linux. Do those syscalls block each other?

It makes sense as long as there is exactly one writer and one reader thread. If you have more than one reader thread you need to lock reading if you have more than one writer thread you have to lock writing.

Yes, it makes sense. Since they are in separate threads they do not block each other.
