This flag determines whether the thread should currently process the work in the thread->todo worklist. The prime usecase for this is improving the performance of synchronous transactions: all synchronous transactions post a BR_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE to the calling thread, but there's no reason to return that command to userspace right away - userspace anyway needs to wait for the reply. Likewise, a synchronous transaction that contains a binder object can cause a BC_ACQUIRE/BC_INCREFS to be returned to userspace; since the caller must anyway hold a strong/weak ref for the duration of the call, postponing these commands until the reply comes in is not a problem. Note that this flag is not used to determine whether a thread can handle process work; a thread should never pick up process work when thread work is still pending.
