Suppose a case that: req and msg received but init not completed, so we enqueue all of them in the tailq; and from now on, no req/rep/msg comes. Then mp thread will hang here for reading new message.
In such a case, we might need the master thread to signal mp thread to wake up when init is completed?

Thanks,
Jianfeng
