In our project we use mbedTLS together with freeRTOS. mbedTLS requires an mbedtls_ssl_context (let’s say ssl_context) for the send (mbedtls_ssl_write(...)) and receive (mbedtls_ssl_read(...)) functions. In our project we have a freeRTOS task A to send data with mbedTLS and a freeRTOS task Bto receive data with mbedTLS over the same session/interface. Both tasks use the same ssl_context instance. Potentially sending and receiving can happen at the same time.
Is it safe to use the same ssl_context instance from both taks? Or should only one task access the ssl_context?
At the moment we are using mbedtls_ssl_read(...) in blocking mode and hence the ssl_context cannot be protected against multiple access with a mutexm because then the sending task cannot obtain the mutex as long as the receiving task is the blocked receiving state (holding the mutext).Preformatted text
