Yes, it does.

The flag indicates that an aio operation (or thread operation) is 
in progress.  In ngx_http_upstream_init_request() it means that 
reading of cache file header is currently in progress, and not yet 
complete.  The flag will be cleared once reading is complete.

Note that if you are trying to use thread pools in your own code, 
it might be tricky to do it correctly, especially if you are 
trying to do so from an input filter (likely won't be possible).
