Basics- pthread mode description is ambiguous

User code(client-side done, server-side CallMethod) runs in bthreads with 1MB stacksize by default. But some of them cannot run in bthreads:

...... brpc offers pthread mode to solve the issues. When -usercode_in_pthread is turned on, user code will be run in pthreads. Functions that would block bthreads block pthreads.

Note: With -usercode_in_pthread on, brpc::thread_local_data() does not guarantee to return valid value.

Performance issues when pthread mode is on: .....

User code still runs in special bthreads actually, which use stacks of pthread workers. These special bthreads are scheduled same with normal bthreads and performance differences are negligible.

when -usercode_in_pthread enable, which thread is used and schedule is what?
