netty thread model confuse

[jonef...@gmail.com]

when using EventLoop, why do we need to check  if we are in event loop ?  isn't  the  calling thread is the worker thread dedicated for that channel and that event loop , whoever it will be ?

Its needed as you user could call for example Channel.write(…) from the application thread which may be different then the EventLoop.
