I was actually planning on testing a 33% deployment this evening, I guess what I'm really wondering is that because this is a low-level networking adjustment that modifies locking behavior, are there 'gotchas' I should be aware of beforehand?

I'll test and report back regardless; only afraid of the scenario where the test goes well, and the entire network goes down a week later (e.g., a wonderfully-fun time we had previously chasing down rogue epoll queues and zombie processes that only occurred after a threshold of sustained load).

As with any new code, it may have bugs. The kernel could deadlock or crash due to insufficient locking.

You may want to start small and report any bugs that you find to help improve the code.

did you get anything working ?
