However, sync_thread_master() ignores this state, now causing a compile warning. According to Julian Anastasov , this behavior is OK: "Yes, your patch looks ok to me. In the past we used ssleep() but IPVS users were confused why IPVS threads increase the load average. So, we switched to _interruptible calls and later the socket polling was added." Document this, as requested by Peter Zijlstra, to avoid precious developers disappearing in this pitfall in the future.
