Do we know if this fix has been merged to stable/9 and releng/9.0? Given
multiple reports of instability without it, I think we would be well-served to
merge it at this point.
Hey Robert, sorry to bother you again, but can you at least point me
towards specific SVN revisions that I need to get merged? I tried to
google it and also browsed my svn history for the last 4 months using
keyword "sockets", but nothing came up. This fix is critical for any
system that does lot of fault-ctitical networking, and FreeBSD has
always been solid in this regard. It saved us at least 10-15 crashes
across 5 machines in the last month.
Thanks!
