But that never triggered the reported bug of eventually breaking new requests for me (It is still good to verify some busy tests on this part of the apache code) -> Therefore one of the reporters of the bug tested the ppa quite a while on his main machines that formerly were affected by the issue. -> no clear "do this then X happens" test case steps * Perform arbitrary additional functional tests on the package to make sure no regressions are visible [Regression Potential] * It is a rather complex code change in the mpm event handling. Only the first change is to code, the other two are for the documentation to match. We tested some apache benchmarks to check the effect, but found neither a positive nor negative impact in general (other than the bug being resolved). Yet if people rely on very specific behavior of the mpm handling that might change a bit. It will change for the good of it, but always remember xkcd.com/1172 TL;DR: IMHO it clearly has a ">none" regression potential on the mpm event handling [Other Info] * Since this is hard to test we had a 2+ week test on the ppa, see comments c#8 - c#15 * It clearly is a fix for some (e.g. the reporter of the bug), but I'd understand if the SRU Team would rate it as feature and deny it for an SRU - depends on the POV, certainly worth to be reviewed at least. ---- On the clean install Ubuntu 14.04 with Apache without almost any client load the Apache server with the command "service apache2 reload" itself allocates slots marked with "Gracefully finishing" for which rejects new connections. For full rejection of new requests is sufficient to perform 4x command "service apache2 reload".
