Hi,

Ran ~8 seconds in debug_level 8:

/var/log# grep delayed kern.log | cut -d':' -f 4- | sort | uniq -c
    272  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-1 conn.n_control=0
      1  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-12 conn.n_control=0
    104  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-2 conn.n_control=0
     26  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-3 conn.n_control=0
      8  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-4 conn.n_control=0
      1  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-5 conn.n_control=0
      1  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-6 conn.n_control=0
      1  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=-8 conn.n_control=0
   3184  IPVS: delayed: refcnt-1=0 conn.n_control=0

Well, that's interresting no?!

So... what's next? I sit back and relax while you go bug hunting?? :)

Seriously, I looked over the code hoping I would find the missing inc or
whatever... but I'm afraid this is out of my league. But if there is
anything else you want me to try or do just let me know.

Rgds,
Mark.
