Hi Neal,
I don't have an answer for that question. But I am interested in
changing ip_vs_sync.c such that it uses a dynamic "sleep" to avoid
this problem from that end.
Out of interest, which kernel are you using, and more specifically,
what is the argument to msleep_interruptible() in ip_vs_sync.c ?
What I am interested to know is if you are seeing the error with
msleep_interruptible(100).
