Risky means: we break the rules of persistence,
one established connection can continue to work during
weight=0 and we create new connection to another real
server. Users can set weight=0 for seconds, clients
can retry on connection reject and when real server
is back we can continue in the same session.
Of course, all depends on applications. Some applications
are not tolerant to connection rejects.
Persistence is explained here:
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.persistent_connection.html
SH is a poor choice for persistence, there is no
persistence timeout, no client netmask, no control with
expire_quiescent_template. That is why I'm not sure
who and how uses SH.

Yes

Yes, not sure what others think, may be changes for
ipvsadm will be needed:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/ipvsadm/ipvsadm.git
And then we can start a wider discussion:

bool found;
later use false/true.

We should remove all IP_VS_DEST_F_AVAILABLE checks
from the SH and DH schedulers, such checks are needed only
for LBLC and LBLCR because only they can hold removed
dests in the scheduler context.

May be goto is more appropriate here to avoid second
is_available(dest) call.

Please use *iph here, passing large structure by
value is a bad idea.

Use iph->protocol instead of svc->protocol because not
all services have correct protocol.
