From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In multithread and 10K connections benchmark, the backend TCP connection established very slowly, and lots of TCP connections stay in SYN_SENT state. Client: smc_run wrk -c 10000 -t 4 http://server the netstate of server host shows like: 145042 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed 145042 SYNs to LISTEN sockets dropped One reason of this issue is that, since the smc_tcp_listen_work() shared the same workqueue (smc_hs_wq) with smc_listen_work(), while the smc_listen_work() do blocking wait for smc connection established. Once the workqueue became congested, it's will block the accept() from TCP listen. This patch creates a independent workqueue(smc_tcp_ls_wq) for smc_tcp_listen_work(), separate it from smc_listen_work(), which is quite acceptable considering that smc_tcp_listen_work() runs very fast.
