	Hello,

Since commit dc7b3eb900aa ("ipvs: Fix reuse connection if real server is
dead"), new connections to dead servers are redistributed immediately to
new servers.

Then commit d752c3645717 ("ipvs: allow rescheduling of new connections when
port reuse is detected") disable expire_nodest_conn if conn_reuse_mode is
0. And new connection may be distributed to a real server with weight 0.
	Your change does not look correct to me. At the time
expire_nodest_conn was created, it was not checked when
weight is 0. At different places different terms are used
but in short, we have two independent states for real server:

- inhibited: weight=0 and no new connections should be served,
	packets for existing connections can be routed to server
	if it is still available and packets are not dropped
	by expire_nodest_conn.
	The new feature is that port reuse detection can
	redirect the new TCP connection into a new IPVS conn and
	to expire the existing cp/ct.

- unavailable (!IP_VS_DEST_F_AVAILABLE): server is removed,
	can be temporary, drop traffic for existing connections
	but on expire_nodest_conn we can select different server

	The new conn_reuse_mode flag allows port reuse to
be detected. Only then expire_nodest_conn has the
opportunity with commit dc7b3eb900aa to check weight=0
and to consider the old traffic as finished. If a new
server is selected, any retrans from previous connection
would be considered as part from the new connection. It
is a rapid way to switch server without checking with
is_new_conn_expected() because we can not have many
conns/conntracks to different servers.
