Btw, why are you setting MSG_DONTWAIT?  If you're in the middle of
transmitting a message on a TCP socket, surely you can't just switch to
transmitting a different message on the same socket without doing some sort of
reframing?

We don't want to hog kworker threads.  You are correct that we can't
switch to transmitting a different message on the same socket but Ceph
is massively parallel and there can be dozens or even hundreds of other
sockets to work on.

Thanks,
