I have run trinity quite a bit and it doesn't fork bomb as far as I can
recall, with him running it with -C100 we're not quite at 2^16 yet?

I do agree it's a problem, just don't think it's the one we're
hitting -- I'll try again on a recent kernel to see if anything changed
with rdma/tcp as well, but I'm starting to doubt I'll get any luck with
anything other than virtio; which doesn't really help since it's not the
same order of latencies.

FWIW I don't *think* trinity can issue TFlush either without user
interaction, that's a really special call. It can only happen in rpc()
or zc_rpc() if it's interrupted by ERESTARTSYS which I understand as ^C?


(I'll look into making the pools use IDA unless someone else steps up,
sure. Thanks Jeff)
