Problem: On node reboot, when glusterd starts volumes rapidly, there's a flood of connections from the bricks to glusterd and from the self-heal daemons to the bricks. This causes SYN Flooding and dropped connections when the listen-backlog is not enough to hold the pending connections to compensate for the rate at which connections are accepted by the RPC layer. Solution: Increase the listen-backlog value to 1024. This is a partial solution. Part of the solution is to rearm the listener socket early for quicker accept() of connections.
