Can you please add a bit more context, like: + What is the motivating use case? (Accelerating Exim?) Is this targeted for connections using encryption (like TLS/SSL), or just plain-text connections? + What are the exact performance improvements you are seeing in your benchmarks that (a) motivate this, and (b) justify any performance impact on the TCP stack? + Regarding "Support write to a listen TCP socket, for immediate transmission on passive connection establishments.": can you please make it explicitly clear whether the data written to the listening socket is saved and transmitted on all future successful passive sockets that are created for the listener, or is just transmitted on the next connection that is created? thanks, neal
