Thanks Maxim for further explaining!
We do listen to a huge number of IPs with tons of traffic and huge spikes
on them. We really need to avoid any type
of congestion, therefore the reuseport.
While many of the ip:port combos are simply there for failover purposes and
actually aren't "in use", I see right now
no feasible way to reduce the number of listening sockets before the
upgrade and restore them afterwards. That would be hugely complex,
error-prone and would still leave us with a window where the instant
failover wouldn't work as expected.
As we run a custom kernel anyways, i'll still try to look into adjusting
MAX_ARG_STRLEN as a workaround.
Having a solution that wouldn't make this necessary would be simply a blast
though and greatly appreciated :-)
