Description
Each time a listener socket becomes ready, MariaDB calls accept() ten
times (MAX_ACCEPT_RETRY), even if all but the first one return EAGAIN
because there are no more connections. This causes unnecessary CPU
usage - on our server, the CPU load of that thread, which does nothing
but accept(), saturates one CPU core by ~45%. The loop should stop
after the first EAGAIN.
Perf report:
Release Notes
Reduce number of accept() system calls.
