- Avoid OOM errors when locked items stuck in tail
If clients occasionally fetch many items, more than can fit the TCP buffers, then hang for a very long period of time, that slab class could OOM. In older versions this could cause a crash. Since 1.4.20 this will cause OOM errors.
Now, if a locked item lands in the LRU tail, it will be bumped back to the head and an lrutail_reflocked counter incremented. If you're concerned about having stuck clients, watch that counter.
Big thanks to Jay Grizzard et all at Box for helping track this down!
