I think Metze is away so he won't be able to discuss it for a while.
Thanks for noticing it and trying it out.

If that patch interested you then you may be interested in a patch I'll
be posting shortly, to provide a callback to the sender vfs when the
request is finally written to the socket. This helps clients that want
to keep generating requests, but not more requests than the socket can
handle. Such a module just has one request queued and generates the next
one when that request leaves the queue and enters the socket.
