Google is using the patch internally. I've recently joined google and
have picked up this work from Tom; I'm starting to rework how it
interacts with TCP (in particular, changing how it interacts with
request sockets and listen sockets so that incoming connections are
not prematurely bound to a specific listener sharing the port). I
have nothing worth sharing yet.
