for 2.2.9, it would be nice to fix the epoll issue PR 42829,

From what I can see, there is no real patch available or fully
tested enough to warrant anything for 2.2.9 right now.
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=21137 has been in
Debian testing and unstable for about 6 months without problems. It
is not an elegant solution but it works. Considering that is is not
clear how an elegant solution would look like, including this patch
might make sense.
Even if so, we cannot simply put it in 2.2.9. It needs to
be in trunk first, then tested, then proposed for backport
to 2.2.x and then voted on there before backported. Timing-wise,
it is VERY unlikely this will happen in time for 2.2.9. However,
some other prefork fixes I just added to STATUS in hopes of adding
them to 2.2.9...
