This sentence seems to say commit [1] changed something on the tls
condition, but IMHO fundamentally the issue is multifd recv thread model
that relies on blocking readv() rather than request-based (like what src
multifd does).
Now src uses either shutdown() or close() to kick dest multifd recv threads
out from readv(). That has nothing to do with what we do during complete()
with those sync messages.. referencing it is ok, but we'll need to
reference also the other commit to be clear pre-9.0 can also be prone to
this. To me, it's more important to mention the root cause on the multifd
recv thread model, which requires explicit tls terminations.
