Problem
We saw unexpected container terminations when running in k8s with with small CPU resource requests.
The /status and /ready handlers called
maybe_forward
, which always takes the lock on Service::inner.If there is a lot of writer lock contention, and the container is starved of CPU, this increases the likelihood that we will get killed by the kubelet.
It isn't certain that this was a cause of issues, but it is a potential source that we can eliminate.
