Hi,
I'm wondering if an approach along the lines of the following is valid.
The idea is that the value in the ctl_table is essentially a scratch
value that is used by the parser and then copied into ip_vs_sync_threshold
if it is valid. I'm concerned that there are atomicity issues
surrounding writing ip_vs_sync_threshold while there might be readers.
