This fixes BB failures experienced in #11784 (comment) and references BPO-17561.
It turns out doing
socket.listen(0)
does not equal to "choose a reasonable default". It literally means "set backlog to 0". As such setbacklog=None
as the default forsocket.create_server
. With this in place the C extension will choosemin(SOMAXCONN, 128)
as the default backlog.
