TBH I don't honestly know for sure. I don't think TC_INTERACTIVE is any
sort of guarantee of 'instant' delivery, just a hint to the kernel as to
relative priorities. If there is a huge amount of DLM traffic then that
still need to happen somehow. But really we ought to get input from
someone who knows more about the kernel networking internals than me :)
