+Subject: dirmngr: Avoid need for hkp housekeeping.
+
+* dirmngr/ks-engine-hkp.c (host_is_alive): New function. Test whether
+host is alive and resurrects it if it has been dead long enough.
+(select_random_host, map_host, ks_hkp_mark_host): Use host_is_alive
+instead of testing hostinfo_t->dead directly.
+(ks_hkp_housekeeping): Remove function, no longer needed.
+* dirmngr/dirmngr.c (housekeeping_thread): Remove call to
+ks_hkp_housekeeping.
+
+--
+
+Rather than resurrecting hosts upon scheduled resurrection times, test
+whether hosts should be resurrected as they're inspected for being
+dead. This removes the need for explicit housekeeping, and makes host
+resurrections happen "just in time", rather than being clustered on
+HOUSEKEEPING_INTERVAL seconds.
+
+According to 392e068e9f143d41f6350345619543cbcd47380f,
+dns_stuff_housekeeping only works on Windows, so it also isn't
+necessary in debian, but it remains in place for now.

+Subject: dirmngr: hkp: Avoid potential race condition when some hosts die.
+
+* dirmngr/ks-engine-hkp.c (select_random_host): Use atomic pass
+through the host table instead of risking out-of-bounds write.
+
+--
+
+Multiple threads may write to hosttable[x]->dead while
+select_random_host() is running. For example, a housekeeping thread
+might clear the ->dead bit on some entries, or another connection to
+dirmngr might manually mark a host as alive.
+
+If one or more hosts are resurrected between the two loops over a
+given table in select_random_host(), then the allocation of tbl might
+not be large enough, resulting in a write past the end of tbl on the
+second loop.
+
+This change collapses the two loops into a single loop to avoid this
+discrepancy: each host's "dead" bit is now only checked once.
+
+As Werner points out, this isn't currently strictly necessary, since
+npth will not switch threads unless a blocking system call is made,
+and no blocking system call is made in these two loops.
+
+However, in a subsequent change in this series, we will call a
+function in this loop, and that function may sometimes write(2), or
+call other functions, which may themselves block. Keeping this as a
+single-pass loop avoids the need to keep track of what might block and
+what might not.
