My comments to "[PATCH] Close socket explicitly before wal_dir at exit"
regarding the commit meesage are valid for this patch as well. Please
fix accordingly.

No-no-no. RPS doesn't make any sense at all for the number of active
connections. Please don't extend it. Add a simple counter instead.
Perhaps, you don't even need to do that and it's possible to extract
the number of connections from iproto_connection_pool stats. Check it
out, please.

The test is poor. I want to see that you actually check that the number
of connections is accounted correctly. Please use net.box module to
establish several connections and check that the number reported in the
stats is correct.
