Review comments need to be addressed and centos regressions are failing.

https://review.gluster.org/#/c/19202/
There are some suggestions on the patch. If others agree they are valid, this patch can be considered as redundant with approach of #19207. However, as I've mentioned in the comments there are some tradeoffs too. So, Waiting for response to my comments. If nobody responds in the time period given, we can merge the patch and susant will have to backport to 4.0 branch.
