Current behaviour: every time a v3 operation is re-sent to the server we update (double) the timeout. There is no distinction between whether or not the previous timer had expired before the re-sent happened. Here's the scenario: 1. Client sends a v3 operation 2. Server RST-s the connection (prior to the timeout) (eg., connection is immediately reset) 3. Client re-sends a v3 operation but the timeout is now 120sec. As a result, an application sees 2mins pause before a retry in case server again does not reply. Instead, this patch proposes to keep track off when the minor timeout should happen and if it didn't, then don't update the new timeout. Value is updated based on the previous value to make timeouts predictable. Signed-off-by: Olga Kornievskaia <kolga@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
