Subject: [PATCH] NFS: use a constant value for TCP retransmit timeouts
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eab5c084b858fd95a873fc2b97de9a9ad937b4ed;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PATCH] NFS: use a constant value for TCP retransmit timeouts

 Implement a best practice: don't use exponential backoff when computing
 retransmit timeout values on TCP connections, but simply retransmit
 at regular intervals.

 This also fixes a bug introduced when xprt_reset_majortimeo() was added.

 Test-plan:
 Enable RPC debugging and watch timeout behavior on a NFS/TCP mount.
