Jason,
Hi All,
I have encountered a problem that when there is no other activty on ring but
only retransmition, and token is in hold mode, the retransmition will become
slow. More over, if the retransmition is always fail but token
Yes
rotation works well,
then it takes quite a lone time(fail_to_recv_const * token_hold = 2500
* 180ms = 450sec) for the retransmiting node to meet the "FAILED TO
RECEIVE" condition to
re-construct a new ring. This can be reporduced by the following steps:
1) Create a two-node cluster in udpu transport mode.
2) Wait until there is no other activty on ring.
3) One, or both nodes delete each other in nodelist in corosync.conf
4) corosync-cfgtool -R, this can cause a message retransmition, but I am
not sure why.
5) Since tokenrotation still works well, but the retransmition can not be
satisfied due to node deletion, so, only "FAILED TO RECEIVE"
condition can form new
ring. But we need to wait 450 seconds for it to happen. During this wait,
we saw the following logs:
This is really weird case.
Jul 30 11:21:06 notice [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: e
Jul 30 11:21:06 notice [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: e

Jul 30 11:21:06 notice [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: e

...
This problem can be solved by adding token_hold_cancel_send() in both
retransmition request and response conditions in orf_token_rtr() to speed up
retransmition. I created a patch below, any comments?
Ok. Patch looks fine, but during review I had other idea. What about
prohibit starting of hold mode where there are messages to retransmit?
Such solution may be cleaner, isn't it?
Anyway. This is change in very critical part of the code, so Chrissie,
can you please take a look to patch and express your opinion?
Regards,
Honza
