Actually, now that I made you change the wording, I think the original wording was correct. "Backoff" refers to an increase in the interval between retries. Since the interval is constant, there is no backoff. I could be wrong. I think the term "backoff" was first used this way in ALOHA. I've got some papers around here somewhere and can check. But maybe the best thing would be to remove any reference to backoff, and talk about retry instead. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
