[PATCH 1/2] NFSv4: Add a parameter to limit the number of retries after NFS4ERR_DELAY

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When using a 'softerr' mount, the NFSv4 client can get stuck waiting
forever while the server just returns NFS4ERR_DELAY. Among other things,
this causes the knfsd server threads to busy wait.
Add a parameter that tells the NFSv4 client how many times to retry
before giving up.
