Re: [PATCH iptables] xtables: use exponential delay when waiting for xtables lock

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

 




This break the "-w" option's semantic, i.e. if the user input
"iptables -w 1", and concurrency happen,
we will just only wait 10ms and return an error.

If there's any chance this patch can break existing setups then we
can't take this.

I'd suggest you add support to express millisecond precision using a
dot notation, ie.

        -w .000001

that means 10 ms.

Thanks Liping / Pablo for your comments.

I'll raise a new patchset for this.
