[Pvfs2-developers] timeouts in the kmod

[Sam Lang]

Hi All,

It looks like timeouts in a kmod request to the client daemon only  
get a timeout if its not the first attempt, which looks to only occur  
if the client deamon falls over and gets restarted.  Instead of  
calling schedule() in that first wait_for_downcall, why not call  
schedule_timeout with some long-ish timeout that exceeds the timeouts  
of the client daemon?

I just wonder what happens to scheduled procs on downcalls if by some  
coding error the client stays alive but never returns a downcall.  It  
looks like the process never gets woken up...
