From e1c0d82dab4a4605d3bd1968436f030dfed4a829 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haiyang Zhang Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:10:14 -0700 Subject: hv_vmbus: Add gradually increased delay for retries in vmbus_post_msg() Most of the retries can be done within a millisecond successfully, so we sleep 1ms before the first retry, then gradually increase the retry interval to 2^n with max value of 2048ms. Doing so, we will have shorter overall delay time, because most of the cases succeed within 1-2 attempts. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang Reviewed-by: K. Y.
