Currently, when hb_interval is changed by users, it won't take effect until the next expiry of hb timer. As the default value is 30s, users have to wait up to 30s to wait its hb_interval update to work. This becomes pretty bad in containers where a much smaller value is usually set on hb_interval. This patch improves it by resetting the hb timer immediately once the value of hb_interval is updated by users. Note that we don't address the already existing 'problem' when sending a heartbeat 'on demand' if one hb has just been sent(from the timer) mentioned in: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg590224.html Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/75465785f8ee5df2fb3acdca9b8fafdc18984098.1696172660.git.lucien.xin@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
