Thus it doesn't always do what commit log implies. If the remaining time is shorter then the new timeout value, it will take longer till the next HB the application expects. If the application has very strict timing requirement on the HBs, it should trigger the HB manually. We could rework the code to allow the combination of SPP_HB_DEMAND | SPP_HB_ENABLE to work as follows: 1) update the timer to the new value 2) Send an immediate HB a) Update the hb timeout. 2a should probably be done regardless since it can cause 2 HB to be outstanding at the same time. -vlad > } else if (asoc) { > asoc->hbinterval = > msecs_to_jiffies(params->spp_hbinterval); > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Sending a heartbeat 'on demand' might be problematic if one has also just been sent (from the timer). I'd have thought that you wouldn't want to send a heartbeat while still expecting a response from the previous one (this might require splitting the time interval in two).

Yes, you are right. This will trigger an rto doubling since we'll be in a state where we have an outstanding HB without an ack. > > I'd have thought that you wouldn't want to send a heartbeat while > still expecting a response from the previous one (this might require > splitting the time interval in two). This one is interesting. Technically, a user can request an immediate HB any time, and if the user requests it, we should honor the request. Also, the user may not know that there is an outstanding HB. I'll need to think about this a bit.

For an established association, if user has updated the HB.interval parameter by setsockopt(), this new heartbeat interval will not take effect until: - the expiry of the heartbeat timer and new hearbeat is sent. - DATA chunk has been sent and the transport resets the timer. This could not meet the requirement of the user who need to get HEARTBEAT sent at the specified time. Thus, we need to update the heartbeat timer immediately after user has changed HB.interval.
