    xfs: normalize "infinite" retries in error configs · 77169812
    Eric Sandeen 提交于
    As it stands today, the "fail immediately" vs. "retry forever"
    values for max_retries and retry_timeout_seconds in the xfs metadata
    error configurations are not consistent.
    
    A retry_timeout_seconds of 0 means "retry forever," but a
    max_retries of 0 means "fail immediately."
    
    retry_timeout_seconds < 0 is disallowed, while max_retries == -1
    means "retry forever."
    
    Make this consistent across the error configs, such that a value of
    0 means "fail immediately" (i.e. wait 0 seconds, or retry 0 times),
    and a value of -1 always means "retry forever."
    
    This makes retry_timeout a signed long to accommodate the -1, even
    though it stores jiffies.  Given our limit of a 1 day maximum
    timeout, this should be sufficient even at much higher HZ values
    than we have available today.
