Message-Id: <20100924.200557.229751150.davem@davemloft.net> Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 20:05:57 -0700 (PDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: akpm@...ux-foundation.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, bugzilla-daemon@...zilla.kernel.org, bugme-daemon@...zilla.kernel.org, yuri@...nteg.net Subject: Re: [Bugme-new] [Bug 18952] New: The mount of SYN retries is not equal to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries tcp_syn_retries is not an exact calculation. It is input into a calculation which estimates how long that many retransmits (with suitable backoff applied) will take, and that time estimte in turn determines the time limit for when we'll kill the connection attempt. Feel free to update the documentation in Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt to more closely match the behavior. The logic is in net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c:retransmits_timed_out(). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
