Subject: [PATCH datacenter-manager 0/4] implement back-off mechanism for
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 15:30:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529133026.3149896-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)

When a remote is not reachable (e.g. network outage, crashes, etc), PDM
tries to connect on every attempt with a timeout. This leads to heavily
delayed api calls in the PDM UI. To counter that, this series implments
a basic back-off mechanism that increases the time between actual api
calls in an exponential way (up to a maximum).

Advantage are less failed api calls, but the downside is that it now
takes a while potentially to mark a remote as reachable again.

For details on ideas for that see the notes in patch 2/4

Note: patch 1/4 is related, but it's a fix on its own (see the notes
there for further details.)

Dominik Csapak (4):
  server: connection: multi client: use correct client error for
    retrying
  server: remote cache: prepare for back-off mechanism
  server: connection: multi-client: use back-off state from remote cache
  server: pbs client: rework to use the back-off mechanism from remote
    cache
