ntpd: be less eager to use shorter poll intervals
* on step, poll interval drops to 8.5 mins instead of 32 seconds * on total loss of all replies (no replies from any peer for last 8 requests), also drop poll interval to 8.5 mins instead of 32 seconds * on send abd recv errors, RETRY_INTERVAL is now 32 seconds, not 5 seconds * on timing out listening to reply, instead of unconditional shortening poll interval by x4, clamp it to NOREPLY_INTERVAL (512 seconds) * if a largish offset is seen, clamp nexp poll interval to 128 seconds, not 64 seconds function old new delta clamp_pollexp_and_set_MAXSTRAT - 37 +37 recv_and_process_peer_pkt 861 869 +8 poll_interval 52 48 -4 update_local_clock 762 752 -10 ntpd_main 1063 1050 -13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 1/3 up/down: 45/-27) Total: 18 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
