#350 To investigate random length delay in the backend
Closed: wontfix Opened by nhosoi.

Backend code has following random length delays in the retry:
PRIntervalTime interval; \
interval = PR_MillisecondsToInterval(slapi_rand() % 100); \
DS_Sleep(interval); \

This may be better to replace with pthread_yield/PR_Sleep(PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT).
/
** Make the current thread sleep until "ticks" time amount of time
** has expired. If "ticks" is PR_INTERVAL_NO_WAIT then the call is
** equivalent to calling PR_Yield. Calling PR_Sleep with an argument
** equivalent to PR_INTERVAL_NO_TIMEOUT is an error and will result
** in a PR_FAILURE error return.
/
NSPR_API(PRStatus) PR_Sleep(PRIntervalTime ticks);

some sort of delay is necessary to prevent exceeding the deadlock retry count - but random vs. fixed amount vs. just a thread yield?

Added initial screened field value.

this ticket is now open for 3 yrs without pushing to resolve. The benefit of a change is unclear and the backend code is going to be redesigned, so we will not fix this.
