From a784f90c9892f06b9fea4e7579f5eca3585482c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Maxwell Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2015 11:47:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Cap nAttempts penalty at 8 and switch to pow instead of a division loop. On hosts that had spent some time with a failed internet connection their nAttempts penalty was going through the roof (e.g. thousands for all peers) and as a result the connect search was pegging the CPU and failing to get more than a 4 connections after days of running (because it was taking so long per try). --- src/addrman.cpp | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/addrman.cpp b/src/addrman.cpp index 5d9527f0e..094c913e9 100644 --- a/src/addrman.cpp +++ b/src/addrman.cpp @@ -67,9 +67,8 @@ double CAddrInfo::GetChance(int64_t nNow) const if (nSinceLastTry < 60 * 10) fChance *= 0.01; - // deprioritize 50% after each failed attempt - for (int n = 0; n < nAttempts; n++) - fChance /= 1.5; + // deprioritize 66% after each failed attempt, but at most 1/28th to avoid the search taking forever or overly penalizing outages. + fChance *= pow(0.66, min(nAttempts, 8)); return fChance; }
