    virtio-mem: Better retry handling · 23e77b5d
    David Hildenbrand authored
    Let's start with a retry interval of 5 seconds and double the time until
    we reach 5 minutes, in case we keep getting errors. Reset the retry
    interval in case we succeeded.
    
    The two main reasons for having to retry are
    - The hypervisor is busy and cannot process our request
    - We cannot reach the desired requested_size (esp., not enough memory can
      get unplugged because we can't allocate any subblocks).
