Struct Backoff

pub struct Backoff { /* private fields */ }

An exponential backoff for spin loops.

This is a helper struct for spinning in a busy loop, with an exponentially increasing number of spins up to a maximum value.

Implementations

impl Backoff

pub const DEFAULT_MAX_EXPONENT: u8 = 8u8

The default maximum exponent (2^8).

This is the maximum exponent returned by Backoff::new() and Backoff::default(). To override the maximum exponent, use Backoff::with_max_exponent().

pub const fn new() -> Backoff

Returns a new exponential backoff with the maximum exponent set to Self::DEFAULT_MAX_EXPONENT.

pub fn with_max_exponent(max: u8) -> Backoff

Returns a new exponential backoff with the provided max exponent.

pub fn spin(&mut self)

Backs off in a spin loop.

This should be used when an operation needs to be retried because another thread or core made progress. Depending on the target architecture, this will generally issue a sequence of yield or pause instructions.

Each time this function is called, it will issue 2^exp [spin loop hints], where exp is the current exponent value (starting at 0). If exp is less than the configured maximum exponent, the exponent is incremented once the spin is complete.
