6in4: improve HE tunnel update procedure
- uclient-fetch timeout bumped from 5s to 15s. If we do not do this
we get flagged by HE as the update request is expensive and takes
more than 5s to execute. Currently 5s timeout causes uclient-fetch
to be killed prematurely as can be seen by the following log:
10:34:57 user.notice 6in4-henet: update 1/3: timeout
10:35:07 user.notice 6in4-henet: update 2/3: timeout
10:35:17 user.notice 6in4-henet: update 3/3: timeout
10:35:22 user.notice 6in4-henet: update failed
The above is the worst case, what usually happens is:
10:53:59 user.notice 6in4-henet: update 1/3: timeout
10:54:06 user.notice 6in4-henet: update 2/3: abuse
10:54:06 user.notice 6in4-henet: updated
- We now use an exponential backoff starting from 5 seconds.
- Detect ca-bundle so we don't use --no-check-certificates
unnecessarily.
- The while loop was changed so we don't retry unnecessarily
after the final failure.
- Worst-case total time the update operation might take before
bailing out is:
(sum(15 + (5 × (2^(x − 1))), 1, 2) + 15) seconds = 1 min
