Recover from a lost UDP reply in seconds instead of minutes (#77, #78, #79, #93) - #140
Conversation
A dropped BMC reply used to cost the whole 300 s per-message timeout and an empty result. Four defects in the transport path made every retry pointless and every wait unbounded: - MessageListener kept the "Message timed out" error of the previous try, so a retry rethrew it at once instead of waiting for the resent message (#78). The listener now resets its outcome per try and waits on a monitor instead of polling. - MessageQueue kept a timed-out message for another timeout period and its tag reservation was inverted (#93). A timed-out message now leaves the queue at once and is reported once; a listener that throws no longer kills the timer thread, and the wait for a free queue slot is bounded by the message timeout. - Connection.waitForResponse counted sleeps instead of elapsed time and swallowed interruption (#79). It now waits on a wall-clock deadline, and an interrupt rolls the state machine back and propagates, so Future.cancel(true) from IpmiClient really stops the worker. The retry loops of the connectors no longer retry an interrupted step. The UDP receiver and the timers are daemon threads, and AbstractIpmiRunner .close() tolerates a session that never got a connector. - The default per-message timeout is 5 s instead of 300 s, and IpmiClient caps it by the overall timeout of the call (#77). IpmiConnector exposes getTimeout(handle). Verified on a GIGABYTE and a Lenovo BMC: a dropped Get SDR reply is now retried after 5 s and the sensor walk completes in about 9 s instead of timing out at 120 s; an unreachable host fails with "Command timed out" after 20 s, and the JVM exits without System.exit(). Fixes #77, fixes #78, fixes #79, fixes #93. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

When a thread using the synchronous low-level IpmiConnector.sendMessage is interrupted inside waitForAnswer, this new branch immediately rethrows, but sendMessage() unregisters its MessageListener only after a normal return. The listener therefore remains in IpmiAsyncConnector; repeated cancellations leak listeners, and every later response must traverse these stale registrations. Move listener removal into a finally block.

This changes the library-wide per-message timeout from five minutes to five seconds and accompanies new retry and cancellation semantics, but the README's 1.2.03 upgrade summary remains unchanged and omits this major user-visible behavior change. Update that summary so users relying on the previous default are warned.

Problem
A single dropped UDP reply from the BMC stalled an
IpmiClientcall for the 300 s per-message timeout and ended with a bareTimeoutExceptionand nothing collected. On the GIGABYTE test BMC this happens in roughly one run out of three.Four transport defects conspired:
MessageListenerkept the previous try'sMessage timed outerror, so every retry rethrew it immediately instead of waiting for the resent messageConnection.waitForResponsecounted 1 ms sleeps instead of elapsed time and swallowedInterruptedException; the receiver thread and timers were non-daemon;close()threw NPE when the connector was never createdclose()IpmiClientcaps it by the overall timeout;IpmiConnector.getTimeout(handle)addedBehaviour changes
