[LU-17519] Remove dead peers automatically

Fri, 9 Feb 2024 15:57:28 +0000

When a client is decommissioned, it stays forever in the peer list of the servers.

It is cleaner to remove it from the list of peers. It avoids the need to change the value of lnet_recovery_limit to remove LNetError messages about this removed client. Moreover, having this parameter changed can mask a problem on an active but faulty node.

However, it can be cumbersome to remove it manually. That is why an automatic deletion could be relevant.

This feature could use a parameter to enable it and to set the delay before a client is considered to be removed.
