The type of 'r_attempts' in kernel 'ceph_mds_request' is 'int', while in 'ceph_mds_request_head' the type of 'num_retry' is '__u8'. So in case the request retries exceeding 256 times, the MDS will receive a incorrect retry seq. In this case it's ususally a bug in MDS and continue retrying the request makes no sense. For now let's limit it to 256. In future this could be fixed in ceph code, so avoid using the hardcode here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
