From 828dc9da50f9632bbc5bc9dfa510619d13135015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Garrett Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:42:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: increase KCS timeouts We currently time out and retry KCS transactions after 1 second of waiting for IBF or OBF. This appears to be too short for some hardware. The IPMI spec says "All system software wait loops should include error timeouts. For simplicity, such timeouts are not shown explicitly in the flow diagrams. A five-second timeout or greater is recommended". Change the timeout to five seconds to satisfy the slow hardware.
