From e3b3e6246726cd05950677ed843010b8e8c5884c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Christie Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:06:25 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] scsi/block: increase flush/sync timeout We have been seeing the flush request timeout with a wide range of hardware from tgt+iser to FC targets from a major vendor. After discussions about if the value should be configurable and what the best value should be, this patch just increases the flush/sync cache timeout to 1 minute. 2 minutes was determined to be too long, and making it configurable was troublesome for users. This patch was made over Linus's tree. It is not made over scsi-misc or scsi-rc-fixes, because Linus's had block layer changes that my patch was built over.
