If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Bellinger commit cf0eb28d3ba60098865bf7dbcbfdd6b1cc483e3b upstream. This patch increases the default for nopin_timeout to 15 seconds (wait between sending a new NopIN ping) and nopin_response_timeout to 30 seconds (wait for NopOUT response before failing the connection) in order to avoid false positives by iSCSI Initiators who are not always able (under load) to respond to NopIN echo PING requests within the current 5 second window. False positives have been observed recently using Open-iSCSI code on v3.3.x with heavy large-block READ workloads over small MTU 1 Gb/sec ports, and increasing these values to more reasonable defaults significantly reduces the possibility of false positive NopIN response timeout events under this specific workload. Historically these have been set low to initiate connection recovery as soon as possible if we don't hear a ping back, but for modern v3.x code on 1 -> 10 Gb/sec ports these new defaults make alot more sense.
