Hello Steve/linux-cifs, We have received a request to make the timeout in the cifs module tunable. I have gone through the code to understand timeouts in the cifs client. http://sprabhu.blogspot.in/2015/08/investigation-into-effects-of-server .html The way to allow user settable timeout values is to make the value of SMB_ECHO_INTERVAL tunable. Do you think this is a good idea?
