In current kernels initialization of fc_dev_loss_tmo is wrong. See fc_remote_port_delete(): int timeout = rport->dev_loss_tmo; ... fc_queue_devloss_work(shost, &rport->dev_loss_work, timeout * HZ); So actually a timeout of ((HZ*60)*HZ) is used or with James S's recent patch we have a timeout of ((HZ*120)*HZ). I think this was not intentional, so I suggest the following patch to correct this.
