Everyone: The default timeout for SCSI INQUIRY commands is 5 seconds. For some USB storage devices this isn't long enough. See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11640#c6 and the following comments. Testing shows that Windows XP uses a timeout of 20 seconds for INQUIRY commands to USB devices. Is it reasonable to raise the default timeout to 20 seconds? If it isn't, could we add an LLD-specific timeout value? Then the actual timeout used would be the max of scsi_inq_timeout and the LLD's value.
