The CM timeout should be proportional to the subnet timeout. Hence make the CM timeout dependent on the subnet timeout. Since the default subnet timeout used by OpenSM is 18 this patch does not change the CM timeout if the default OpenSM subnet timeout is used.

I'd say that this needs to be a ib_cm code in case the input timeout values are not set (e.g. zero).
I'm open to suggestions for how to move this functionality into the IB CM. Today the IB CM interprets all timeout values as absolute timeouts instead of timeouts that are relative to the subnet timeout. If we want to move this functionality into the IB CM we need an approach that allows the IB CM to discern relative from absolute values. I think this is only possible by changing struct ib_cm_req_param. Sean, would you perhaps like to share your opinion about this ?
