The patch titled
Subject: aoe: allow user to disable target failure timeout
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
aoe-allow-user-to-disable-target-failure-timeout.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Ed Cashin <ecashin@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: aoe: allow user to disable target failure timeout
With this change, the aoe driver treats the value zero as special for the
aoe_deadsecs module parameter. Normally, this value specifies the number
of seconds during which the driver will continue to attempt retransmits to
an unresponsive AoE target. After aoe_deadsecs has elapsed, the aoe
driver marks the aoe device as "down" and fails all I/O.
The new meaning of an aoe_deadsecs of zero is for the driver to retransmit
commands indefinitely.
