From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 56b26e69c8283121febedd12b3cc193384af46b9 upstream. On Azure, we have seen instances of unbounded I/O latencies. To deal with this issue, implement handler that can reset the timeout. Note that the host gaurantees that it will respond to each command that has been issued. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
