3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0d0f660d882c1c02748ced13966a2413aa5d6cc2 upstream.
This patch explicitly disables TX completion interrupt coalescing logic
in isert_put_response() and isert_put_datain() that was originally added
as an efficiency optimization in commit 95b60f07.
It has been reported that this change can trigger ABORT_TASK timeouts
under certain small block workloads, where disabling coalescing was
required for stability. According to Sagi, this doesn't impact
overall performance, so go ahead and disable it for now.
