[patch 33/37] SCSI: libiscsi regression in 2.6.25: fix setting ofrecv timer

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue May 13 2008 - 16:25:38 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Mike Christie <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c8611f975403dd20e6503aff8aded5dcb718f75b upstream

If the ping tmo is longer than the recv tmo then we could miss a window
where we were supposed to check the recv tmo. This happens because
the ping code will set the next timeout for the ping timeout, and if the
ping executes quickly there will be a long chunk of time before the
timer wakes up again.

This patch has the ping processing code kick off a recv
tmo check when getting a nop in response to our ping.
