[PATCH 3/9] block: xd: raise timeouts

From: Linus Walleij
Date: Tue Feb 12 2013 - 17:42:09 EST


The timeouts for the XD driver were set pretty low, probably
tested out on an error-free disk. When there are bad sectors
on the disk, the controller card will autonomously perform a
bump of the drive head, a quite slow mechanical operation
which takes way more than one second, or even the 8 seconds
allowed for the IRQ to arrive. Raise both timeouts to 30
seconds.
