    net/smc: Introduce a specific sysctl for TEST_LINK time · 77eee325
    Wen Gu authored
    SMC-R tests the viability of link by sending out TEST_LINK LLC
    messages over RoCE fabric when connections on link have been
    idle for a time longer than keepalive interval (testlink time).
    
    But using tcp_keepalive_time as testlink time maybe not quite
    suitable because it is default no less than two hours[1], which
    is too long for single link to find peer dead. The active host
    will still use peer-dead link (QP) sending messages, and can't
    find out until get IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR error CQEs, which takes
    more time than TEST_LINK timeout (SMC_LLC_WAIT_TIME) normally.
    
    So this patch introduces a independent sysctl for SMC-R to set
    link keepalive time, in order to detect link down in time. The
    default value is 30 seconds.
