    [PATCH] ipr: Fast failure module options · fe60e694
    Brian King authored
    Since the ipr adapter initialization is performed by waiting for
    an interrupt to occur and this is the first interrupt ever received
    from the adapter, and the timeout for this interrupt is 5 minutes,
    failed ipr adapters can halt the boot process for a long time.
    In certain environments, it makes sense to not try as hard to get
    the adapter working and just fail the adapter. This patch adds
    two module parameters to modify the adapter initialization sequence.
