RDMA/cma: Change RoCE packet life time from 18 to 16
The ack timeout retransmission time is affected by the following two factors: one is packet life time, another is the HCA processing time. Now the default packet lifetime(CMA_IBOE_PACKET_LIFETIME) is 18. That means the minimum ack timeout is 2 seconds (2^(18+1)*4us=2.097seconds). The packet lifetime means the maximum transmission time of packets on the network, 2 seconds is too long. Assume the network is a clos topology with three layers, every packet will pass through five hops of switches. Assume the buffer of every switch is 128MB and the port transmission rate is 25 Gbit/s, the maximum transmission time of the packet is 200ms(128MB*5/25Gbit/s). Add double redundancy, it is less than 500ms. So change the CMA_IBOE_PACKET_LIFETIME to 16, the maximum transmission time of the packet will be about 500+ms, it is long enough.
