From dd5eeb99f47d18c05efffcd247c0aa07eaa9ffaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Ladisch Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 11:21:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] firewire: core: increase default SPLIT_TIMEOUT value The SPLIT_TIMEOUT mechanism is intended to detect requests that somehow got lost. However, when the timeout value is too low, transactions that could have been completed successfully will be cancelled. Furthermore, there are chips whose firmwares ignore the configured split timeout and send late split response; known examples are the DM1x00 (BeBoB), TCD22x0 (DICE), and some OXUF936QSE firmwares. This patch changes the default timeout to two seconds, which happens to be the default on other OSes, too. Actual lost requests are extremely rare, so there should be no practical downside to increasing the split timeout even on devices that work correctly.
