2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mike Christie commit c8611f975403dd20e6503aff8aded5dcb718f75b upstream If the ping tmo is longer than the recv tmo then we could miss a window where we were supposed to check the recv tmo. This happens because the ping code will set the next timeout for the ping timeout, and if the ping executes quickly there will be a long chunk of time before the timer wakes up again. This patch has the ping processing code kick off a recv tmo check when getting a nop in response to our ping.
