virtio_scsi tries to do exception handling after the default 30 seconds timeout expires. However, it's better to let the host control the timeout, otherwise with a heavy I/O load it is likely that an abort will also timeout. This leads to fatal errors like filesystems going offline. Disable the 'sd' timeout and allow the host to do exception handling, following the precedent of the storvsc driver. Hannes has a proposal to introduce timeouts in virtio, but this provides an immediate solution for stable kernels too. Reported-by: Douglas Miller <dougmill@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: "James E.J.
