Applications are sensitive to long network latency, particularly heartbeat monitoring ones. Longer the tx timeout recovery higher the risk with such applications on a production machines. This patch remedies, yet honoring device set tx timeout. Modify watchdog next timeout to be shorter than the device specified. Compute the next timeout be equal to device watchdog timeout less the how long ago queue stop had been done. At next watchdog timeout tx timeout handler is called into if still in stopped state. Either called or not called, restore the watchdog timeout back to device specified.
