firewire: fw-sbp2: try to increase reconnect_hold (speed up reconnection)
Ask the target to grant 4 seconds instead of the standard and minimum of 1 second window after bus reset for reconnection. This accelerates reconnection if there are more than one targets on the bus: If a login and inquiry to one target blocks the fw-sbp2 workqueue for more than 1s after bus reset, we now still can reconnect to the other target. Before that, fw-sbp2's reconnect attempts would be rejected with "error status: 0:9" (function rejected), and fw-sbp2 would finally re-login. All those futile reconnect attemps cost extra time until the target which needs re-login is ready for I/O again. The reconnect timeout field in the login ORB doesn't have to be honored by the target though. I found that we could get up to - allegedly 32768s from an old OXFW911 firmware - 256s from LSI bridges - 4s from OXUF922 and OXFW912 bridges, - 2s from TI bridges, - only the standard 1s from Initio and Prolific bridges and from Apple OpenFirmware in target mode. We just try to get 4 seconds which already covers the case of a few HDDs on the same bus quite nicely. A minor drawback occurs in the following (rare and impractical) border case: - two initiators are there, initiator 1 holds an exclusive login to a target, - initiator 1 goes off the bus, - target refuses login attempts from initiator 2 until reconnect_hold seconds after bus reset. An alternative approach to the issue at hand would be to parallelize fw-sbp2's reconnect and login work.
