SMC-R tests the viability of link by sending out TEST_LINK LLC
messages over RoCE fabric when connections on link have been
idle for a time longer than keepalive interval (testlink time).

But using tcp_keepalive_time as testlink time maybe not quite
suitable because it is default no less than two hours[1], which
is too long for single link to find peer dead. The active host
will still use peer-dead link (QP) sending messages, and can't
find out until get IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR error CQEs, which takes
more time than TEST_LINK timeout (SMC_LLC_WAIT_TIME) normally.

So this patch introduces a independent sysctl for SMC-R to set
link keepalive time, in order to detect link down in time. The
default value is 30 seconds.

I'm wondering why we don't follow the upper to macros using (30 * HZ) ?

Thanks for the reivew.

Because the value of sysctl_smcr_testlink_time is in seconds, and the value
of llc_testlink_time is jiffies.

I have thought about
1) using proc_dointvec_jiffies as sysctl's proc_handler just like TCP does.
    But proc_dointvec_jiffies has no minimum limit, value 0 makes no sense for SMC testlink.
2) using proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies_minmax as proc_handler. But millisecond interval
    seems expensive for SMC test link.

So, I choose to use proc_dointvec_minmax, make sysctl_smcr_testlink_time in
seconds, and convert to jiffies when assigning to llc_testlink_time.

Thanks,
Wen Gu.

Maybe 0 means disable the LLC TEST LINK ?

If proc_dointvec_jiffies_minmax is really the problem, maybe you can
write your own proc handler.

Oops, I didn't noticed that value 0 means disabling LLC testlink in smc_llc_link_active().

So no need to set the minimum limit and proc_dointvec_jiffies will be fine. I will send a v2 to improve it.
