Hello Steve/linux-cifs,

We have received a request to make the timeout in the cifs module
tunable.

I have gone through the code to understand timeouts in the cifs client.

.html

The way to allow user settable timeout values is to make the value of
 SMB_ECHO_INTERVAL tunable. Do you think this is a good idea?
