[PATCH v1 18/18] xprtrdma: Faster server reboot recovery

Chuck Lever

In a cluster failover scenario, it is desirable for the client to
attempt to reconnect quickly, as an alternate NFS server is already
waiting to take over for the down server. The client can't see that
a server IP address has moved to a new server until the existing
connection is gone.

For fabrics and devices where it is meaningful, set an upper bound
on the amount of time before it is determined that a connection is
no longer valid. This allows the RPC client to detect connection
loss in a timely matter, then perform a fresh resolution of the
server GUID in case it has changed (cluster failover).
