Prevent frame-timeouts from hanging syncops
Summary: It was observed while testing the SHD threading code, that under high loads SHD/AFR related SyncOps & SyncTasks can actually hang/deadlock as the transport disconnected event (for frame timeouts) never gets bubbled up correctly. Various tests indicated the ping timeouts worked fine, while "frame timeouts" did not. The only difference? Ping timeouts actually disconnect the transport while frame timeouts did not. So from a high-level we know this prevents deadlock as subsequent tests showed the deadlocks no longer ocurred (after this change). That said, there may be some more elegant solution. For now though, forcing a reconnect is preferential vs hanging clients or deadlocking the SHD. Test Plan: It's fairly difficult to write a good prove test for this since it requires human eyes to observe if the SHD is deadlocked (I'm open to ideas). Here's the repro though: 1. Create a 3x replicated cluster on a host. 2. Set the frame-timeout low (say 2 sec) 3. Down a brick, and write a pile of files (maybe 2000) 4. Bring up the downed brick and let the SHD begin healing files 5. During the heal process, kill -STOP <pid of brick> (hang) one of the bricks Without this patch the SHD will be deadlocked, even though the frame timed out after 2 seconds. With the patch, the plug is pulled on the transport, a disconnect is bubbled up to the syncop and the SHD resumes.
