The cma is currently using a hard-coded value, CMA_IBOE_PACKET_LIFETIME,
for the PacketLifeTime, as it can not be determined from the network.
This value might not be optimal for all networks.

The cma module supports the function rdma_set_ack_timeout to set the
ACK timeout for a QP associated with a connection. As per IBTA 12.7.34
local ACK timeout = (2 * PacketLifeTime + Local CAâs ACK delay).
Assuming a negligible local ACK delay, we can use
PacketLifeTime = local ACK timeout/2
as a reasonable approximation for RoCE networks.

Otherwise this seems reasonable to me..
Thanks for the review. Sorry about the Change-Id. I will send a v2 patch without it.
