Update the MCTP socket timeout
On the miniBMC side when the IOC is being reset, the IOC
config page read can take longer. Currently the total timeout
for the config page read is set to 6 seconds. This config page
read happens every time miniBMC receives redfish requests for
SATA drive resources. The redfish response timeout on the BMC
is set to 1 second. So in any case, if IOC goes of reset, the
config page read can easily take more than 2-3 seconds and
therefore BMC can timeout. Eventually miniBMC and BMC
communication can go out of sync.
This can happen when miniBMC is receiving SATA drive resource requests
while Host is booting up. During host bootup IOC resets 3 times.
So update the BMC MCTP socket timeout to a safe value.
Tested:
Ran repeated redfish queries for SATA drive resources for
over 8 hours on a machine where the Host is bootlooping and on every
boot it is resetting IOC 3 times. No issue of miniBMC and BMC going
out of sync is observed.
