+Subject: [PATCH] red_worker: decrease the timeout when flushing commands and waiting for the client.
+
+150 seconds is way too long period for holding the guest driver and
+waiting for a response for the client. This timeout was 15 seconds, but
+when off-screen surfaces ware introduced it was arbitrarily multiplied by
+10.
+Other existing related bugs emphasize why it is important to decrease
+the timeout:
+(1) 994211 - the qxl driver waits for an async-io reponse for 60 seconds
+    and after that, it switches to sync-io mode. Not only that the
+    driver might use invalid data (since it didn't wait for the query to
+    complete), falling back to sync-io mode introduces other errors.
+(2) 994175 - spice server sometimes doesn't recognize that the client
+             has disconnected.
+(3) There might be cache inconsistency between the client and the server,
+and then the display channel waits indefinitely for a cache item (e.g., bug
+977998)
+
+This patch changes the timeout to 30 seconds. I tested it under wifi +emulating 2.5Mbps network,
+together with playing video on the guest and changing resolutions in a loop. The timeout didn't expired
+during my tests.
+
+This bug is related to rhbz#964136 (but from rhbz#964136 info it is still not
+clear why the client wasn't responsive).
