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).

SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
=============================================================
SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.
Installation
------------
The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install
Or to install into a private user specific location
./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
make
make install
The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
build SPICE
Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
Celt >= 0.5.1.1, < 0.6.0
Pixman >= 0.17.7
OpenSSL
libjpeg
zlib
Cyrus-SASL
The following optional dependancies increase the available
functionality
GE Gui >= 0.6.0, < 0.7.0 (GUI app support)
OpenGL (GUI app support)
Alsa (Linux support)
XRandR >= 1.2 (X11 support)
Xinerama >= 1.0 (X11 support)
libcacard >= 0.1.2 (Smartcard support)
Slirp (Tunnelling support)
Communication
-------------
To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/
To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice
Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.
The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:
