There is currently no timeout to the resource and lock acquiring loops. We printed warnings and depended on user sending a signal to the waiting process to stop the waiting. This doesn't work very well when wait happens out of a work queue. The simplest example of that is PCI probe. When user loads the module and card is in a broken state modprobe will wait forever and signals sent to it will not actually reach the probing thread. Make sure all wait loops have a time out. Set the upper wait time to 60 seconds to stay on the safe side. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
