From 5aa3afe107d9099fc0dea2acf82c3e3c8f0f20e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Vyukov Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 07:49:23 +0100 Subject: net: make unregister netdev warning timeout configurable netdev_wait_allrefs() issues a warning if refcount does not drop to 0 after 10 seconds. While 10 second wait generally should not happen under normal workload in normal environment, it seems to fire falsely very often during fuzzing and/or in qemu emulation (~10x slower). At least it's not possible to understand if it's really a false positive or not. Automated testing generally bumps all timeouts to very high values to avoid flake failures. Add net.core.netdev_unregister_timeout_secs sysctl to make the timeout configurable for automated testing systems. Lowering the timeout may also be useful for e.g. manual bisection. The default value matches the current behavior.
