[to-be-updated] kfence-maximize-allocation-wait-timeout-duration.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: kfence: maximize allocation wait timeout duration
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kfence-maximize-allocation-wait-timeout-duration.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
Subject: kfence: maximize allocation wait timeout duration

The allocation wait timeout was initially added because of warnings due to
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y [1].  While the 1 sec timeout is sufficient to
resolve the warnings (given the hung task timeout must be 1 sec or larger)
it may cause unnecessary wake-ups if the system is idle.  [1]
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CADYN=9J0DQhizAGB0-jz4HOBBh+05kMBXb4c0cXMS7Qi5NAJiw@mail.gmail.com

Fix it by computing the timeout duration in terms of the current
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs value.
