Ok, will do

>>BTW: Can we please drop the "tdr" naming from the scheduler? That is just a timeout functionality and not related to recovery in any way.
We even do not start hardware recovery in a lot of cases now (when wave kill is successfully).

Umm, sounds reasonable, I can rename it to "to" with another patch 

Thanks

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

I'm not sure if the work_tdr is initialized when a maximum timeout is specified. Please double check.

BTW: Can we please drop the "tdr" naming from the scheduler? That is just a timeout functionality and not related to recovery in any way.

We even do not start hardware recovery in a lot of cases now (when wave kill is successfully).

Christian.
