[PATCH] Time out for possible dead loops during queued invalidation wait

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Wed May 20 2009 - 13:43:21 EST


Two loops in qi_submit_sync() do not have time out. If hardware can not finish
the queued invalidation for some reason, the loops could end up in dead loops
without any hint for what is going on. I add time out for the loops and report
warning when time out happens.
