Hi Andi,

Thanks for the review.

I agree with your points. Silently clamping the timeout violates the userspace API expectations, and adding arbitrary limits to restrict a privileged user is indeed not the right approach.

I will drop this patch and handle the timeout constraints locally in my testing environment.

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Mingyu Wang
