I fully agree. Also please make that user limit settable use
module_param too, not only sysfs. I recently had the pleasure to deal
with a failing disk which started to spew errors already on device
probing and it somewhat annoyed me that that slowed down boot up time
that much. Perhaps the default during device probing should be also
lower?
Adding global timeout now. Regarding the boot time exception, which
version was it and do you have logs?
