[RFC 2/7] CDC-WDM: introduce a timeout in flush()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Malicious or defective hardware may cease communication while
flush() is running. In last consequence we need a timeout,
as hardware that remains silent must be ignored.

Making the wait for IO interruptible would not solve the
issue. While it would avoid a hang, it would not allow any progress
and we would end up with an unclosable fd.

The 30 seconds are coming out of thin air.
