From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 396e287fa2ff46e83ae016cdcb300c3faa3b02f6 upstream. vmbus_teardown_gpadl() can result in infinite wait when it is called on 5 second timeout in vmbus_open(). The issue is caused by the fact that gpadl teardown operation won't ever succeed for an opened channel and the timeout isn't always enough. As a guest, we can always trust the host to respond to our request (and there is nothing we can do if it doesn't). Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
