Subject: USB: usbtest: add a timeout for scatter-gather tests
From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 32b36eeae6a859670d2939a7d6136cb5e9ed64f8 upstream.
In usbtest, tests 5 - 8 use the scatter-gather library in usbcore
without any sort of timeout. If there's a problem in the gadget or
host controller being tested, the test can hang.
This patch adds a 10-second timeout to the tests, so that they will
fail gracefully with an ETIMEDOUT error instead of hanging.
