Fix issues with deferred_probe_timeout being non-zero

[PATCH v1 0/2] Fix issues with deferred_probe_timeout being non-zero

Posted by Saravana Kannan 3 years, 11 months ago

Setting deferred_probe_timeout to a non-zero default used to cause
issues with NFS rootfs. But the fix for that is causing other problem.
So revert the fix and set the default deferred_probe_timeout back to
zero.

Most of the Cc list if from commit 35a672363ab3. Please let me know if
you want to be removed from future patches related to
deferred_probe_timeout and NFS rootfs issues.
