Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kfence: maximize allocation wait timeout duration
From:   Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
To:     elver@google.com, akpm@linux-foundation.org

Precedence: bulk

The allocation wait timeout was initially added because of warnings due
to CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y [1]. While the 1 sec timeout is sufficient
to resolve the warnings (given the hung task timeout must be 1 sec or
larger) it may cause unnecessary wake-ups if the system is idle.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CADYN=9J0DQhizAGB0-jz4HOBBh+05kMBXb4c0cXMS7Qi5NAJiw@mail.gmail.com

Fix it by computing the timeout duration in terms of the current
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs value.
