From d5cee48f3e65662051e15c85e4fc1841d72977fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rebecca Cran Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 19:27:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Wait a maximum of 300 seconds for network send/recv in libsa The reason for this change is that currently, a send/recv takes many hours to time out. This is suboptimal in the bootloader because it means for example that NFS will take hours to fail before allowing subsequent access methods such as gzip to be tried. Setting MAXWAIT to 300 seconds (5 minutes) still allows slow connections of 1Mb to be used to download a 30MB kernel file.
