[lustre-devel] [PATCH 05/19] lnet: libcfs: add timeout to cfs_race() to fix race

[James Simmons]

From: Alex Zhuravlev <bzzz at whamcloud.com>

there is no guarantee for the branches in cfs_race() to be executed
in strict order, thus it's possible that the second branch (with
cfs_race_state=1) is executed before the first branch and then another
thread executing the first branch gets stuck.

this construction is used for testing only and as a
workaround it's enough to timeout.
