Subject: [PATCH 3.4 05/43] USB: usbtest: add a timeout for scatter-gather tests

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>

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.
