I've applied the set, but had to revert it, since it takes too long.

real	1m40.124s
user	0m0.375s
sys	0m14.521s

Myself and Daniel run the test semi-manually when we apply patches.
Adding 2 extra minutes of wait time is unnecessary.
Especially since most of it is idle time.
Please find a way to fix tests differently.
btw I don't see any failures today. Not sure what is being fixed
by incresing a timeout.

Also please mention [PATCH bpf-next] in the subject when you respin.
Thanks!
