Dan Williams 40221d56ae nfit/ars: Allow root to busy-poll the ARS state machine
commit 5479b2757f upstream.

The ARS implementation implements exponential back-off on the poll
interval to prevent high-frequency access to the DIMM / platform
interface. Depending on when the ARS completes the poll interval may
exceed the completion event by minutes. Allow root to reset the timeout
each time it probes the status. A one-second timeout is still enforced,
but root can otherwise can control the poll interval.

Fixes: bc6ba80858 ("nfit, address-range-scrub: rework and simplify ARS...")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
