The default timeout for selftests tests is 45 seconds. Although
we already have 13 settings for tests of about 96 sefltests which
use a timeout greater than this, we want to try to avoid encouraging
more tests to forcing a higher test timeout as selftests strives to
run all tests quickly. Selftests also uses the timeout as a non-fatal
error. Only tests runners which have control over a system would know
if to treat a timeout as fatal or not.
To help with all this:
o Enhance documentation to avoid future increases of insane timeouts
o Add the option to allow overriding the default timeout with test
runners with a command line option

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.
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.
