commit 4e7d2a8f0b52abf23b1dc13b3d88bc0923383cd5 upstream. There is a disconnect between the run_command function and the wait_for_input. The wait_for_input has a default timeout of 2 minutes. But if that happens, the run_command loop will exit out to the waitpid() of the executing command. This fails in that it no longer monitors the command, and also, the ssh to the test box can hang when its finished, as it's waiting for the pipe it's writing to to flush, but the loop that reads that pipe has already exited, leaving the command stuck, and the test hangs. Instead, make the default "wait_for_input" of the run_command infinite, and allow the user to override it if they want with a default timeout option "RUN_TIMEOUT". But this fixes the hang that happens when the pipe is full and the ssh session never exits.

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.
