struct sock's sk_rcvtimeo is initialized to
LONG_MAX/MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT in sock_init_data. Calling
mod_delayed_work with a timeout of LONG_MAX causes spurious execution of
the work function. timer->expires is set equal to jiffies + LONG_MAX.
When timer_base->clk falls behind the current value of jiffies,
the delta between timer_base->clk and jiffies + LONG_MAX causes the
expiration to be in the past. Returning early from strp_start_timer if
timeo == LONG_MAX solves this problem.
Found while testing net/tls_sw recv path.

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.
