commit c782a8c43e94ba6c09e9de2d69b5e3a5840ce61c upstream. After issuing a request an endless loop was used to read the completion state from memory which is asynchronously updated by the ZIP coprocessor. Add an upper bound to the retry attempts to prevent a CPU getting stuck forever in case of an error. Additionally, add a read memory barrier and a small delay between the reading attempts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
