For a long time the cdev read/write interface had this strange idea that userspace had to read the result within 60 seconds otherwise it is discarded. Perhaps this made sense under some older locking regime, but in the modern kernel it is not required and is just dangerous. Since something may be relying on this, double the timeout and print a warning. We can remove the code in a few years, but this should be enough to prevent new users.

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.
