From: Zhu Yanjun <yanjun....@linux.dev> Some devices emulate the virtio_net hardwares. When virtio_net driver sends commands to the emulated hardware, normally the hardware needs time to response. Sometimes the time is very long. Thus, the following will appear. Then the whole system will hang. The similar problems also occur in Intel NICs and Mellanox NICs. As such, the similar solution is borrowed from them. A timeout value is added and the timeout value as large as possible is set to ensure that the driver gets the maximum possible response from the hardware.
