As wrote before, a brief explanation on why both are necessary would
be nice. Something like - "the time limit prevents from introducing
excessive latency from softirq handling and the loop limit protects

Please cc Linus and also cc sta...@vger.kernel.org. We definitely
want this backported.
v3 was sent, with updated comments and expanded CC list.
The patch is against 3.9.4, though I assume it will apply
to the upstream kernel easily enough.
I didn't want to add a link to the email thread.. The commit message
and patch has enough info that I think an interested party could find
the email thread easily enough if they needed more history.
And, much of the email thread is me running in circles thinking
I am going insane :)
Thanks,
Ben
