For some selftests, we want to issue requests but delay them going to hardware. Furthermore, we don't want those requests to block indefinitely (or else we may hang the driver and block testing) so we want to employ a timeout. So naturally we want a fence that is automatically signaled by a timer. v2: Add kselftests. v3: Limit the API available to selftests; there isn't an overwhelming reason to export it universally.

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.
