With a broken GPU we expect it to fail during the initial GPU setup where do a couple of context switches to record the defaults. This is a task that takes a few milliseconds even on the slowest of devices, but we may have to wait 60s for hangcheck to give in and declare the machine inoperable. In this a case where any gpu hang is unacceptable, both from a timeliness and practical standpoint. We can therefore set a timeout on our wait-for-idle that is shorter than the hangcheck (which may be up to 60s for a declaring a wedged driver) and so detect the broken GPU much more quickly during driver load (and so prevent stalling userspace for ages).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
