In order to test how fast the heartbeat can respond, we measure with the interval set to its minimum. Before we measure though, we want to be sure we start with a fresh pulse, and so wait until any old one is complete. During that wait though, we were continually flushing the work, and so continually re-evaluating to see if the pulse was complete, and each attempt would count as an unresponsive system. If the engine did not complete the request in the couple of busy-spins, it would flag an error. This is unfortunate, so let's not busy-spin waiting for the old heartbeat, but terminate it and start afresh.

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.
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.
