Thanks for reporting. Sorry for the delay, but I queued the patch for
4.3 yesterday.

The patch will not go into the stable kernel trees. This is somehow more
of a feature than a bug. The timeout works as it was designed. This
patch just makes the timeout handling more intuitive for the user.

I hope this is fine for you.

Markus
