When running in Azure, disks may be connected to a Linux VM with read/write caching enabled. If a VM panics and issues a VMbus UNLOAD request to Hyper-V, the response is delayed until all dirty data in the disk cache is flushed. In extreme cases, this flushing can take 10's of seconds, depending on the disk speed and the amount of dirty data. If kdump is configured for the VM, the current 10 second timeout in vmbus_wait_for_unload() may be exceeded, and the UNLOAD complete message may arrive well after the kdump kernel is already running, causing problems. Note that no problem occurs if kdump is not enabled because Hyper-V waits for the cache flush before doing a reboot through the BIOS/UEFI code. Fix this problem by increasing the timeout in vmbus_wait_for_unload() to 100 seconds. Also output periodic messages so that if anyone is watching the serial console, they won't think the VM is completely hung.
