Subject: base-files: upgrade: don't loop forever trying to kill processes
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ab227d68852c1cb869926057774540bded24d41;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Flinusw.git

base-files: upgrade: don't loop forever trying to kill processes

When processes don't die on SIGKILL (usually because of kernel bugs), it's
better to give up instead of looping forever.

upgraded will trigger a reboot in this case (and if this fails, a hardware
watchdog will eventually time out and reset the system, if present).
