Esto se deb\u00eda a que la llamada de inicio ip_auto_config() agotaba el tiempo de espera a que aparecieran las interfaces de red cuando deferred_probe_timeout no era cero. Si bien ip_auto_config() llama a wait_for_device_probe() para asegurarse de que cualquier sonda diferida que se est\u00e9 ejecutando actualmente funcione o la sonda asincr\u00f3nica finalice, eso no era suficiente para explicar los dispositivos que se aplazaban hasta deferred_probe_timeout. El commit 35a672363ab3 (\"driver core: Ensure wait_for_device_probe() waits Until the deferred_probe_timeout fires\") intent\u00f3 solucionar eso asegur\u00e1ndose de que wait_for_device_probe() espere a que deferred_probe_timeout expire antes de regresar. Sin embargo, si wait_for_device_probe() se llama desde el contexto kernel_init(): - Antes de deferred_probe_initcall() [2], hace que el proceso de arranque se cuelgue debido a un punto muerto. - Despu\u00e9s de deferred_probe_initcall() [3], impide que kernel_init() contin\u00fae hasta que deferred_probe_timeout expire y supere el punto de deferred_probe_timeout que est\u00e1 tratando de esperar a que el espacio de usuario cargue m\u00f3dulos.
