From: Zongmin Zhou <[email protected]> try_count is initialized to 5 but never decremented in the retry path, making the `if (try_count)` check always true. If all NACL shared memory hfence entries remain in the pending state after sync, the function loops forever, causing a soft lockup. Decrement try_count on each retry so the fallback warning and return become reachable.
