[bitbake-devel] serv/db: Fix looping upon database locked issues

[Richard Purdie]

If the database is locked we will get an immediate error indicating so,
there is no retry timeout. The looping code is therefore useless, the loop
count is near instantly exceeded.

Using a time based retry means we can wait a sensible time, then gracefully
exit.
