Indeed, it can be infinite, as I experienced here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2018/09/21/msg024099.html

A umount, vndconfig or fssconfig failing with EAGAIN is indeed
bad, but I doubt you will advocate that freezing the whole system 
forever is better. I have machines where the above described 
scenario became 100% reproductible with the NetBSD 8.0 upgrade, 
this is just a shame.

I will be happy to see you revert my workaround and replace it by
a more approriate fix.
