[PATCH] Lua tasks fail to start. (no replies)

Dearest HAProxy people,

I've been trying out 1.6 dev3 with lua support, and trying to start
lua tasks seems to not be working.

Using this configuration

global
lua-load /lua/lol.lua
debug
maxconn 4096

backend shard_b
server db01 mysql_shard_b:3306

backend shard_a
server db01 mysql_shard_a:3306


listen mysql-cluster
bind 0.0.0.0:8001
mode tcp
balance roundrobin
use_backend shard_b


And this lua function

core.register_task(function()
while true do
core.Alert("LOLOLOLOLOL")
end
end)

I'd always get a timeout error starting the registered function.

The problem lies as far as I can tell in the fact that is possible for
now_ms to not change (is this maybe a problem on my config/system?)
until the expiration check happens, in the resume function that
actually kickstarts the lua task, making HAProxy think that expiration
time for the task is up, if I understand correctly tasks are meant to
never really timeout.

I'm attaching a tiny patch that fixes it for me, but seems rather
naive. It exploits the fact that hlua_timeout_task is set to
TICK_ETERNITY, which might or might not be an okay assumption to make
moving forward.
