I agree with it. I tried that but it wasn't straightforward because it has to come all the way from rdma cm handler level.
While discussing with Max and Idan also we talked that we want to make it configfs for each nvmet_host.
So this is starting point. Let users use it for a while and in near future, we will make it a configfs per host or subsystem parameter as incremental patch.
