Thanks for your kindly comment.

I thought nvme-cli tool would be used mostly by developers, not children 
users. Also thought that it will not need any helps from kernel to abort 
a specified command not just like delete I/O SQ/CQ so that nvme-cli 
could handle this kind of thing.

But, actually there is no limit for anybody to use this interface tool.
I agree what you're saying. So, please skip it.

Thanks,
