While reviewing the Linux KATO implementation in an attempt to better
understand the current NVMe Keep Alive specification, we found a
few issues in the host implementation that could contribute to spurious
Keep Alive timeouts being detected by controllers.

Uday Shankar (3):
  nvme: double KA polling frequency to avoid KATO with TBKAS on
  nvme: check IO start time when deciding to defer KA
  nvme: improve handling of long keep alives
