[PATCH V4 2/9] nvme: add sysfs attribute to change admin timeout per nvme controller

Maurizio Lombardi mlombard at redhat.com
Fri May 8 06:33:28 PDT 2026


Currently, there is no method to adjust the timeout values
on a per controller basis with nvme admin queues.
Add an admin_timeout attribute to nvme so that different
nvme controllers which may have different timeout
requirements can have custom admin timeouts set.
