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.
Changes v3-v4 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20230518183311.3224326-1-ushankar@purestorage.com/):
- Patch 1: fix style, improve readability, include helper from patch 3
- Patch 2: refactor to remove need for WRITE_ONCE/barriers
- Patch 3: fix comment style, move helper to patch 1
Changes v2-v3 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20230424232225.1975793-1-ushankar@purestorage.com/):
- Patch 3: add a warning log line for long keepalive RTT
Changes v1-v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20230417225558.2890062-1-ushankar@purestorage.com/):
- Patch 2: fix indentation, set start_time even when stats disabled
