[PATCH RFC 4/5] nvme: add sysfs attribute to change IO timeout per nvme controller

Thu Feb 12 04:09:50 PST 2026
Currently, there is no method to adjust the timeout values
on a per controller basis with nvme I/O queues.
Add an io_timeout attribute to nvme so that different
nvme controllers which may have different timeout
requirements can have custom I/O timeouts set.
