[PATCH RFC 2/5] nvme: add sysfs attribute to change admin timeout per nvme controller

Maurizio Lombardi mlombard at redhat.com
Thu Feb 12 04:09:48 PST 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.
