[PATCH V5 3/7] nvme: add sysfs attribute to change admin timeout per nvme controller

Maurizio Lombardi mlombard at redhat.com
Thu May 14 01:32:51 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.

The admin timeout is also applied to the fabrics queue (fabrics_q).
The fabrics queue is utilized for fabric-specific administrative and
control operations, such as Connect and Property Get/Set commands.
