[PATCHv3 0/2] nvme: sanitize KATO setting

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi all,

as reserved tag allocation issues are solved with a different patchset,
here are just the bits to sanitize and expose the KATO value to sysfs.
Exposing it to sysfs will allow userspace to identify persistent discovery
controllers (which will have a non-zero KATO value); a patch for that
has been sent to the nvme-cli github repository.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.

[PATCH 1/2] nvme: sanitize KATO setting

[Hannes Reinecke]

According to the NVMe base spec the KATO commands should be sent
at half of the KATO interval, to properly account for round-trip
times.
As we now will only ever send one KATO command per connection we
can easily use the recommended values.
This also fixes a potential issue where the request timeout for
the KATO command does not match the value in the connect command,
which might be causing spurious connection drops from the target.

This should have been an inline if added at all, and use proper
formatting, as well as avoiding the shift obsfucation.

I think the best is to just move this into the only caller, where
we also know that ctrl->kato can't be 0 due to the check in
nvme_start_keep_alive:

/*
 * Recommended frequency for KATO commands per  NVMe 1.4 section 7.12.1:
 *
 *     The host should send Keep Alive commands at half of the
 *     Keep Alive Timeout accounting for transport roundtrip times [..].
*/
static inline void nvme_queue_keep_alive_work(struct nvme_ctrl *ctrl)
{
	queue_delayed_work(nvme_wq, &ctrl->ka_work, ctrl->kato * HZ / 2);
}

Also please keep this helper inside of core.c.

Agreed.

[PATCH 2/2] nvme: add 'kato' sysfs attribute

[Hannes Reinecke]

Add a 'kato' controller sysfs attribute to display the current
keep-alive timeout value (if any). This allows userspace to identify
persistent discovery controllers, as these will have a non-zero
KATO value.
