Subject: [PATCH 3/6] nvme: add per request retry timer
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 11:48:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823084903.193188-4-sagi@grimberg.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260823084903.193188-1-sagi@grimberg.me>
The existing command retry mechanism adds a request to retry
to a retry list and modifies a request-queue (controller) wide
dealyed queue timer.
The issue is that the existing requests in this queue may wait
for longer periods of time as more requests are completed with
a retry crd level.
Instead, add a per-request timer that will allow different
requests retry in a way that is independent of other requests.
