Upon keep alive completion, nvme_keep_alive_work is scheduled with the same delay every time. If keep alive commands are completing slowly, this may cause a keep alive timeout. The following trace illustrates the issue, taking KATO = 8 and TBKAS off for simplicity: 1. t = 0: run nvme_keep_alive_work, send keep alive 2. t = ε: keep alive reaches controller, controller restarts its keep alive timer 3. t = 4: host receives keep alive completion, schedules nvme_keep_alive_work with delay 4 4. t = 8: run nvme_keep_alive_work, send keep alive Here, a keep alive having RTT of 4 causes a delay of at least 8 - ε between the controller receiving successive keep alives. With ε small, the controller is likely to detect a keep alive timeout. Fix this by calculating the RTT of the keep alive command, and adjusting the scheduling delay of the next keep alive work accordingly.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
