Do you mean nvme_disable_io_queues()? If yes, this one has been handled
by wait_for_completion_io_timeout() already, and looks the block timeout
can be disabled simply. Or are there others?

Yeah, this part is much more complicated than I thought.

I think it is a good topic to discuss in the coming LSF/MM, and the NVMe
timeout(EH) may need to be refactored/cleaned up, and current issues
should be addressed in clean way.

Guys, are there other issues wrt. NVMe timeout & reset except for the
above?
