[PATCH v3 16/21] nvmet: Add support for CQT to nvme target

From: Mohamed Khalfella

Date: Fri Feb 13 2026 - 23:31:10 EST


TP4129 KATO Corrections and Clarifications defined CQT (Command Quiesce
Time) which is used along with KATO (Keep Alive Timeout) to set an upper
time limit for attempting Cross-Controller Recovery. CQT is added as a
subsystem attribute that defaults to 0 to maintain the current behavior.
