[PATCH v1] ata: libata-eh: Add timeout table entry for STANDBY IMMEDIATE
From: Xingui Yang
Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 23:59:03 EST
ATA_CMD_STANDBYNOW1 is not in the ata_eh_cmd_timeout_table and falls
back to the 5s default (ATA_EH_CMD_DFL_TIMEOUT), which is too short
for some drives to complete a STANDBY IMMEDIATE command issued from
ata_dev_power_set_standby() via ata_exec_internal():
ata1.00: qc timeout after 5000 msecs (cmd 0xe0)
ata1.00: STANDBY IMMEDIATE failed (err_mask=0x4)
Reuse the existing ata_eh_flush_timeouts for this command, as a drive
entering standby may need to flush its internal cache, making the flush
timeout a natural fit.
