* NVMe timeout is too short (LP: #1729119)
- nvme: update timeout module parameter type
# uname -r
4.10.0-41-generic
I had no nvme drive at my disposal but the following test should suffice :
# lsmod | grep -i nvme
# modprobe nvme_core io_timeout=123456
# lsmod | grep -i nvme
nvme_core 57344 0
# cat /sys/module/nvme_core/parameters/io_timeout
123456
** Note that it doesn't seems to work at runtime (if the module is already
loaded). It only works when the module haven't been previously loaded for some
reasons **
But I don't see this as a blocker for the current SRU.
root@zesty:~# lsmod | grep -i nvme
nvme_core 57344 0
root@zesty:~# modprobe nvme_core io_timeout=123457
root@zesty:~# cat /sys/module/nvme_core/parameters/io_timeout
123456

Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
Some NVMe operations time out too quickly. The module parameters allow the
timeouts to be extended, but only up to 255s, as the counters are bytes.
[Fix]
The underlying parameters are unsigned ints, so make the module parameters
unsigned ints too, by picking patch
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2017-September/012701.html
(Trusty specific) This also requires picking the patch that converts
the constant into a parameter, which is a clean cherry-pick.
[Regression Potential]
(X/Z/A) Very limited: only types of module parameters are changing, the patch
is easily reviewable.
(Trusty specific) Limited: a module parameter is added and its type is
changed. The patches are easily reviewable.
[Testing]
(Trusty only) Boot tested on a c5.large instance on AWS which uses
NVMe to boot. Verified that the system still boots with the patches,
and that a timeout of 123456s is permitted.
