When a command completes, we set a flag which will skip sending a keep alive at the next run of nvme_keep_alive_work when TBKAS is on. However, if the command was submitted long ago, it's possible that the controller may have also restarted its keep alive timer (as a result of receiving the command) long ago. The following trace demonstrates the issue, assuming TBKAS is on and KATO = 8 for simplicity: 1. t = 0: submit I/O commands A, B, C, D, E 2. t = 0.5: commands A, B, C, D, E reach controller, restart its keep alive timer 3. t = 1: A completes 4. t = 2: run nvme_keep_alive_work, see recent completion, do nothing 5. t = 3: B completes 6. t = 4: run nvme_keep_alive_work, see recent completion, do nothing 7. t = 5: C completes 8. t = 6: run nvme_keep_alive_work, see recent completion, do nothing 9. t = 7: D completes 10. t = 8: run nvme_keep_alive_work, see recent completion, do nothing 11. t = 9: E completes At this point, 8.5 seconds have passed without restarting the controller's keep alive timer, so the controller will detect a keep alive timeout. Fix this by checking the IO start time when deciding to defer sending a keep alive command. Only set comp_seen if the command started after the most recent run of nvme_keep_alive_work. With this change, the completions of B, C, and D will not set comp_seen and the run of nvme_keep_alive_work at t = 4 will send a keep alive.
