The original driver implementation used the doorbell timeout for the
Mailbox Interface Ready bit to piggy back off of, since the latter does
not have a defined timeout. This functionality, introduced in commit
8adaf747c9 ("cxl/mem: Find device capabilities"), needs improvement as
the recent "Add Mailbox Ready Time" ECN timeout indicates that the
mailbox ready time can be significantly longer that 2 seconds.
While the specification limits the maximum timeout to 256s, the cxl_pci
driver gives up on the mailbox after 60s. This value corresponds with
important timeout values already present in the kernel. A module
parameter is provided as an emergency override and represents the
default Linux policy for all devices.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
