Description
It might be just a matter of documentation but I failed to find: how to mark test for xfail only if it times out (but still fail otherwise) and ideally only for some other condition (e.g. if on_nfs bool var set).
Thank you in advance!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the pytest-timeout documentation and pytest's xfail behavior. Document how to mark a test as expected to fail only on timeout, while preserving failures for other causes and optionally applying the behavior under a condition such as an on_nfs variable.
