I have a series of patches I've been working on locally that I've been= trying to get out for review a few patches at a time. But after Paul and = I discussed some of the interfaces last week, we're going to change how the= pmem file is opened. libreduce is going to do that now rather than the us= er of the library. I'm reworking those interfaces now and will have 5 hour= s on planes tomorrow to wrap up those patches and get them out to GerritHub= for review. -Jim =EF=BB=BFOn 11/12/18, 4:07 PM, "SPDK on behalf of Luse, Paul E" wrote: Hi Anand, = Thanks for asking!
