Yes, and I have a working prototype for that. I'm just way to busy with lots of bugfixing at the moment but I plan to get to it in this merge window. I also agree that we can't mark a feature as fully supported until it doesn't conflict with other features. And I'm not going to get start on the PMEM_IMMUTABLE bullshit, please don't even go there folks, it's a dead end. _______________________________________________ Linux-nvdimm mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-nvdimm
