Hi Rajat,

Thanks for bringing this up.

I would like to request a FFE for the LVM+nvmet patches.

They had a small bug that was detected by the WIP tempest CI job which
got fixed a while back, but I've been fighting the normal CI job with
spurious errors since then.

Now they all have +1 from CI and are ready to merge.

These patches add new features to the LVM driver over NVMe-oF, like
native multipathing and sharing targets. Thanks to those any developer
will be able to work on the NVMe-oF os-brick code without needing a high
end storage array, and we'll be able to have CI jobs that can exercise
those code paths as well.

Cheers,
Gorka.
