indeed, we will ask you for a right branch once we have things in place ...

we need to target nvme-tcp blktests, I believe we can't skip any of those
tests, if needed we can do some optimizations on testing side to speed up
things ..

sounds good ..

Thanks for the clarification, we will get back to you before mid next week.

We are actively building and running blktests so we are committed to
testing.

My other question is how can we make progress on getting this
code merge ? (assuming that we do all the above, but it will take some time
to build the infra) IOW, can we get this code merge before we build above
infrastructure ?

If we can, which repo it should go through ? nvme or netdev ?
