PMDK 1.11.0

[ppbb...@gmail.com]

We've just released a new version of PMDK. I'd like to thank everyone who contributed. You can see the list of notable changes below:

This release:

• Adds new APIs for libpmem2, most notably there are new functions to shrink and extend an existing reservation and a new iterator API for mappings contained within an existing reservation. There's also a new function to retrieve a numa node for a source.
• Makes the pmemobj_open() and pmemobj_close() functions from libpmemobj thread-safe, making it easier to correctly manage persistent memory pools in a parallel environment.
• Introduces a new API in libpmemobj to globally change the method of assigning arenas to threads. The default is to rely on an OS per-thread key to store arena information, and this release introduces an option to avoid the use of thread-local keys by simply using one global arena for all threads in a pool.

Other changes and notable bug fixes:

• pmem2: don't force smaller alignment for fsdax mappings
• rpmem: various fixes for powerpc64le
• doc: fix documentation of pmem_is_pmem()
• common: fix various minor problems found by static analysis

This release introduces no changes to the on-media layout and is fully compatible with the previous version of PMDK.

As always, this release is available on github: https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/releases/tag/1.11.0

Hi,

I cloned this version from github and compiled it using make. I used the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/pmem/pmdk 

$ cd pmdk

$ make

I am seeing the following errors on invoking make

make -C  libpmemblk

make[3]: Entering directory '/home/suvam/Persistent Memory/pmdk/src/libpmempool'

make[3]: *** libpmemblk: No such file or directory.  Stop.

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/suvam/Persistent Memory/pmdk/src/libpmempool'

make[2]: *** [../Makefile.inc:268: ../nondebug/Persistent/../libpmemblk/libpmemblk_unscoped.o] Error 2

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/suvam/Persistent Memory/pmdk/src/libpmempool'

make[1]: *** [Makefile:147: libpmempool] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/suvam/Persistent Memory/pmdk/src'

make: *** [Makefile:58: all] Error 2

I am using Ubuntu 21.04. Can anyone help me out on this?

Hi,

If I had to guess the problem you are encountering is due to the space you are using in the pmdk directory path - `make` doesn't handle that very well.
