I've copied Warner Losh (imp@) who has also been doing some work on nvme(4) in case he is aware of something going on here. For NVMe-over-fabrics target support, we at Intel are working on an SPDK userspace NVMe-over-fabrics target that should work on FreeBSD. I am not aware of any in-tree FreeBSD NVMe-over-fabrics target work going on however. > Is there a parallel effort happening or planned to happen as soon as the > spec becomes available? > Is there a plan/facility to allow the GPL Linux code ported to FreeBSD? > Not really. I think we would need the Linux code relicensed to BSD (or dual GPL/BSD) to allow porting to FreeBSD.
