libnvme-1.7.1

[Douglas R. Reno]

New minor version

[Xi Ruoyao]

There are some test failures: ​https://github.com/linux-nvme/libnvme/issues/762

(The report mentions two failures, but I've only seen one of them on my BLFS system.)

It seems a real issue and the fix is merged as a part of ​https://github.com/linux-nvme/libnvme/pull/763.

Now version 1.7.1

When I run the tests I get:

Changes in version 1.7:

The highlights of this release are

• allocated payloads aligned
• refactoring and improvements of RAE handling in get log pages
• auto cleanup of resources
• build instruction update and improving build situation for older distros
• support for TP8018
• use sysfs only for topology scan

The last point addresses a long standing problem. Whenever 'nvme list' is used it could add error log entries for certain devices. With the corresponding kernel changes this will not happen anymore. It also unlocks some possible new features. Note this depends on the upcoming 6.8 kernel.
