Sir,

We are pretty clear with the internal working of tmem.
Now as "ephemeral" pages are already de-duplicated in current implementation .

1>>So, we propose to do sharing of "persistent" pages also .
2>>We also propose n/w bipass manager for "tmem" as its not existing currently.

Will it be really useful ?
If yes, it will be implemented within stipulated time frame.

Thank you.
