![]() - Fix the visibility of the region 'align' attribute. The new unit tests for region alignment handling caught a corner case where the alignment cannot be specified if the region is converted from static to dynamic provisioning at runtime. - Add support for device health retrieval for the persistent memory supported by the papr_scm driver. This includes both the standard sysfs "health flags" that the nfit persistent memory driver publishes and a mechanism for the ndctl tool to retrieve a health-command payload. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEf41QbsdZzFdA8EfZHtKRamZ9iAIFAl7tMD8ACgkQHtKRamZ9 iAJNdA//aoULVhq/ZEo+tiPPXwgC9yHPJJ+Oe3+pcV2saWNeSBuHu047IdSQayRi 6VZgsQ3lLRlEmk5aUbK00T84tVtwN20fppw1H4XyqfyGg4hmW7O5HomY8ZyOAETc 0lEJet3+jf4Ym36BxBvfFTU9fOwtvLum5EHUw3Dc1Xl7UZVtp2zb0lklZx5xU/xr /nKNkPktvj7ENtmIOKegPFC/eSeKtOmD9shzjFygLeG52ZU1n+TEvhm4LCUU7Z+Y e5s/Ny3LUWzPY+bESXxTI1XpLthWOR6T+yPkNp6JoZHzk3P6vKawMGzRrvI1bUai hOj7Bf6BeNnKqIXIIZOXO8/ISgveHbnvUp6Kk5Lq5OYzPuGn81zZhen3EfHkB0y2 Dc+xyceDsTeTlu2RGcrGrV60hCo2+5DqSLodu+kUAX6btvhtdrEgt3kmWAZSctk2 7gHy8H+54p5ocXS+eDqafX6qYGmQIdGbtfTtiTuZJKIIH+Dsh9+mcu3KtH1AwtpN bV+/sbjuWOMmMBNnlVRtqhy1xA9bSVSaodthl+iWpw1nKXFPSKdl3w8ngSeZsfFD eZnGa4hO5G02s96gozh1n61ye8KFJLk8gCjx100PQKCemvIWTWLIzlh2NjPnCdTx SAI0vNfJgpmNZfb62NHYAGFwNwvOn4b7j9xFSqtHVh7+Vuyt6JM= =qVy4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "A feature (papr_scm health retrieval) and a fix (sysfs attribute visibility) for v5.8. Vaibhav explains in the merge commit below why missing v5.8 would be painful and I agreed to try a -rc2 pull because only cosmetics kept this out of -rc1 and his initial versions were posted in more than enough time for v5.8 consideration: 'These patches are tied to specific features that were committed to customers in upcoming distros releases (RHEL and SLES) whose time-lines are tied to 5.8 kernel release. Being able to track the health of an nvdimm is critical for our customers that are running workloads leveraging papr-scm nvdimms. Missing the 5.8 kernel would mean missing the distro timelines and shifting forward the availability of this feature in distro kernels by at least 6 months' Summary: - Fix the visibility of the region 'align' attribute.
