- Upstream version v56 (fate#321506)
This release incorporates the capabilities of the 4.10 kernel. Major
highlights include the new 'daxctl' utility and its 'list' command, as
well as several usability tweaks and cleanups to 'ndctl
create-namespace' and 'ndctl list'.
Commands:
ndctl list: add support for filtering by namespace mode
daxctl list: generically list device-dax instances in a platform
ndctl create-namespace: reconcile namespace size against interleave-width
Tests:
test: sanity check the unit test kernel modules befor running tests
device-dax: extend it to test 4K and 1G alignments in addition to 2M
multi-pmem: check namespace deletion cleanup
Apis:
ndctl_{pfn,dax}_has_align: detect kernels that lack the align attribute
ndctl_{set,get}_private_data: attach private data to a library context
daxctl_region_get_size: retrieve the total dax region size
daxctl_region_get_align: retrieve the physical alignment of the region
daxctl_region_get_{first,next}: enable listing of device-dax regions

Commands:
list: add HPE NVDIMM health reporting
init-labels: initialize a namespace-label index-block
check-labels: validate a namespace-label index-block
create-namespace: fix crash when target region disabled
bash-completion: add {en,dis}able-dimm and {check,init}-labels support

libndctl: test health event notification support
device-dax: validate "invalidate on shutdown" behavior of dax devices

autodetect for mode + alignment".
Commands:
list: add device-dax information
list: add btt size information
create-namespace: fix handling of invalid sector sizes
create-namespace: static analysis fixes
bash-completion: namespace completion enhancements
Tests:
libndctl: updates for pfn and dax autodetect changes
