** Description changed: [Impact] The support for Intel NVDIMM technology requires both kernel and userspace components. The kernel components have landed in 4.15 and are available in Bionic. In order for users to take advantage of NVDIMMs in their deployments, the following userspace packages are also needed in Bionic: ndctl -- Utility library for managing the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux kernel. Upstream project: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl PMDK -- persistent memory toolkit Upstream project: https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/ This SRU is about ndctl; pmdk is being handled in bug #1781269 [Test Case] + * Install daxctl and ndctl + sudo apt install daxctl ndctl - * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug + * download the two dep8 test scripts: + wget https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/ndctl/plain/debian/tests/daxctl-commands https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/ndctl/plain/debian/tests/ndctl-commands - * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected - package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes - the problem. + * execute them and verify exit status, which should be zero: + sh ./daxctl-commands; echo $? + sh ./ndctl-commands; echo $? + + More detailed testing can be executed if the appropriate hardware is + available. [Regression Potential] * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result of this change. * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event of a regression. * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. [Other Info] * Anything else you think is useful to include * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board * and address these questions in advance
