This release incorporates functionality up to the 4.16 kernel, and
a number of bug fixes and improvements.
Highlights include new ACPI error injection DSM support, a variety
of smart enhancements that include getting and setting thresholds,
injecting smart attribute values and flags, support for firmware update,
and fixes for a BTT padding incompatibility.
Commands:
ndctl inject-error - new command for media error injection
ndctl disable-region - check for mounted namespaces
ndctl {create,destroy}-namespace - clarify --force option
ndctl create-namespace - clarify autolabel failures and fallback
ndctl list - use 'fsdax' and 'devdax' modes
ndctl update-firmware - new command for firmware update
ndctl inject-smart - new command for setting smart thresholds
and injecting arrtibutes
Tests:
inject-error: new test for the error injection interfaces
btt-errors: new test for media error handling in the BTT
smart-listen: test for listening for smart triggers
smart-notify: generate smart notifications
hugetlb: test hugetlb faults
btt-pad-incompat: regression test for the old and new versions
of the btt log padding format
update-firmware: test the firmware update process
