Fixes: ndctl/dimm: Attempt an abort upon firmware-update-busy status ndctl/dimm: Fix submit_abort_firmware()
ndctl: release v71
This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.10 kernel. Highlights include support for the new device-dax subdivision functionality added in Linux in v5.10, including ways to create smaller devdax devices using daxctl/libdaxctl, as well as creating, listing, and restoring from a config dump, 'mappings' on these devices. Other updates include several static analysis fixups, reworking the license identification scheme for different sub-components, and a fix for the reconfigure-in-place workflow which tries to retain device names.

ndctl: release v69
This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.8 kernel. Highlights include support for 'PAPR' NVDIMMs, a build fix for zero-length array warnings in GCC10, a new option for ndctl-monitor allowing for a timeout for epoll, and misc unit test and documentation fixes. Commands: monitor: add a new timeout option for polling list: skip region filtering if numa_node is absent {read,write}-infoblock: set a default alignment based on platform list/others: support for PAPR NVDIMMs Tests: align.sh: fix region selection, and label init expectation APIs: ndctl_bus_has_of_node ndctl_bus_is_papr_scm ndctl_region_has_numa
ndctl: release v68
This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.6 kernel. Highlights for this release include new commands to read-infoblock and write-infoblock, improvements and tests related to alignment constraints, misc build/compilation related fixes, and misc usability and documentation fixes. Commands: zero-labels: display an error if regions are active destroy-namespace: fix seed namespace accounting list: drop named list objects from verbose listing *-namespace: emit better errors on failure read-infoblock: new command to read an infoblock write-infoblock: new command to create and write an infoblock Tests: add bus-id parameter for start-scrub/wait-scrub operation udate dax-dev to handle multiple e820 ranges exercise sub-section sized namespace creation/deletion new test for misaligned namespaces labels: test for 'failed to track' APIs: ndctl_namespace_get_target_node ndctl_namespace_is_configuration_idle ndctl_region_get_align ndctl_region_get_target_node ndctl_region_set_align
ndctl: release v67
This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.4 kernel, and adds a number of bug fixes, and improvements. Highlights include small changes for PowerPC compatibility, improvements to the dax.sh unit test to detect failures in mapping huge pages, support for the 'security frozen' attribute, user experience improvements for the daxctl-reconfigure-device command, including an option to specify movable vs. non-movable state for onlining memory, and an option to allow create-namespaces to create a maximal configuration until it exhausts all available region capacity.
