** 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: - * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and + ndctl -- Utility library for managing the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux kernel. + Upstream project: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl - * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release. + PMDK -- persistent memory toolkit + Upstream project: https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/ - * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an - explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. + This SRU is about ndctl; pmdk is being handled in bug #1781269 [Test Case] - * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug + * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug - * 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. + * 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.
