Ugh. I'd have much preferred to see this during the merge window, but the code looks straightforward and harmless enough. Linus

[1] Yeah, sorry for not providing an actual ack, I didn't realise you were planning to send it for 5.8. The arch parts of that series are pretty boring plumbing of hypervisor calls, so the important details were all the libnvdimm related issues IMO. So please consider this a belated ack and thanks for getting it merged. cheers
Hi Linus, please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/libnvdimm-for-5.8-rc2 ...to receive a feature (papr_scm health retrieval) and a fix (sysfs attribute visibility) for v5.8. Vaibhav explains in the merge commit below why missing v5.8 would be painful and I agreed to try a -rc2 pull because only cosmetics kept this out of -rc1 and his initial versions were posted in more than enough time for v5.8 consideration. === These patches are tied to specific features that were committed to customers in upcoming distros releases (RHEL and SLES) whose time-lines are tied to 5.8 kernel release. Being able to track the health of an nvdimm is critical for our customers that are running workloads leveraging papr-scm nvdimms. Missing the 5.8 kernel would mean missing the distro timelines and shifting forward the availability of this feature in distro kernels by at least 6 months. === I notice that these do not have an ack from Michael, but I had been assuming that he was deferring this to a libnvdimm subsystem decision ever since v7 back at the end of May where he said "I don't have strong opinions about the user API, it's really up to the nvdimm folks." [1] This pull request includes v13 of papr_scm set, and it looks good to me. Please consider pulling, I would not normally have broached asking for this exception, but Vaibhav made sure to have less than 24 hour turn around on all final review comments. This has been in -next all week with no reported issues.

The new unit tests for region alignment handling caught a corner case where the alignment cannot be specified if the region is converted from static to dynamic provisioning at runtime. - Add support for device health retrieval for the persistent memory supported by the papr_scm driver. This includes both the standard sysfs "health flags" that the nfit persistent memory driver publishes and a mechanism for the ndctl tool to retrieve a health-command payload. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Williams (1): Merge branch 'for-5.8/papr_scm' into libnvdimm-for-next Vaibhav Jain (6): powerpc: Document details on H_SCM_HEALTH hcall seq_buf: Export seq_buf_printf powerpc/papr_scm: Fetch nvdimm health information from PHYP powerpc/papr_scm: Improve error logging and handling papr_scm_ndctl() ndctl/papr_scm,uapi: Add support for PAPR nvdimm specific methods powerpc/papr_scm: Implement support for PAPR_PDSM_HEALTH Vishal Verma (1): nvdimm/region: always show the 'align' attribute Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-papr-pmem | 27 ++ Documentation/powerpc/papr_hcalls.rst | 46 ++- arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/papr_pdsm.h | 132 ++++++++ arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c | 420 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- drivers/nvdimm/region_devs.c | 14 +- include/uapi/linux/ndctl.h | 1 + lib/seq_buf.c | 1 + 7 files changed, 618 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-papr-pmem create mode 100644 arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/papr_pdsm.h
