------- Comment From ukri...@us.ibm.com 2016-02-05 14:00 EDT------- The Accelerator Function Unit (AFU) for this new IBM CXL Flash Adapter retains the same host interface as the previous generation. For early prototypes of the new card, the driver with this change behaves exactly as the driver prior to this behaved with the earlier generation card. Therefore, no card specific programming has been added at this time.
Code changes to help cxlflash recognise the new card have been upstreamed. Below are the commit ids in cxlflash and cxl (kernel) respectively. We would like to see them backported to Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial release. a2746fb16e41b7c8f02aa4d2605ecce97abbebbd - cxlflash: Enable device id for future IBM CXL adapter 68adb7bfd66504e97364651fb7dac3f9c8aa8561 - cxl: Enable PCI device ID for future IBM CXL adapter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522403 Title: [Ubuntu 16.04] CAPI flash (cxlflash) driver support for NVME adapter Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Update the cxlflash driver with new features and platform support.
