[21.04 FEAT] NVMe stand-alone dump support - s390-tools part

[bugproxy]

Once the system can IPL from an NVMe device it makes sense to support stand-alone dump to the NVMe device as well.
The support is likely to be similar to the SCSI stand-alone dumper, the first few mega-bytes need to be saved into the HSA and a specialized dump kernel for NVMe is loaded.

This feature is for the s390-tools part.

Package level s390-tools >=2.15. Once git-commits available, info will take place

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package s390-tools - 2.15.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
s390-tools (2.15.1-0ubuntu2) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * Package libekmfweb library.

    are desired in both packages that ship hooks.

s390-tools (2.14.0-2ubuntu1) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1903688). Remaining changes:
    - lower priority to optional

    - load monwriter kernel module for mon_statd/mon_fsstatd
    - do not run dumpconf in lxc
    - ziomon change exit code to 0 for version and help
    - add zkey initramfs hook
    - change zkey default back to argon2i
    - drop patch that disables building osasnmpd
    - drop udevadm-path.patch to init script, systemd units are used instead
    - enable hardening
    - enable initramfs & dracut integration
    - setup users/groups for mon_*, iucvterm, zkey
    - install more utilities and zdev initramfs integration
    - setup crashkernel integration
  * Update debian/not-installed file for additional files in debian/tmp
  * debian/rules:
    - drop unneeded "--parallel --with systemd" dh args
    - clean zipl/boot/.stage*.d files
    - avoid dh_installinitramfs to install additional triggers
  * s390-tools.docs: ship CHANGELOG.md (as Debian does)

Due to the fact, that the package version is invalid.
This feature will be moved to 21.10 by another ticket.
Please drop that from Release Notes of 21.04.

I don't specifically see anything relating to this bug report in the release notes for Ubuntu 21.04. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi Brian, that was a message to me and the upcoming summary on the new features I usually do.
When it comes close to a new release, I run though all 'ubuntu-z-systems' features ("[FEAT]") for that particular release and add a summary about the s390x specific features to the release notes.
This just means I should skip this ticket for the Hirsute / 21.04 release notes (that do not yet exist anyway).
