[Bug 1672091] Re: new tool for nvme target configuration in 4.8 on up kernels

[Rafael David Tinoco]

@ddstreet,

I spoke to Server team about this yesterday as we all agreed we should
talk to Linux Blocks Teams (salsa.debian.org/linux-blocks-team/ , and
Bruno Leitao ?) if they have any plans in creating this package
(together with nvme-cli). Idea is that we can try to sync it (hopefully
with no delta) back to 21.04.

We can start in universe in the beginning and, as soon as we're comfy,
do a MIR if that makes sense (just like we recently did with LIO and
targetcli).

Since you're already taking care of LP: #1867366, would you like to ask
Debian project about it or you want me to do ? I can start checking this
in a few days if needed.

Cheers!

Title:
  new tool for nvme target configuration in 4.8 on up kernels

Status in Yakkety Backports:
  Invalid
Status in Zesty Backports:
  Invalid
Status in nvme-cli package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Starting in the 4.8 kernel, nvme is now a subsystem with its own Linux
  kernel target (similar to iscsi and LIO).  The nvme target has it's
  own configuration tool, which makes things much, much easier to
  configure than manually playing with /sys/kernel/config/nvme files.
  Together with nvme-cli you have a complete NVMe-over-Fabrics
  configuration and execution solution in Linux OSs.

  Please create a new package for nvmetcli from the following repo:

  	git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/nvmetcli.git
  	ssh://git.infradead.org/srv/git/users/hch/nvmetcli.git

  Thanks!
