Full Changelog: v2.2.2...v2.3

v2.3 Release Candidate 5

Summary

Bug fixes:

• Fix subsysnqn comparison (TP8013). Discovery controllers can be configured with either the well-known NQN (nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery) or with a unique NQN (per TP8013). Therefore, when comparing a candidate connection to an existing one, we must consider the two forms of NQN.

What's Changed

• GitHub: Speed up workflows by removing unneeded steps by @martin-belanger in #386
• GitHub: Improve workflow speed (pylint) by @martin-belanger in #387
• udev: Fix subsysnqn comparison (TP8013) by @martin-belanger in #388

Full Changelog: v2.3-rc4...v2.3-rc5

v2.3 Release Candidate 4

Summary

Bug fixes:

• Improve algorithm to detect if an existing connection can be reused

What's Changed

• udev: FC/Loop - use case-insensitive comparison for traddr by @martin-belanger in #381
• github actions: Change the name of one of the steps by @martin-belanger in #382
• iputil: Reduce amount of netlink requests to the kernel by @martin-belanger in #383
• udev: Optimize uevent handling by @martin-belanger in #384
• Improve algorithm to see if we can reuse existing connections by @martin-belanger in #385

Full Changelog: v2.3-rc3...v2.3-rc4

v2.3 Release Candidate 3

Summary

Bug fixes:

• Take Host NQN into account when identifying connections. The Host NQN used for Boot from SAN (BFS) connections may be different from the Host NQN used after boot (i.e. /etc/nvme/hostnqn). This is important so that a BFS connection doesn't get reused after boot, but instead a new connection with a different Host NQN is created.

What's Changed

• trid: Take Host NQN into account by @martin-belanger in #379

Full Changelog: v2.3-rc2...v2.3-rc3

v2.3 Release Candidate 2

Summary

New features:

• Add connectivity checker to verify that IP addresses reported by Avahi are actually reachable.
• Detect IP addresses duplicated on multiple interfaces. This is to identify network mis-configuration.

Bug fixes:

• Do not delete and recreate DC objects on kernel events indicating that an nvme device associated to a discovery controller was removed by the kernel. This results in cached discovery log pages (DLP) being flushed. Instead, simply trigger a connection retry while keeping the DLP intact.

What's Changed

• build(deps): bump docker/metadata-action from 4.5.0 to 4.6.0 by @dependabot in #375
• build(deps): bump docker/build-push-action from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1 by @dependabot in #376
• v2.3-rc2 by @martin-belanger in #377

Full Changelog: v2.3-rc1...v2.3-rc2

v2.3 Release Candidate 1

Summary

New features:

• Add support for nBFT (NVMe-oF Boot Firmware Table)

Bug fixes:

• For TCP transport: use sysfs controller src_addr to better match a newly configured controller to those found in the sysfs.
• udev-rules race condition mitigation: only react to "rediscover" events.

v2.2.3-rc1

Summary

Bug fix: Don't react to connected kernel events. Only react to rediscover events.

What's Changed

• udev-rules: Only react to rediscover events (not connected) by @martin-belanger in #372

Full Changelog: v2.2.2...v2.2.3-rc1

v2.2.2

Summary

Bug fix: During a software upgrade, while migrating the previous last known configuration, an old TID object may not contain a self._cfg member. To avoid crashing the system while loading the old config, one must introspect the old TID object to see if it contains a self._cfg member before trying to access it.

What's Changed

• trid: Fix migration of old TID object (introspect self._cfg member) by @martin-belanger in #367

Full Changelog: v2.2.1...v2.2.2
