Ubuntu 21.10 is out! It ships Linux kernel 5.13 (including, among others, features as described here and here). See the release notes here, and the blog entry at Canonical with Z-specific highlights here.


New Release: s390-tools v2.18

s390-tools v2.18 is out. This release is in support of Linux kernel 5.14.

One of the highlights is the auto-activation of PCI and crypto devices under DPM. Therefore, any of these devices defined for a Linux LPAR in DPM will be activated automatically as part of the boot process.
This processing can be suppressed by specifying rd.zdev=no-auto on the kernel command line.

For a detailed list of all changes, see the changelog.

New Release: smc-tools v1.6.1

smc-tools v1.6 is now available for download here.
