Jeff, I'm running on the ofed-1.4 ofed_2_6_27 branch. Building
against a 2.6.27-rc1 running kernel that has nfsrdma configured. I
then build/install the ofed drivers with nfsrdma configured in the
ofed tree. This _should_ effectively "replace" the xprtrdma and
scvrdma modules from the 2.6.27-rc1 tree with the ofed built
versions. It apparently is not doing this. The result is an oops
when you try to use nfsrdma because the header files for key rdma
structs are different from the 2.6.27-rc1 kernel includes and the
ofed-1.4 includes.
It appears that the nfsrdma modules are _not_ getting installed by
the ofed makefiles. EG I don't see an xprtrdma.ko in
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/kernel/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma. I only
see on in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma.
Hi Steve. Thanks for finding this. Actually, I had only tested the
base nfsrdma build/install on 2.6.26. I then switched to working on
backports, and haven't had a chance to sync up my tree with the
2.6.27-rc1 stuff. I'll do that as soon as I can.
Note there are no backports for 2.6.27-rc1. I think this is
makefile/bldenv issue. I'm willing to debug this.
I thought backports are only included for kernels older than the version
(2.6.27-rc1 in this case) on which the OFED release is based?
Also, i'm going to be taking Tom Tucker's fast-reg patches and adding
them to ofed-1.4#ofed_2_6_27. I'll try and get all this working on
2.6.27-rc1. How does that sound?
Great.
Also, did you include the nfsutils package in ofed-1.4? We'll need
that for mount.nfs.
I haven't done that yet, as I've been focusing on the kernel stuff.
Also, I was thinking that it might be OK for folks to go grab that
independently of OFED. But on second thought (and after seeing your
suggestion) I agree. I'll see if I can pull together an RPM.
Thanks.

Thanks!
Steve.
