Yes, the usual mess: ofed X is based on kernel Y1 but with some additions from
kernel Y2 plus plenty of unreviwed and non-merged patches. Distro Z picks ofed
X and the result is 99% unsupportable as Roland said. Somehow this ofed
creature is still hanging around working on the the next damage its going to
bring into this world (code name 1.5)
Eli, here's a little tip for you, I had the displeasure to resolve bunch of
support cases originating from the fact that the below 2 years old commit
missed some ofed version (sorry forgot the number...), maybe it would help you
as well?
Under a normal setting, if this commit actually solves a bug being hit by many
costumers, someone would have opened a distro bugzilla case saying, "please
pick this commit for your kernel", the customers would have either wait for the
next distro update or use a distro intermediate kernel. Currently, I understand
that distros are picking ofed versions and that's it.
Or.
