SRP is included already in OFED-4.8 as a part of linux-4.8 kernel and I
don't see any reason to include SRP code twice.
If some bug fixes have to be added there then there is a specific place
in compat-rdma git tree for the relevant patches.
If somebody is interested to add an additional SRP standalone package
then please send me the relevant patches for compat-rdma/ofed_scripts
and build git trees.
Regards,
Vladimir

Ok. Vlad, what would it take to get this backported version of SRP into OFED
4.8?

Subject: Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8
Hello Arlin,
Adding a URL to the OFED README is not the same as including a version of
the ib_srp-backport driver in OFED. How can OFED users know what version
of the ib_srp-backport driver has been tested in combination with which OFED
version?
Thanks,
Bart.

Marty,
Would this work for DDN? We could add the URL and the SRP backport
readme to the OFED release notes. I believe you had an issue when
applying the backport to SL 7.2 and OFED 4.8 RC4 but I think Bart fixed that
already.
Thanks, Arlin
Hello Arlin and Robert,
A backported version of the 4.11 ib_srp driver that already has been
tested is available at https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport.
That driver builds fine against kernel.org kernels, RHEL/CentOS
kernels, openSuSE and SLES kernels and also against MOFED and OFED.
Has it already been considered to use that code base instead of
duplicating the backporting effort of the ib_srp driver?
Thanks,
Bart.
