All, Here is a quick summary of OFED 4.8 and SRP blocking bugs. Please correct/comment if I have it wrong.
- SL7.2 and SL7.3 SRP support is a must for DDN, need latest upstream SRP 4.11 fixes - No resources available to backport or integrate the SRP 4.11 base or fixes into OFED 4.8 - ib_srp_backport (4.11 base) installs/builds/runs on OFED 4.8 for both 7.2 and 7.3 - SL7.3+OFED+srp_backport fixes 2632 - SL7.2+OFED+srp_backport still hitting bug 2632 - SL7.2+inbox_infiniband+srp_backport (no OFED) still hitting 2632 and 2634 (slightly different but still seeing CM DREQ) - Bug 2632, 2634 still open, no resolution and no ETA on fix from maintainer Given that we still have the same issues without OFED installed and no ETA on fixes, I would suggest moving forward and releasing OFED 4.8 GA. We can document issues and process for applying upstream SRP fixes in the release notes. If there are no objections, I would like Vlad to modify OFED release notes, add the 2 remaining bugs to known issues, and add backport procedure for SRP upstream as follow: http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2632 http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2634 The ib_srp-backport procedure is as follows: 1. Install the OS (RHEL, SLES, ...). 2. Install OFED. 3. Install the ib_srp-backport driver: git clone https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport cd ib_srp-backport make rpm sudo rpm -U $PWD/rpmbuilddir/RPMS/*/*.rpm We can then release GA package tomorrow with these changes and latest daily build. Any other release notes changes?
