Ram Amrani Cavium Arlin Davis Intel Jim Ryan OFA Bill Schmidt Intel Vladimir Sokolovsky Mellanox Rupert Dance SW Forge Agenda: OFED 4.8-1 released, quickly moving onto OFED 4.8-2. * Opens * OFA board approval required for 4.8-2? ? Arlin to check with Susan * IWG required loaners for testing; ongoing issue with old servers ? Thanks to Rupert for providing loaners but need longer term solutions ? More EWG/IWG cross group communication to help validate HW/SW dependencies. ? Arlin will monitor IWG and join meetings as needed. * Next major kernel release target should be discussed ? Deferred until Dec 18th EWG meeting, need more involved in this discussion ? Need to start early; align RC's to intercept with 2018 spring interop ? Need to reach out to Doug Ledford for recommendation ? Note - kernel.org 4.14 is next long term stable release (2020) * OFED 4.8-2 * http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/ofed-4.8-2-daily/OFED-4.8-2-20171204-0839.tgz ? RH7.4 backported (compat_rdma, mlx4, mlx5) ? A big thanks to Vlad for quick turnaround! ? Everyone to work on component backports and forward to Vlad. ? Need a quick turnaround if possible, the next 1-2 weeks please. ? Vlad is working SLES12.3 (compat_rdma, mlx4, mlx5), hope to finish 1-2 days. * Same distro support as 4.8-1, plus RH 7.4 and SLES 12.3 ? Backports include: kernel.org 4.8, RH7.0 to 7.4, SLES 12.0 to 12.3 ? Update rdma-core to latest (v16) ? https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/releases ? Cavium would like to add FW for iWARP support: ? Need clarification of distro support (all backports or limited?) ? Need expected timeframe for the driver enhancement (days, weeks, months?) ? RH7.4 and SLES12.3 backports, rdma-core v16, and bug fixes * Timeframe (might be too aggressive but let's try so we can move to next major release) ? RH7.4 and SLES12.3 backports done in 2 weeks - Dec 18th. ? RC1 by Dec 20th, depending on backport progress and Cavium iWARP addition. Regards, Arlin
