   We can do what for creating patches?  Because this is the first time 
considering integrating into OFED.
   Maybe you can give me some guidance?

Thanks

Minutes:



・         Opens

・         Discussion regarding OFA TPC committee; topics/planning for 2020 OFA 
development workshop

o   Call out to working groups for participation.

o   Arlin will add topic to Aug 12th EWG agenda, Joe Balich and Jim Ryan will 
present details and the ask

・         IWG and OFA board reevaluating the Interop/Logo programs and OFED 
requirements

o   Testing coverage ideas from these discussions (2 major components):

1.       Latest upstream pre-release integration/testing �C rdma_core & kernel 
maintainers, vendors

2.       On-demand in-box distro testing for OS distros and vendors

o   Question to EWG - do vendors need OFED outside of interop/logo programs?

§  Yes!

§  OFED is the only backported distribution with “very latest” upstream bits 
(user and kernel)

§  6-10 month gap between rdma_core updates and OS distro releases/updates, too 
long

§  distro’s don’t always backport from latest upstream rdma_core

・         Rupert had a question regarding Huawei inclusion back into OFA 
working groups, IBTA looking for insight.

o   Jim Ryan �C OFA is a completely open community, US restrictions do not 
apply. IBTA might be different.



・         OFED-next will be OFED-5.3

・         Agreement to target kernel.org 5.3 RC2 (or latest snapshot) for next 
release, Vlad agreed to start working on first build package

・         Backports to follow, initial discussions RH8.0, RH7.6 (or 7.7?), 
SLES15 and later (15.1?), no support for SLES12. Stay tuned.

・         Huawei RoCE drivers will be added into this new release (after 
initial build package is created?)

o   Huawei (Lijun Ou) to create patches to add drivers to installation/build

o   Please send OFED integration questions out to general ewg list and/or Vlad.



Thanks everyone, very productive meeting!



Please correct/add anything I missed.



Regards,



Arlin
