Vladimir Sokolovsky Mellanox Adit Ranadive VMware Devesh Sharma Broadcom Sindhu Devale Intel Paul Grun HPE-Cray Jim Ryan OFA Missing: Cavium, Chelsio, Huawei Agenda: * OFED_5.5 - discuss future requirements and validate resource commitments * Kernel.org 5.5 just released, if we move forward, we would likely build OFED-5.6 (2 weeks out). * IWG is not ready to communicate their new charter, no input regarding OFED requirements at this time. * Broadcom still needs OFED with latest upstream backported for customers, can commit resources for their drivers * VMware also needs OFED with latest upstream backported for customers, can commit resources o Both mentioned the need for quick turnaround, little value if it takes 4-6 months to release. * Intel would like OFED but only for OFA interop/validation testing. o No backports, can commit resources for kernel.org support only. o In-box distro support and latest upstream kernel is their support model * Mellanox o In-box distro support, latest upstream kernel, and Mellanox OFED is their support model o Will continue to support OFED with mlx backports, however: o Cannot commit to quick turnaround on rdma_core integration/backports going forward * Need input from Cavium, Chelsio, and Huawei - CC'ed on minutes, please respond to EWG list * Need someone to volunteer for quick rdma_core integration/backporting - Anyone? Regards, Arlin
