Hello, The recommendation from the OFA board is to move to a lite weight OFED packaging option. This new packaging would simply update the vendors drivers, rebased for distro's compat_rdma kernel sub-system. It would not replace the entire compat-rdma sub-system with latest upstream kernel versions. Not sure how we handle the out of tree builds for rdma_core in user-space, we may have to patch and rebuild entire package.
Would this be an acceptable packaging option for your company? Would there be any value without latest upstream compat-rdma stack? We will discuss this on Monday, or you can simply reply to the EWG mailing list with your feedback.
