We have tested NFSoRDMA on 2.6.27 and didn't see any of the issues
that we see on Distros.
So basic functionality is working

Re: [ewg] Bonding fail over not working

2008-10-28 Thread Betsy Zeller
Pradeep:

I don't believe this is a known issue. There is no bug open against it
in http://www.openfabrics.org/bugzilla that I can see. Can you open a
bug on this in the Open Fabrics bug system, if you are able to reproduce
it on OFED 1.4 RC3, or a recent nightly build? If you do open a bug,
please mark it critical, as we need to make an explicit decision about
this.

The same fix should submit to mainline kernel. I checked the code, same
problem there.

I think I can get NFS_RDMA ready on 2.6.27 (it's already close) and
2.6.26  for rc4.

Since I wasn't at the meeting, I'd like to clarify. I am currently
working on the distro backports, and plan to have these ready for 1.4.1.
Assuming I get this done, can we include these in 1.4.1?

Thanks.

2. We had a discussion on NFS-RDMA since both RHEL 5.1 and SLES10 SP2

Take it out: If someone will try it on the distro experience can be
problematic
Decision: We will leave it for 2.6.27 kernel only.
All testing should be done on this kernel mainly to see that basic
functionality is working

3. Decide on RC4 target date - Nov 4
Betsy will check the compilation warnings status - and see if we can
have more improvements for RC4

4. Reviewed BOF presentation from Woody.
General content is good.
For OFED 1.5 - we will add list of OSes that their support will be

We'll push this is a fix to ofed-1.4 and it will be available for
kernel 2.6.27 only.
