[ewg] Re: [PATCH] NFS-RDMA backport for RHEL 5.2
Yes. Thanks from me as well. Although I see much overlap between your RHEL5.2 patch and my SLES10SP2 patches, I will start with your work in order to unify the two backports as much as possible. Your backport also answers a few questions I've been having when reviewing my backport. Hopefully the SLES10SP2 backport is not too far off. Thanks again. Yes, good idea. You should be able to start with the RH5.2 (2.6.18) and add to it to get to SLES10SP2 (2.6.16). Hollar at Jon if you run into any issues.

[ewg] kernel-ib / sles 10sp2 / zypper install issue
Hi, I ran into the following issue on SLES 10 SP2: Recompiling OFED 1.4 went just fine I am able to install kernel-ib using rpm When I set up a repo in order to use zipper (native SLES tool) to perform the install, I get the following: testsles:~ # zypper in kernel-ib Restoring system sources... Parsing metadata for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2... Parsing RPM database... 1 Problems: Problem: kernel-ib-1.4-2.6.16.60_0.21_smp.x86_64[SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies Problem: kernel-ib-1.4-2.6.16.60_0.21_smp.x86_64[SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies There are no installable providers of kernel(net_netlink) == ed7265d4fe405c95 for kernel-ib-1.4-2.6.16.60_0.21_smp.x86_64[SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2] Solution 1: do not install kernel-ib do not install kernel-ib-1.4-2.6.16.60_0.21_smp.x86_64[SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2] Solution 2: Ignore this requirement just here number, (r)etry or (c)ancel> c But if I try to install libibverbs using zypper, everything is fine. I checked on the web, no luck. I could not find any reported bug in bugzilla so I was wondering if this kind of error was ever reported / hit by anybody. On both nodes (the one I used for compilation and the one I used for the install) I have kernel/kernel-source/kernel-syms installed and the /proc/config.gz are identical. I also tried to install it on the same node it was recompiled, same problem. The repo was created using yast. The output of uname -a is : testsles:~ # uname -a Linux testsles 2.6.16.60-0.21-smp #1 SMP Tue May 6 12:41:02 UTC 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux And for /etc/SuSE-release : testsles:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64) VERSION = 10 PATCHLEVEL = 2 testsles:~ # Thanks, Mehdi ___ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg

Thanks again. -jeff This patch contains the changes necessary to get NFS-RDMA 99% working on RHEL5.2. It 100% passes of the connectathon testcases when using RDMA. When using TCP, 1 testcase hangs (for which I've found a code hack to work around, but not a fix). The testcase is the 30MB transfer in the "special" tests, and is 100% reproducible. With the attached patch, you can now enable the nfs-rdma-mod by default and run it through your nightly build tests. Just to clarify: Enable nfs-rdma-mod on rhel5.2, 2.6.22, and 2.6.18 only. Also we'll have to address any hw platform issues that come up during your builds. There is one problem with nfs-utils, which will necessitate including it in the OFED distribution. Currently, there is a check for the kernel version you are running when running the mount.nfs command. This check is to verify if one is running a kernel greater than 2.6.22. If not, then it will not allow a mount with RDMA as an option. In earlier versions, there was an override option of "-i". This has since been removed for an unknown reason (but if you run `mount.nfs`, you can see that they forgot to remove 'i' from "usage" options). I will send them a patch to fix this in the latest version, but this will be a problem that will require it to be built locally until such a time as that is pulled in. We'll need to ship nfs-utils that works for nfsrdma on the older kernels as part of ofed-1.4.1. Stay tuned for this.
