Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-30 Thread RSD@SFI
I suggest that we limit OFED 4.8-1 to the following items:

 

*   Broadcom Drivers
*   Cavium Drivers
*   SRP fix

 

Both the Broadcom and Cavium drivers were tested with OFED 4.8 RC1 during the 
IBTA Plugfest when we did the RoCE Interoperability testing. The results were 
very good – see the RoCE Interoperability List: 
https://cw.infinibandta.org/document/dl/8203

 

So I feel that if Bart and DDN can work on an SRP fix, we should be able to 
release OFED 4.8-1 GA within approximately 30 days after the release of OFED 
4.8 GA. 

 

Therefore the sooner we release OFED 4.8 GA, the sooner Vlad can start 
integrating Broadcom and Cavium drivers into OFED so we can get daily builds 
and start testing. Hopefully an SRP fix will be available in the next week or 
so.

 

Therefore I am supportive of releasing OFED 4.8 GA with the condition that we 
do a very fast turnaround on OFED 4.8-1.

 

Thanks

 

Rupert

I vote for documenting the problem as a known issue with documentation on any 
known workarounds (such as using Bart's srp_backports driver) and then work on 
getting an in-box fix into OFED-4.8-1.

especially since we are attempting to have a quick turn-around for OFED-4.8-1 
since  the new content being added is limited, and thus it should not take too 
long to get done. 

 

Vlad, what is your position on this one ?

 

And also, does anyone else have an opinion ?

We need community input here or some direction from the co-chairs (Woody and 
Vlad) so we can move forward. I have no problem waiting for a fix if someone 
can give the EWG a timely ETA on an upstream fix. From what I can tell, the 
maintainer doesn't have the bandwidth and DDN doesn't have the expertise to fix 
so I don't see any quick resolution. There are several OFA members anxiously 
waiting for OFED 4.8-1 to add their new drivers and many that need to get OFED 
4.8 GA done. Not sure we can wait weeks and/or months for this to get resolved.

 

The EWG meeting next Monday is on a US holiday and will be cancelled so we 
don't want to wait 2 weeks for a decision. 

 

I am asking EWG and OFA members to please reply with their recommendations and 
suggestions. We are clearly at an impasse.
