Maybe you can give me some guidance?
Thanks

Minutes:
・ Opens
・ Discussion regarding OFA TPC committee; topics/planning for 2020 OFA
development workshop
o Call out to working groups for participation.
o Arlin will add topic to Aug 12th EWG agenda, Joe Balich and Jim Ryan will
present details and the ask
・ IWG and OFA board reevaluating the Interop/Logo programs and OFED
requirements
o Testing coverage ideas from these discussions (2 major components):
1. Latest upstream pre-release integration/testing �C rdma_core & kernel
maintainers, vendors
2. On-demand in-box distro testing for OS distros and vendors
o Question to EWG - do vendors need OFED outside of interop/logo programs?
§ Yes!
§ OFED is the only backported distribution with “very latest” upstream bits
(user and kernel)
§ 6-10 month gap between rdma_core updates and OS distro releases/updates, too
long
§ distro’s don’t always backport from latest upstream rdma_core
・ Rupert had a question regarding Huawei inclusion back into OFA
working groups, IBTA looking for insight.
o Jim Ryan �C OFA is a completely open community, US restrictions do not
apply. IBTA might be different.
・ OFED-next will be OFED-5.3
・ Agreement to target kernel.org 5.3 RC2 (or latest snapshot) for next
release, Vlad agreed to start working on first build package
・ Backports to follow, initial discussions RH8.0, RH7.6 (or 7.7?),
SLES15 and later (15.1?), no support for SLES12. Stay tuned.
・ Huawei RoCE drivers will be added into this new release (after
initial build package is created?)
o Huawei (Lijun Ou) to create patches to add drivers to installation/build
o Please send OFED integration questions out to general ewg list and/or Vlad.
Thanks everyone, very productive meeting!
Please correct/add anything I missed.
Regards,
Arlin
