[ewg] EWG/OFED meeting agenda for today (May 15, 2012) - Meeting Minutes
We discussed people's progress towards our goal of getting the initial backports for OFED-3.3 complete. The status is: NES driver: Patches have been submitted but have not yet been applied. Intel IB QIB Driver: SLES 11 SP2; no backport patches were needed. - RHEL 6.2 -- may need some backport patch(es), in progress - 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 kernels, in progress. - we are still learning how all the pieces fit together, so we may have patches. - still targeting month-end. Chelsio: the cxgb3/4 backports are code-complete for 3.0, 3.1, and rhel6.2. - testing and code review under way - will submit these this week There was a question that we need to discuss more in our next meeting. It was what should we do if we find bugs in the upstream kernel code ? Will there be a way to apply bug fix patches to the OFED tree in addition To the backports ? ARs: Woody took the AR to touch base with Tziporet and Vlad on the progress on moving the tree up to the kernel.org 3.3 code base and if there has been any work done yet on the backports for RHEL EL 5. ___ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg

There are directories in the compat-rdma repository that get applied optionally with the admin_rdma.sh script: linux-next-pending - these are patches you've submitted upstream but haven't been merged yet. linux-next-cherry-picks - these are patches from upstream that we want in ofed but are too big or whatever to get pulled into the linux-stable tree. crap - this directory holds patches that would never go upstream for whatever reason. There are README files in each of these that explain their intended purpose. And admin_rdma.sh allows pulling from them optionally: [swise@build compat-rdma]$ ./scripts/admin_rdma.sh -? Unexpected argument passed: -? Usage: ./scripts/admin_rdma.sh [ refresh] [ --help | -h | -s | -n | -p | -c ] refresh - will update your all your patch offsets using quilt -s - get and apply pending-stable/ fixes purging old files there -n - apply the patches linux-next-cherry-picks directory -p - apply the patches on the linux-next-pending directory -c - apply the patches on the crap directory Chelsio will have candidates for linux-next-cherry-picks up coming.

Re: [ewg] EWG/OFED meeting agenda for today (May 15, 2012) - Meeting Minutes
The decision was made to move the kernel version to 3.3 rather than 3.2 and thus the next OFED release will be called OFED-3.3 and is scheduled to release at the end of July. woody -Original Message- From: ewg-boun...@lists.openfabrics.org [mailto:ewg-boun...@lists.openfabrics.org] On Behalf Of Nikolova, Tatyana E Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 12:09 PM To: ewg@lists.openfabrics.org Subject: Re: [ewg] EWG/OFED meeting agenda for today (May 15, 2012) - Meeting Minutes Will there be OFED-3.2 GA and what is the date for it?
