[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Add support for RDMA enabled devices in main tree
Hi all! I'm working on putting infiniband support to main tree. Currently infiniband related stuff hosted in science overlay in sys-infiniband [1] category (this category currently contains ~25 packages but they will be ~40) so i wanna move them as whole category. Also i'm going to add USE_EXPAND for infiniband userspace drivers: libmlx4 libmthca libehca libcxgb3 Any objections about moving this stuff to tree? PS some in-tree stuff already has infiniband use flag so i'd like to make it global or may be rename it to rdma [1] http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sci.git;a=tree;f=sys- infiniband;h=5442f68fcaa8cedde34772915c605fdbab8d5541;hb=HEAD -- Best Regards, Alexey 'Alexxy' Shvetsov Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Russia Department of Molecular and Radiation Biophysics Gentoo Team Ru Gentoo Linux Dev mailto:alexx...@gmail.com mailto:ale...@gentoo.org mailto:ale...@omrb.pnpi.spb.ru signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Also since mlx4 ib driver wants kernel with xrc support i gonna add 'cluster- sources' to tree and use flag 'xrc' to virtual/linux-sources-2.6 so sys- infiniband/libmlx4 will depend on it. So if there will be no objections i'll proceed with this stuff =) And I'll move it to tree in an hour or so. should it be based on the hardware family rather than the lib name ?

Because its very scpecific stuff containing system libs and userspace drivers and daemons that will make ib hw functional =) -- Best Regards, Alexey 'Alexxy' Shvetsov Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Russia Department of Molecular and Radiation Biophysics Gentoo Team Ru Gentoo Linux Dev mailto:alexx...@gmail.com mailto:ale...@gentoo.org mailto:ale...@omrb.pnpi.spb.ru signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
