OK. Note this is still untested, and off by default.

I think that the mthca patch to encode SL in sched_queue field to
improve hardware QoS guarantees for connected QPs is useful as this can
be exercised by IPoIB-CM. If so, should/can this be included ?

OTOH, you are right in that without SM support we can't claim to have this
feature at all. So, to avoid controversy, I have just removed the QoS patches
from IB core and pushed the code out.

Right but I think that precludes it from being included in OFED right
now.

Since the code is already included in OFED, moving it out would violate the 
feature
freeze rules, unless there's an actual bug this would fix.

Yes. But the other 2 don't.

I think this last reason also applies to the end client QoS changes as
well.

[openib-general] QoS in opensm will not be part of OFED 1.2

2007-02-05 Thread Tziporet Koren
Hi Hal,

I had an AI to check the QoS status with OSM.
Conclusions are that QoS support in OpenSM will not be part of OFED 1.2 
(I updated the plan on the Wiki)

The reasons for this are:
1. Code not ready at code freeze.
2. There are technical discussion in the list regarding some 
implementation details (e.g. XML or text syntax).
3. SPEC is not published by IBTA yet.

Hal & Yevgeny - please work on a plan that will enable QoS to be merged 
on the main trunk once its ready.

Tziporet
