Hello Kamal,

Regarding bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mstflint/+bug/1470167

You made the bug description without telling which version you are using
(I assume it is Trusty). Unfortunately I don’t have ConnectX 4 HBAs
(only ConnectX 3) and I can’t verify myself which were the commits
responsible for supporting it.

Considering following versions:

mstflint 1.4-OFED-1.4.2-1ubuntu1 trusty-updates/universe
mstflint 3.7.0+1.18.gcdb9f80-3ubuntu2 vivid-updates/universe
mstflint 3.7.0+1.18.gcdb9f80-3.1ubuntu1 wily/universe

AND taking in consideration that we are including ConnectX 4 support
only in Wily kernel (4.2+), I think we should consider:

1) Make sure Debian SID version (right now: 4.0.1+1.43.g97d7275-1) works
with ConnectX 4 cards.

2) Sync Wily version to Debian.

3) Provide a “backported” PPA for Trusty for those about to use future
lts-wily kernel. Remember that hardware enablement (like this case) is
NOT to be supposed to be achieved by a “Stable Release Update”… that is
why we should have a separated backported version.

I need 2 things from you:

1) What is the right upstream git repo for mstflint ? I’m using
"git://git.openfabrics.org/~mohammads/mstflint.git”, is this right ?

2) Can you test Debian SID version and let me know if it is good ? This
way I can ask sponsors to sync Wily package with Debian.

Thank you

Rafael Tinoco
