Hi Brice, 

You will need the MLNX_OFED with the GPUDirect support in order to work. I will 
check to there's a release of it that supports SLES and let you know.

[pak@maia001 ~]$ /sbin/modinfo ib_core
filename:       
/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.nvel5/updates/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core.ko
<snip...>
parm:           gpu_direct_enable:Enable GPU Direct [default 1] (int)
parm:           gpu_direct_shares:GPU Direct Calls Number [default 0] (int)
parm:           gpu_direct_pages:GPU Direct Shared Pages Number [default 0] 
(int)
parm:           gpu_direct_fail:GPU Direct Failures Number [default 0] (int)

Once that IB driver is loaded, you should find that there are additional 
counters being available from ib_core. And if you are using GPUDirect, the 
gpu_direct_shares and gpu_direct_pages counters will be incremented. The 
counters are located at:
/sys/module/ib_core/parameters/gpu_direct_shares
/sys/module/ib_core/parameters/gpu_direct_pages

Regards,

- Pak

The kernel looks ok then. But I couldn't find any kernel modules (tried
nvidia.ko and all ib modules) which references this symbol. So I guess
my OFED kernel modules aren't ok. I'll check on Mellanox website (we
have some very recent Mellanox ConnectX QDR boards).

thanks
Brice
