It looks like the last issue lies in the Linux kernel itself. OFED 3.5 will
have to be matched to a kernel that has the proper patches. Otherwise, it is
very simple to crash the kernel. "Out-of-the-box" SL 6.3 does not have these
changes. There may be others as well. Most likely RHEL.

My test, which is detailed in the bug, does uncover this issue. The SRP test
for the Logo event will never see this issue. Even using the extended
(indirect) sg descriptors. That means that the current test is not
exercising the new feature. 

My goal is to make sure the OFED 3.5 release is married to the proper kernel
versions and distros.

How will the supported distros be listed in the release notes? Will we
(UNH-IOL and DDN) be testing all of potential kernels and distros?

-Marty

Marty,

I know there are still a few issues you, Bart and Dave Dillow are working on
but it seems like many have been resolved. Can we give approval for RC3
knowing there will be some testing allowed before RC4 and GA. We will never
get OFED to 3.8 unless we release 3.5 so we can start working on 3.8!

Thanks

Rupert

Hey Tziporet,

Chelsio is happy with the current OFED-3.5 bits at this point. There are a
few outstanding issues, but none to stop ship for.

We're ready to release.

Thanks,

Steve.
