[ewg] OFED Nov 3 2008 meeting summary on OFED 1.4 status

[Olga Shern]

Hi,

We have fixed bug #1335, Moni released new bonding version yesterday.

Regarding bug #1301, we can see that on different machines (with the
same OS and ARCH) it behaves differently, we will have more info today.

Regarding bug #1336, we think that we know what cause to the bug, but we
don't have solution. This bug is important, because this is regression,
it worked fine before RC3. If someone can help with this, it will be
great.

I also think that it is better to postpone RC4 to November 10 and have
GA one week after it, if we will not find any critical bugs.

Olga

Vlad - Yannick Cote will check in a fix tonight  for 1326, plus some
other driver fixes. Our internal testing indicates that this will also
fix 1283.

We do not currently have a fix for 1242, but are continuing to work on
it. Given that IBMs fix isn't scheduled to come in till tomorrow, and
that I haven't yet seen a response from the folks at Voltaire, I'd
recommend holding off RC4 till Monday, Nov 10.

Thanks, Betsy
