[ewg] 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 kernel support

[Vipul Pandya]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to back port Chelsio's cxgb4 driver for 2.6.29 and 2.6.30
kernels to include them in coming OFED-1.5.4 release. I found that my
ofed kernel is not getting configured for 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 kernels. i.e
when i execute  "./configure <configure options>" it doesn't apply any
patches to any drivers. Release notes for OFED-1.5.4 says that supported
kernels are from 2.6.29 to 2.6.39. I am able to configure kernels from
2.6.31 to 2.6.39.

 

Is this an expected behaviour or we require fixes in configure script? 

 

Following are the steps i follow to generate ofed_kernel.tgz file and
build ofed_kernel.

 

1.     [root at hpc-cn4  linux-2.6]# backports=none
./ofed_scripts/ofed_makedist.sh

 

<output removed>

 

2.     [root at hpc-cn4  linux-2.6]# tar xf ofed_kernel.tgz

 

3.     [root at hpc-cn4  linux-2.6]# cd ofed_kernel

 

4.     [root at hpc-cn4 ofed_kernel]# cat /etc/infiniband/info
 prefix=/usr
 Kernel=2.6.18-128.el5
 
 Configure options: --with-core-mod --with-user_mad-mod 
 --with-user_access-mod --with-addr_trans-mod --with-mthca-mod 
 --with-mlx4-mod --with-mlx4_en-mod --with-cxgb3-mod 
 --with-nes-mod --with-qib-mod --with-ipoib-mod --with-sdp-mod 
 --with-srp-mod --with-srp-target-mod --with-rds-mod 
 --with-nfsrdma-mod
 
5.     [root at hpc-cn4 ofed_kernel]# ./configure --with-core-mod
--with-user_mad-mod 
 --with-user_access-mod --with-addr_trans-mod --with-mthca-mod 
 --with-mlx4-mod --with-mlx4_en-mod --with-cxgb3-mod 
 --with-nes-mod --with-qib-mod --with-ipoib-mod 
 --with-sdp-mod --with-srp-mod --with-srp-target-mod 
 --with-rds-mod --with-nfsrdma-mod
 
 <output removed>
 
6.     [root at hpc-cn4 ofed_kernel]# make && make install
 
 <output removed>
 
 [root at hpc-cn4 ofed_kernel]# reboot

 

Thanks,

Vipul
