[ewg] EWG/OFED meeting Oct 17, 2011 - Meeting Minutes

[Woodruff, Robert J]

Here are a few notes I took from today's meeting.

We reviewed the OFED-1.5.4 feature list. 
All of the features that were targeted at OFED-1.5.4 are now available.
MVAPICH2 1.7 was release this weekend and will need to be pulled into the builds.
Patches have been submitted to allow OFED-1.5.4 to build on RHEL EL 6.2 beta.

Rupert from the interop group requested that we release an RC2 this week so it 
can be used for the interop event that starts at the end of the week. 

People should start pulling and testing the RCs on their hardware and filing
any bugs found in bugzilla. We will start to review the blocker bugs starting in the 
next meeting. 

OFED-2.0 upstream kernel work .

Sean is working with Roland to get the XRC patches upstream. Most likely
Roland will add these to his tree to be included in kernel.org 3.2. Roland
found a couple bugs in the patch that Sean is fixing. 

There are some other minor patches that were identified, such as raw QP support that
are in OFED but not yet upstream.

Here are a few notes that I took at the meeting.

OFED-1.5.4 discussion: 

OFED-1.5.4-RC1 was released last week and available for testing.

There are a couple of FDR patches that still need to be pulled in 
and those are expected this week. 

Support for kernel.org 3.0 is still not complete.

Woody tested RC1 on RHEL EL 6.2 beta and if the 6.1 backports are used,
everything compiles except one small compile issue in the qib driver, so
supporting 6.2 beta should not be too hard.

Vlad requested that everyone please update their documentation, release notes 
etc. Also, everyone should pull OFED-1.5.4-RC1 and start regression testing and
file bug reports in bugzilla. 

Opens:

Rupert provided an update on the dates for the next interop event. Pre-testing will
start Oct 17th or 24th with vendors onsite to test the week of Nov. 7.

The interop team would like to start testing the pre-release versions of OFED that
are in the distros, but they still do not have access to those early releases.
Rupert to re-start the email discussion with Jim Ryan and the distro contacts . 

The interop testing would also like to include testing for Rocce. They requested
that Mellanox provide details on the hardware and software configuration options
that are needed to allow this to happen. Rupert will start an offline email thread
with Vlad to get the needed details from Mellanox.

The interop team would also like to start testing Windows-OFED and will start an
email thread with Stan to explore this option.
