[ewg] EWG/OFED meeting agenda for today (May 15, 2012) - Meeting Minutes

[Woodruff, Robert J]

We discussed people's progress towards our goal of getting the initial
backports for OFED-3.3 complete. The status is:

NES driver: Patches have been submitted but have not yet been applied.

Intel IB QIB Driver: 
	SLES 11 SP2;  no backport patches were needed.
    - RHEL 6.2  -- may need some backport patch(es), in progress
    - 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2  kernels, in progress.
    - we are still learning how all the pieces fit together, so we may have patches. 
    - still targeting month-end.

Chelsio:

the cxgb3/4 backports  are code-complete for 3.0, 3.1, and rhel6.2.
- testing and code review under way
- will submit these this week

There was a question that we need to discuss more in our next meeting.
It was what should we do if we find bugs in the upstream kernel code ?
Will there be a way to apply bug fix patches to the OFED tree in addition
To the backports ?

ARs:

Woody took the AR to touch base with Tziporet and Vlad on the progress on moving
the tree up to the kernel.org 3.3 code base and if there has been any work done
yet on the backports for RHEL EL 5.
