[ewg] EWG/OFED meeting summary for Sep 4, 2012

[Tziporet Koren]

OFED 3.5:
========

The latest daily build: http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-3.5-daily//OFED-3.5-20120831-0600.tgz

 Main Changes from last release:

- NFSRDMA is ready (RHEL6.2/6.3/SLES11SP2)
- nes driver updates
- New qperf test
- New PSM library

Plan:
- RC2 on Sunday Sep 9 <= All patches should be provided by end of this week
- GA on Sep 13 - assuming no changes form RC2

Vlad/Tziporet wills end a closure mail by end of next week.
If GA will not be in Sep-13 it will be delayed in 3 weeks.

Need fixes for:
- Intel: nes - another fix is expected this week. should be ready for RC2
- Mellanox: we may have an issue with mlx4_en over RHEL 6.3- under investigation
- Chelsio: QA around 30%.  There are some outstanding bugs blocking progress.  We'll have code drops for these soon.

Decision:
- Go to GA without RDS since no backports provided (can have 3.5.1 later if the backports will be provided)

Open:
- Feedback from Interop working group on testing - we wait for an answer from Rupert
