[ewg] Failure to build OFED 4.8 on RHEL 7.2 with native kernel

[Rupert Dance]

Hi Ram,

There are still some backports that are not complete and qib is one of them.
Here is a suggested work around from Vlad back on 11/2/2016

  _____  

There are no QIB backports yet in OFED-4.8.

If you work on RHEL7.2 then use the following configuration parameters:

# ./configure --with-core-mod --with-user_mad-mod --with-user_access-mod
--with-addr_trans-mod --with-mlx4-mod --with-mlx4_en-mod --with-ipoib-mod

  _____  

There may be some other modules that have been added since 11/2/2016 but
this should get you started. 

 

Here is what I see for srpms listed in OFED-4.8-20161120-0830.tgz

 


srpms in OFED-4.8-20161120-0830.tgz

Inside rdma_core






 


srpms in OFED-3.18-2.tgz




 

Hope this helps

 

Rupert

Hi All,

I have downloaded the latest OFED build OFED-4.8-20161120-0830 and tried to
install it on RHEL 7.2, with native kernel 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64.

I was expecting it to build well since the readme states under section "1.2
Supported Platforms and Operating Systems":

  o   Linux Operating Systems:

        - RedHat EL7.2          3.10.0-327.el7

        - SLES12                3.12.28-4

        - SLES12.1              3.12.49-11.1

        - kernel.org            4.8    *

 

The build failed on 'qib', and when I disabled all vendors it still failed
but this time on iser.

 

The iSER failure:

 
/var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILD/compat-rdma-4.8/drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi
_iser.h:51:23: fatal error: scsi/iser.h: No such file or directory

    #include <scsi/iser.h>

This hints that a kernel version higher than 4.4  is required because that
specific file was first introduced in kernel 4.5.

 

(the qib failure was similar - implicit declaration for a function
introduced in a newer kernel).

 

Perhaps there's a step I've missed in the installation?

Is this combination supposed to work? Has anyone tried it?

 

Thanks,

Ram
