Hi All,

The UNH-IOL has completed testing, and the only bug found was bug 2661<http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2661>, which has already been reported and a fix is aimed at 4.8-2. I think we are good to go to GA for 4.8-1.

Cheers,
Stefan Oesterreich

Hi Arlin,
Can you replace ‘fastlinq’ by ‘QL4xxx series of converged network adapters’?

Also, qedr’s iWARP support is upstream already but in OFED 4.8-1 RC3 it isn’t in the kernel (only in rdma-core).
As discussed at a prior meeting, we will add it to OFED 4.8-2.
Please remove iWARP indication.

If you’d like, I can send a patch on top of this one.

Thanks,
Ram

OFED 4.8-1 GA release update….

I assume RC3 testing is going well; no new issues reported on EWG or Bugzilla so I would like to package up GA tomorrow if possible. Once complete, I would like to immediately move onto OFED 4.8-2 and add EL7.4 and SLES12.3 backports. Maybe I am being overly optimistic but I would like to finalize OFED 4.8-2 GA by end of year if possible.

A release note patch is attached that includes all changes highlighted below in the minutes.


Vlad, please apply these changes and update for GA.



Everyone, please review these final changes and send modifications to Vlad.


Thanks,

Arlin
