[ewg] OFA EWG Meeting: Monday, Feb 26, 2017, 09:00 AM US Pacific Time (12pm EST) - Minutes

[Kalderon, Michal]

Hi Arlin, 

We've been working with Brendan on this and were able to reproduce on our setups fix, and test locally. 
There are three commits (2 fix the issue and 1 fix was exposed that our data collection had an issue)
2 out of the 3 fixes have already been upstream in official linux revisions. one of the fixes can't go through
next as is as the code varies quite a bit.

Brendan will only be able to fully verify the fix Monday / Tuesday. 

The commits that need to be pulled are in my github: 

https://github.com/mkalderon/ofed-compat-rdma/commit/f20134d8f4736c6ce30975bb920cf64c2ec4248d
https://github.com/mkalderon/ofed-compat-rdma/commit/171235eb14bf2a7bccd28650470c44807ea644e4
https://github.com/mkalderon/ofed-compat-rdma/commit/4c5949ba5d075d814e30dc18bd4cdd71b45c972f

I would prefer Brendan gave this a test before rc-3. But I understand we're on a tight timeframe. 

thanks,
Michal

Quick update on RC3….

Broadcom has all critical bugs fixed and included in a new daily build. Thanks!
http://downloads.openfabrics.org/OFED/ofed-4.8-2-daily/OFED-4.8-2-20180228-1121.tgz


Our final blocking item is a critical “perftest hang” issue on a Cavium QL45412 RoCE adapter.

Bug 2674<http://bugs.openfabrics.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2674> “Unable to complete RDMA applications (perftest)”.

Michal, can we please get an ETA for the fix or a “won’t fix” disposition so we can push forward with RC3?

Regards,

Arlin
