Hi,
OFED 1.3 RC2 release is available on

Please report any issues in bugzilla https://bugs.openfabrics.org/
The RC3 release is expected on January 30


Apparently OFED 1.3 includes SRP target support ? Although I consider
SRP target support as a very valuable contribution, it should not be
included in the OFED distribution but in the SCST distribution. The
reason is that the SRP target relies on SCST interfaces that can
potentially change with each new SCST release. Consider e.g. the
scsi_tgt.h header file, which defines  the interface between SCST core
and SCST mid-level modules. The version of this file included with
git://git.openfabrics.org/~vu/ofed_1_3.git (0.9.6-pre3) is
incompatible with the latest scsi_tgt.h file from the SCST project
(0.9.6-rc1). This may cause kernel crashes for OFED 1.3 SRP target
users who combine OFED 1.3 with the latest SCST version.

Now it won't crash, it will refuse to run. I've recently added in SCST protection against attempts running mixed SCST and target driver versions.

Sorry for this late notice.
