OFED March 24 meeting summary about OFED 1.4 and 1.3.1 plans:
1.3.1 Release:
As we decided we should do a release in 2-3 month after 1.3.
In addition if there are any special fixes as outcome from the interop
we can do a release earlier.
All - please send me your requests for fixed issues and needed time
frame and I will publish 1.3.1 schedule based on this.
There will be some cxgb3 driver changes for 1.3.1.
OFED 1.4:
1. Kernel base: since we target 1.4 release to Sep we target the kernel
base to be 2.6.27
This is a good target, but we may need to stay with 2.6.26 if the
kernel progress will not be aligned.
2. Suggestions for new features:
- NFS-RDMA
- Verbs: Reliable Multicast (to be presented at Sonoma)
- SDP - Zero copy (There was a question on IPv6 support - seems
no one interested for now)
- IPoIB - continue with performance enhancements
- Xsigo new virtual NIC
- New vendor HW support - non was reported so far (IBM and
Chelsio - do you have something?)
- OpenSM:
- Incremental routing
- Temporary SA DB - to answer queries and a heavy sweep is
done
- APM - disjoint paths (?)
- MKey manager (?)
- Sasha to send more management features
- MPI:
- Open MPI 1.3
- APM support in MPI
- mvapich ???
- uDAPl
- Extensions for new APIs (like XRC) - ?
- uDAPL provider for interop between Windows & Linux
- 1.2 and 2.0 will stay
Sorry I missed these meetings. For iWARP, here is my plan:
New iWARP Verbs:
- stag_alloc/dealloc
- nsmr_fastreg
- read-with-inv-local-stag
- inv-local-stag
Note the above verbs might be transport-independent. I believe the
IBTA has defined a fastreg verb too?
- peer-2-peer support in IWCM/Drivers
Steve.
3. Supported OSes & kernels
- RHEL 4 up 5,6,7
- RHEL 5 up 1,2 - all vendors please see if we can drop RHEL5
(base)
- SLES10 SP1 SP2
- Kernel.org: start from 2.6.18 - need to decide here based on
customers requests
- Fedora C8
- OpenSuSE 10.3
Open (for discussion at Sonoma) :
- Do we want to move that user level part will be based on tarballs and
not git
- Kernel.org and OFED kernel modules
