Hey Tziporet,
Chelsio is definitely committed to OFED and we'll get cxgb3/4 backports
done soon. We'll discuss timelines in the next call.
Thanks,
Steve.

Hi All,
We started to work on OFED 3.2 and for now we already have the base code
working with the new compat framework:
- IB core (all modules)
- IPoIB
- mlx4, mthca - Mellanox drivers
However for the last few months there was no progress on any other low level
driver:
- qib - Intel
- nec - Intel
- cxgb3/4 - Chelsio
Since there is no reason to have OFED release for Mellanox only we need to
understand the other companies position and commitment for OFED.
We have two options:
- Drop OFED releases all together. Focus our EWG efforts in pushing APIs,
testing of the Linux inbox SW stack and driver enhancements for the RDMA
technology
- Get real commitment from the vendors on dates to provide the backport support
(we can move to kernel 3.3 if we decide this)
Please do your internal consideration and come back with your decision.
The final decision will be taken in next EWG meeting on May 1.
Thanks
Tziporet& Woody
