Ok, then it sound like it is important enough to hold the release until we have a fix. I assume this is something that you can look at Vlad ?

The upstream driver handles the SRP_Reject as expected without crashing the SL 7.3 kernel. That is also detailed in the defect.

An SRP target could have many hosts connected (IO nodes), not just the one that may have been abruptly rebooted (due to a power failure or pulled power cord). Are you suggesting that customers must reboot all of the IO nodes in their cluster attached to the SRP target and the SRP target as a workaround thereby taking the entire file system offline? The backported ib_srp driver has a defect where it is not handling an SRP_Reject properly leaving a null pointer for the blk_mq driver. Normally, this would just be a note in the log and the srp_daemon could be setup to attempt a reconnect after 30 seconds. But, that is no longer possible with the current defect. The host would crash and reboot every time a connection is attempted. -Marty Schlining From: Woodruff, Robert J [mailto:robert.j.woodr...@intel.com] Sent: Friday, June 16, 2017 12:18 PM To: Davis, Arlin R <arlin.r.da...@intel.com<mailto:arlin.r.da...@intel.com>>; RSD@SFI <rsda...@soft-forge.com<mailto:rsda...@soft-forge.com>>; 'Vladimir Sokolovsky' <v...@dev.mellanox.co.il<mailto:v...@dev.mellanox.co.il>> Cc: bart.vanass...@gmail.com<mailto:bart.vanass...@gmail.com>; ewg@lists.openfabrics.org<mailto:ewg@lists.openfabrics.org>; Marty Schlining <mschlin...@ddn.com<mailto:mschlin...@ddn.com>> Subject: RE: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8 When I read the bug, it looks like the work around is to also reboot the target whenever the host is rebooted. Is this work around acceptable for the short term, and then fix the issue in OFED-4.8-1, which will be a quick turnaround release since the new functionality being added to OFED-4.8-1 is limited. If people are OK with that, I would recommend moving to GA for OFED-4.8 and then start work on OFED-4.8-1 right away. OFED-4.8 has been dragging on forever and there are people that will want to start using it.
