Not sure I buy that argument.
I think in the past we have had some features in OFED that were only
availible
on certain kernels/distros. If I recall, for example, I think that for
a while iser was not available for all kernels until the backport
patches were developed.
Not a problem that a ULP will not support all kernels (its even the
status now of some drivers/ulps)
But every ULP must have a maintainer with git tree on ofa server,
supporting few of the relevant kernels.
Also the maintainer must run some unit level testing to make sure its
working.
Are you proposing we remove something that is in an upstream kernel
from OFED ?
We never remove anything that is coming from Linux kernel
as I thought that generally all features that are upstream get included
into OFED and then perhaps some features that are not yet upstream
are added on. That seems to be the process that we have followed
in the past anyway.
I agree - this is the way things are working
