Hello, In case anyone would like to start using the srp-ha patch series before it gets upstream, a backported version of that patch series is available here: http://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport. The advantages of that version of ib_srp over what's upstream are: - Better robustness against cable plugging. - Allows closing an SRP connection from the initiator side (via the new "delete" attribute in sysfs). - Configurable dev_loss_tmo and fast_io_fail_tmo parameters. - Builds against any kernel in the range 2.6.32..3.6. - Can be used on RHEL 6.x systems.
In combination with srp_daemon and multipath-tools this should allow to build a reliable H.A. SRP solution. Note: I haven't been able to test that code against every existing mainstream or distro kernel. Feedback is welcome though.
