Attached are the minutes from two weeks ago, which included lively discussions on some pitfalls with the current kernel verbs approach and the potential for kfabric as a mechanism for stabilizing the API w.r.t. the consumer. The discussion included:
* Continuing to develop kfabric as a match for LNET * Exploring the level of abstraction of kfabric - do we need an easy button? * CPU/Affinity - want to be able to hand hints down to the provider in order to maintain CPU affinity all the way down to the provider. All agreed that a workshop session highlighting some of the challenges that Lustre faces using kernel verbs (e.g. memory registration complexity) and how kfabric could be a potential solution. Unfortunately, Doug is unable to attend the WS this year. I'm not precisely sure where this discussion needs to go next, but it feels like there is more to be done here.
