DAPL BOF Meeting Minutes 2/8/2005 - Discussed which version of DAPL (1.1 or 1.2) should initially be submitted to OpenIB. Concluded that 1.2 should be submitted.
- DAPL License: Discussed the terms under which the DAPL OpenIB code should be licensed. Concluded that DAPL should bear the same licenses, GPL and BSD, as other the other components in the OpenIB tree. NetApp raised the issue of how a GPL only patch to the Linux kernel would be handled. The group concluded that this is an issue for all of the OpenIB code base and not specific to DAPL. - uDAPL Platform independent features can be left intact. Only kernel components need to be Linux specific. - Group requested a link to the DAPL kernel code. The code is located on the DAPL SourceForge project web site. See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dapl The CVS repository is browsable via the web. See: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dapl/ The kernel components are located in the dat and dapl directories. The dat directory contains the DAT registry. All files and subdirectories in dat/common dat/include dat/kdat are part of the kernel component. The dapl directory contains the reference provider library. All of the files and subdirectories in dapl/common dapl/include dapl/kdapl are part of the kernel component. In addition, a new directory called dapl/openib_gen_two will be added and become part of the kernel component. - Tasks needed to integrate DAPL into OpenIB - Add OpenIB Gen 2 support for both uDAPL and kDAPL - Determine if a uDAPL kernel component is necessary to support shared memory registration, ATS, etc. on OpenIB gen 2. Add support if needed. - Cleanup kDAPL for Linux: need to remove platform independent layer and adhere to Linux kernel coding style - Update kDAPL build procedures to use autotools like the other OpenIB kernel components. Several individuals agreed to help, but no commitments were made. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
