Re: [openib-general] OFED 1.0 - Official Release

Yes indeed we inserted one more critical bug fix in SDP.

This bug is cause kernel oops in case server and client do not open the same number of sockets. Thus it can easily happened by any user level application using socket.

The reason we added it as a patch was to decrease the risk, so if it cause someone a problem it can be reverted easily.

Note that we did code review for the fix + tested it on all OS matrix we have to make sure this patch is safe.

Tziporet,

 

I see a few C code changes from pre1 in the form of patches.  What are these and why were they added after pre1?
