Tziporet,

I understand that OFED1.1-rc7 was released without the requested change below despite the fact that the request came in before the deadline. As things stand, userspace is broken for ehca in OFED 1.1. Was the request rejected because ehca is considered a technology preview for this OFED release and if so are there well understood (documented) rules/limitations on how their submissions are handled?

I'm asking to (a) learn from this experience (b) understand what we could/should have done differently (c) help avoid issues of this type in the future for us or other contributors. I would appreciate hearing back from you. Thx!
 
:Chet.

Hi,

Even though ehca is in technology preview state, there are certainly
some ones who would like to use it. In current ofed the build process
is incomplete for ehca user space. We did send the patches yesterday
as discussed w/ Vladimir and Michael and considered to be on the
category "2. Small updates for the install". It's very important for us
that one can get ehca compiled and built with ofed. Since those patches
do not touch any other components and we were one day before todays
deadline, we're very surprised that you reject this code now. What
should be the next steps?
Regards
Nam
