The meeting summary is also avilable on the Wiki:
https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php?page=Teleconf+01-15-2007
*Abbreviated minutes / summary*
* OFED 1.2 components readiness for end of January code freeze: In
general most packages will be ready on time.
Some features will be added after the Alpha but these will be
add-ons that are not part of core/drivers/libraries and cannot
harm stability of the package.
* OFED 1.2 plan was updated on the Wiki:
https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OFED+1.2+release+plan+and+features
* Decided to add MVAPICH2 package - OSU are the owners
* Daily build update on the OFA server
* Bonding module will be added to OFED 1.2 to support HA on older
kernels
* Toward the release each user level owner will open a branch (with
the name ofed_1_2) to be used for the release sources
*Detailed Minutes*
Build & integration process:
* There is a daily build of all components on OFA server
* User space - from all user space git trees
* kernel.org starting from 2.6.12 till 2.6.19 (supporting kernel
2.6.19 and 20 is required, the rest of kernel versions are optional)
* Kernel cross compilation: X86_64, ia64, ppc, ppc64 (Vlad will send
a mail)
* Build mails will be sent every day starting this week
* HOWTO was updated in WIKI home page:
o HOWTO Build OFA user package
o HOWTO Build OFA kernel package
o HOWTO add userspace package to ofa_user
General changes to the package:
* Chelsio driver - on work - to be integrated this week
* Re-base to kernel 2.6.20 to be done in few days
* Sa cache - in ofed_1_2 today - Intel please test
* Multicast - we wait for Voltaire and Sean to close all technical
details - should be ready by the end of the week
* SA async event support and InformInfo?
<https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=InformInfo>
and Notice reporting - will be ready only first week of Feb
* Bonding module - Voltaire are working to prepare back-port of the
bonding module that will support HA for IPoIB in older kernels.
The module should be ready by the end of this week
* low level drivers - all going to be ready on time, except the new
ehca interrupt handler
Libraries:
* libibverbs 1.1: (from Roland)
o Fork support - done
o Minor ABI extensions for new low-level drivers - done
o Better low-level driver handling, including multiple drivers
linked in statically - done
o Dropped from OFED 1.2:
+ Memory windows
+ Reregister memory region (incl. extend without
unregister...)
+ libibverbs 1.0 to be included as well
* Management: All the code is ready. Hal will prepare a release
version for OFED 1.2.
* CM/CMA: Sean will prepare a release version. Number will probably
be 1.1 not to collide with existing libraries version in Redhat
* uDAPL: Woody will ask Arlin to create a release for uDAPL library
Kernel ULPs:
* IPoIB:
o Connected Mode - code ready and under testing now
o NAPI - should test with CM - Mellanox. Current ehca
interrupt handler does not working well with NAPI. IBM is
working to change their interrupt handler to overcome this.
Not clear if this will be ready on time.
* SDP:
o Netstat - done - under testing
o Scalability - done
o small messages BW - on work
* iSER: Most changes are ready and integrated to ofed 1_2 git tree.
* SRP: MPP integration for HA - we wait for new MPP driver from Engenio
* RDS: Tziporet to approach Oracle to understand if the License
issue going to be resolved till end of month.
* VNIC - Integrated into ofed_1_2 git tree - Qlogic should test it
Management:
* OpenSM:
o QoS - on work; first version will be ready at end of month
o FAT tree routing - done
o Taurus routing - done
o SA InformInfo?
<https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=InformInfo>

<https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=InformInfoRecord>
support - done
o SA database dump/restore - ?
o Modular routing for multicast - ?
o IB router enablement - done
* Diagnostics:
o Monitoring QoS - ?
o Partitions analysis - ?
o GUI tool - done
o perfquery support for extended port counters - done
o ibportstate enhancements to change link speed of a port - ?
*MPI*
* MVAPICH 0.99 - Beta should be ready this or next week.
* Open MPI 1.2 - Code in convergence. For the Alpha we will use a
pre-release version but it will become stable for the Beta
* MVAPICH2 0.9.8 - OSU (Shaun Roland) will be the owner in OFED and
will provide the source RPM, based on the 0.9.8 release that was
already done
* Each MPI owner will open a git tree on the OFA server and locate
