Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-29 Thread Woodruff, Robert J 
I know that DDN really wants to hold the release until a fix is available.  I 
am personally OK with just documenting the known issues for now and fixing them 
in OFED-4.8-1 as 
I know there are some people that want to use what is there now and do not care 
about SRP. 

What do others think ?  Are we going to have to have a vote to break this log 
jam ?

Subject: RE: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

All,

Here is a quick summary of OFED 4.8 and SRP blocking bugs. Please 
correct/comment if I have it wrong.

- SL7.2 and SL7.3 SRP support is a must for DDN, need latest upstream SRP 4.11 
fixes
- No resources available to backport or integrate the SRP 4.11 base or fixes 
into OFED 4.8
- ib_srp_backport (4.11 base) installs/builds/runs on OFED 4.8 for both 7.2 and 
7.3
- SL7.3+OFED+srp_backport fixes 2632
- SL7.2+OFED+srp_backport still hitting bug 2632
- SL7.2+inbox_infiniband+srp_backport (no OFED) still hitting 2632 and 2634 
(slightly different but still seeing CM DREQ)
- Bug 2632, 2634 still open, no resolution and no ETA on fix from maintainer

Given that we still have the same issues without OFED installed and no ETA on 
fixes, I would suggest moving forward and releasing OFED 4.8 GA. We can 
document issues and process for applying upstream SRP fixes in the release 
notes. 

If there are no objections, I would like Vlad to modify OFED release notes, add 
the 2 remaining bugs to known issues, and add backport procedure for SRP 
upstream as follow:

http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2632
http://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2634

The ib_srp-backport procedure is as follows:
 1. Install the OS (RHEL, SLES, ...).
 2. Install OFED.
 3. Install the ib_srp-backport driver:
git clone https://github.com/bvanassche/ib_srp-backport
cd ib_srp-backport
make rpm
sudo rpm -U $PWD/rpmbuilddir/RPMS/*/*.rpm

We can then release GA package tomorrow with these changes and latest daily 
build.
Any other release notes changes?

Thanks,

Arlin

Well the best way to get it fixed is do the work yourself. 
Port the upstream fixes that you need back to the 4.8 version that is in OFED 
and send a patch to Vlad.  If the upstream maintainer is not interested 
in fixing it, then we need someone from the OFED community to take ownership of 
the version of SRP that is in OFED, do the testing and send in patches if there 
are bugs that need fixing.  
If the bug is broken upstream, then work with the upstream maintainer to get it 
fixed upstream and then backport it to OFED. 

My 2 cents.

I do object. I do not see the sense in releasing OFED 4.8 where it completely 
breaks the functionality of the previous OFED release. I'd like to see the 
issues fixed before the release of OFED 4.8.

I understand that there is a bandwidth issue from the maintainer. How could I

codebase or setup to debug it properly. But, that could be changed with some

Re: [ewg] [GIT PULL compat-rdma] qib for OFED 4.8

2017-06-29 Thread Vladimir Sokolovsky 

Hi Marty,
First, the issue should be fixed in the latest upstream kernel 
(4.12-rc7). Once the fix is submitted upstream it can be integrated into 
OFED-4.8.

Vladimir

SRP is included already in OFED-4.8 as a part of linux-4.8 kernel
and I don't see any reason to include SRP code twice.
If some bug fixes have to be added there then there is a specific
place in compat-rdma git tree for the relevant patches.
If somebody is interested to add an additional SRP standalone
package then please send me the relevant patches for
compat-rdma/ofed_scripts and build git trees.

Vladimir
