Hi, Davis.Arlin R and Vlad

   We can do what for creating patches? Because this is the first time 
considering integrating into OFED.


   Maybe you can give me some guidance?

Thanks

Lijun Ou



Hi Lijun,
To include new drivers into OFED need to do the following steps:

1. Send me a list of the relevant sub trees from the linux kernel 5.3 
(including Huawei drivers).
2. Send me the git tree/URL of any relevant user space library other 
than rdma-core, if needed.
3. I will create development git trees, build environment and backport 
patches for the common components and Mellanox drivers.
4. Create backport patches for Huawei drivers based on the examples from 
other backport patches.



Regards,
Vladimir

Minutes:



・ Opens

・ Discussion regarding OFA TPC committee; topics/planning for 2020 OFA 
development workshop

o   Call out to working groups for participation.

o   Arlin will add topic to Aug 12th EWG agenda, Joe Balich and Jim Ryan will 
present details and the ask

・ IWG and OFA board reevaluating the Interop/Logo programs and OFED 
requirements

o   Testing coverage ideas from these discussions (2 major components):

1.   Latest upstream pre-release integration/testing �C rdma_core & kernel 
maintainers, vendors

2.   On-demand in-box distro testing for OS distros and vendors

o   Question to EWG - do vendors need OFED outside of interop/logo programs?

§  Yes!

§  OFED is the only backported distribution with “very latest” upstream bits 
(user and kernel)

§  6-10 month gap between rdma_core updates and OS distro releases/updates, too 
long

§  distro’s don’t always backport from latest upstream rdma_core

・ Rupert had a question regarding Huawei inclusion back into OFA 
working groups, IBTA looking for insight.

o   Jim Ryan �C OFA is a completely open community, US restrictions do not 
apply. IBTA might be different.



・ OFED-next will be OFED-5.3

・ Agreement to target kernel.org 5.3 RC2 (or latest snapshot) for next 
release, Vlad agreed to start working on first build package

・ Backports to follow, initial discussions RH8.0, RH7.6 (or 7.7?), 
SLES15 and later (15.1?), no support for SLES12. Stay tuned.

・ Huawei RoCE drivers will be added into this new release (after 
initial build package is created?)

o   Huawei (Lijun Ou) to create patches to add drivers to installation/build

o   Please send OFED integration questions out to general ewg list and/or Vlad.



Thanks everyone, very productive meeting!



Please correct/add anything I missed.



Regards,



Arlin
