It also might be useful to see if a simple program including netdb.h can compile on the system. We could find out if the error is really in the system header files or due to some other interaction. #include netdb.h int foo(int i) { return i 1 ? i * foo(i - 1) : 1; } Pavel Shamis

#ifdef NES_NAPI Is #ifdef napi sprinkled throughout the code common for most drivers? Is there a better way to handle this? (Is this OFED only for backports, or for upstream?) Is there any reason why we want the upstream kernel to have both NAPI and non-NAPI support? If so, then

I think the problem is that sizeof struct ibv_context_ops has changed, so the new driver returns a big struct ibv_context, app compiled with older header file has a smaller struct ibv_context and use the old offset to find fields after ops. --CQ -Original Message- From: Roland
