OFED Jan-07, 2008 meeting summary on readiness toward RC2

1. Release status:
   * In general there are no major issues - testing continue at all
companies
   * There is a wide coverage of platform and OSes
2. Tasks that should be completed for RC2:
   *    XRC - enhanced API - will be ready by next week
   *    IPoIB performance improvements for small messages - at least
some of the changes will be integrated
   *    Open MPI 1.2.5-rc2 - will be ready by next week
   *    Qlogic new driver - done

3. Agree on new schedule for the release:
   *    RC2: Jan 15, 2008
   *    RC3: Jan 29, 2008
   *    RC4: Feb 12, 2008
* Release: Feb 19, 2008
If we will see that RC3 is stable enough we will try to pull-in
And in any case we do not want to delay the release any more

4. Review critical and major bugs:
750     critical [EMAIL PROTECTED]      Problem with modprobe ib_ehca
with older kernel versions - probably fixed
760     major   [EMAIL PROTECTED]       UDP performance on Rx is lower
than Tx - related to IPoIB above
761     major   [EMAIL PROTECTED]       Poor and jittery UDP performance
at small messages - related to IPoIB above
820     major   [EMAIL PROTECTED]       rpm 4.4.2.2, Binary file matches
Binary file - patch was sent by OSU will be incorporated by Pasha
800     major   [EMAIL PROTECTED]       MVAPICH2 compile error
on PPC64 - fixed
736     major   [EMAIL PROTECTED]       IBV_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR errors with
local rdma_reads - Need Arlin to retest with new FW
767     major   [EMAIL PROTECTED]       Non backport Kernels
that don't build in genalloc compile errors for cxgb3   
     - not a major issue (will be in RN)

I'm beginning to think I should really fix this. I had another customer hit this issue today. The fix, however, is to _always_ build the genpool backport into the ib_core module. Is that a reasonable fix? I'd basically move the genpool backport patch into kernel_patches/fixes so it always gets applied... Thoughts?
