Public bug reported:
## FFe ##
[Description]
New upstream release 64.0 (2026-07-08). stonking has 63.0-2ubuntu1, Debian
unstable 63.0-2 (Debian maintainer bdrung has been contacted about 64.0-1).
Upstream diff v63.0..v64.0: 83 commits, 140 files. Notable changes:
- New hardware support: Intel IPU E2000 (irdma GEN3, PR #1640)
- New libibverbs API for provider-aware buffer allocation (ibv_alloc_buf and
friends)
- Provider updates and bug fixes (efa, ionic, mlx5, hns, bnxt_re, rxe)
- Updated kernel headers, pyverbs bindings and diagnostic tools
No SONAME change. The public ABI only gains symbols. The libibverbs/provider
private ABI is bumped, which only requires libibverbs1 and ibverbs-providers
(same source) to upgrade together.
[Rationale]
Hardware enablement: 64.0 is the first release with userspace support for Intel
IPU E2000 RDMA (irdma GEN3). Without it the device is unusable on 26.10.
[Regression potential]
Consumers of libibverbs/librdmacm (ceph, dpdk, libfabric, openmpi, ucx, fio,
libpcap, ...). Mitigation: no ABI break. Reverse-dep autopkgtests against the
PPA and an install/upgrade test will be done before requesting a decision.
[Testing]
Package preparation is in progress. PPA: ppa:virutstom/rdma-core-64.0-stonking
(all architectures + debug symbols enabled). I will add as comments, before
asking for a decision: PPA build results, install/upgrade log on stonking, and
reverse-dependency autopkgtest results against the PPA.
