I turned the options on in rawhide. Once they've gotten some testing there we can make a decision on backporting to F22 or F23. When it comes time to make the decision on f22/f23, please keep in mind that I am the upstream maintainer of the RDMA stack in the linux kernel, that all of these drivers are related to my upstream activities, and the fact that these are turned off is a hindrance to me being able to perform testing using fedora as a platform in the internal RDMA dedicated lab at Red Hat where all of the hardware that I requested be enabled is present and used. That being the case, I hope you can get this hardware enabled across the board, and preferably sooner rather than later. I'm curious why you're only requesting them to be enabled now if this is a hinderance to testing. Because for the last couple years I've been highly focused on RHEL support (this was prior to taking over for the previous upstream kernel maintainer of the RDMA stack). Since taking over as the upstream maintainer, people have been brought in to backfill my RHEL responsibilities, and I'm focused entirely on upstream. In that regard, I would prefer to use fedora as my base platform for that work, but I need these options enabled to make the transition from using RHEL7 as my base platform. FWIW, mlx5 is a converged adapter that would be super helpful to enable in Feodra, for Ethernet work. though, this has been open for two years now. Why is it still disabled? I'm looking at rawhide and the options are enabled as well as F27 (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwboyer/fedora.git/commit/?h=f27&id=04efbf7ae96008fdab54fc3e2c15be69223f5b50) where are you seeing them disabled? Do we still need to set options? I checked the x86_64 config. The mlx5 is enabled now, but some new options have come up in the meantime that should be enabled: +# CONFIG_SMC is not set +# CONFIG_INFINIBAND_QEDR is not set +# CONFIG_INFINIBAND_BNXT_RE is not set On aarch64: +# CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_HUAWEI is not set Without that set, we don't even see the option for HNS_ROCE under the infiniband drivers. Did you mean NET_VENDOR_HISILICON? I turned on the ones that were still listed as being off, so I'm going to close this particular bug. Feel free to open a new bug for other options you find that are off or submit a patch to kernel |
