Description Wainer dos Santos Moschetta 2019-12-18 20:35:12 UTC

Description of problem: The rxe_cfg script attempts to run the ibv_devinfo command which is provided by libibverbs-utils. The rdma-core package does not pull in libibverbs-utils on installation, resulting on the error below.

Package: rdma-core-20.1-5.fc31.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rdma-core package
2. Ensure libibverbs-utils is not installed
3. Run `sudo rxe_cfg add ethN` where ethN is any system's Ethernet device
4. Run `sudo rxe_cfg`

Actual results:

$ sudo rxe_cfg 
Can't exec "ibv_devinfo": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/rxe_cfg line 215.

Expected results:
$ sudo rxe_cfg

Submit this patch to upstream for review. I will backport it for fedora after upstream merge it.

Comment 2 Honggang LI 2020-01-19 13:04:09 UTC

Upstream will replace rxe_cfg with iproute2. So, this issue will not be fixed in upstream.
I have to apply a fedora specific workaround for this issue.
