Description Jeff Squyres 2016-11-04 14:44:57 UTC
Description of problem:

The description in the libusnic_verbs RPM is incorrect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 7.3, libusnic_verbs-2.0.1-4.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qip libusnic_verbs-2.0.1-4.el7.x86_64

Actual results:

The description says: "libusnic_verbs provides a device-specific userspace driver for Cisco
Virtual NICs for use with the libibverbs library. This package also
includes an usnic_udp_pingpong modified from ibv_ud_pingpong that works
with libusnic_verbs."

Expected results:

The RPM does not include usnic_udp_pingpong.  Here's suggested text for the description:

This is a dummy plugin for libibverbs for Cisco usNIC devices; its only
purpose is to avoid spurious warning messages from libibverbs when it
sees usNIC kernel devices.  Cisco usNIC functionality is delivered
through libfabric (instead of libibverbs).
