tar ball containing a series of patches against RHEL5.3 cxgb3 driver

Hi,

The tar ball in attachment contains a series of patches updating the cxgb3 driver for RHEL5.4. Patches 1-36 update the driver to the current linus'tree - early 2.6.30.
Patch 37 updates the driver embedded FW image.
Patches 38-39 will be submitted to kernel.org as soon as net-next-2.6 opens for 2.6.31.
Each patch contains the git commit info as seen in kernel.org.
The patches should be applied in ascending order.

Cheers,
Divy

patch to enhanced EEH recovery over cxgb3 RDMA for RHEL54

Comment 6 John Jarvis 2009-04-30 14:10:56 UTC
This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release.   As a 
result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of 
this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release.   
While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release 
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for 
inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual 
code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing.

Comment 7 Don Zickus 2009-05-06 17:15:21 UTC
in kernel-2.6.18-144.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5

Please do NOT transition this bugzilla state to VERIFIED until our QE team
has sent specific instructions indicating when to do so.  However feel free
to provide a comment indicating that this fix has been verified.

------- Comment From wenxiong.com 2009-06-09 23:48 EDT-------
This feature is also for support EEH recovery over cxgb3 interface in RDMA enviroment. The currect REHL54 kernel includes the latest cxgb3 NIC code but missing the second patch in this feature.

The second patch is for enhanced EEH recovery over cxgb3 RDMA.

I am going to open a bugzilla bug to address that part code in iw_cxgb3.

Thanks,
Wendy

The patch for this feature is not in RHEL54-Alpha(-152) yet. It is in rhel54-154 kernel. I have downloaded and re-built -154 kernel.  The patch works fine in -154 kernel.

Thanks,
Wendy

------- Comment From wenxiong.com 2009-07-14 19:57 EDT-------
I have verified this feature in Snap1. Basically patches/code have been intergrated into iw_cxgb3 module. EEH recovery over RDMA/cxgb3 works with  a very minor workaround in /etc/init.d/openibd(Infiniband start script)

I spent lots of time to figure this out.  openibd script in snap1 is difference with one in rhl53: the order to load infiniband modules are difference. I am going to open another bug for that minor workaround.

Thanks,
Wendy

Comment 17 Chris Ward 2009-07-15 08:07:12 UTC
Thanks for the information. Please post a link to the new bug created for the issue you've reported against the init script.

Comment 18 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-07-16 03:11:57 UTC
------- Comment From wenxiong.com 2009-07-15 23:06 EDT-------
I have opened a IBM bugzilla bug and attach the patch in it.

[Bug 54742] RHEL5.4 Snap1: feature 50951 failed with  new e/tc/init.d/openibd init script

After mirror to RedHat, you should see that bug.

Thanks,
Wendy

Comment 19 Chris Ward 2009-07-16 14:21:51 UTC
Okay, i am closing this bug then as VERIFIED. Make sure to escalate the new init bug to your partner manager as soon as it's mirrored. Its getting very late in the release cycle, so the chances of getting it accepted and fixed for 5.4 are getting lower by the day. Thanks.

Comment 20 Divy Le Ray 2009-07-22 04:08:43 UTC
Hi,

I had opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510818
on 07/10 to incorporate a series of bug fixes.
I've not seen any activity in this regard.
I'd really like to see these fixes in.

Cheers,
