Status items on the Infiniband wiki page?

[Justin Clift]

Hi all,

There's a small "Status" section on the Infiniband wiki page:


It has these items on there, but they're not all that informative:

  Short term items
    * Upgrade to 1.5.x (Isilon). Delivery date: TBD.

  Long term items
    * Upgrade to 3.x (Isilon). Can't be done immediately because of
      refactoring done in the kernel.org branch and with the userland
      utilities, and the fact that things are still in a large degree
      of flux.

Are those items still correct for the "Status" section?  If so, can
someone please explain what they mean?  Reading through the -infiniband
mailing list didn't really help shed light on them. ;)

Next thought, we should probably add information about the "known good"
vs "needs work" parts of the IB stack.  For example, IPoIB and IPoIB
connected mode seem like they could be better.

Hans is improving the IPoIB code (in 11.x?) which is fantastic. :)

We can still set people's expectations correctly for the users and
potential users of earlier releases though.  Are there any other parts
of the stack which stand out as being excellent, or not that great?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
