Hi, Enclosed you can find a link to the project with the updated code: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=3Drevision&revision=3D319974 Notes: * First stage includes kernel side only where user space part is in= progress * The code includes shared modules only with no vendor drivers * Most of the GPL only licensed parts coming from Linux were exclud= ed with one exception of 'cq.c' which was re-implemented from scratch. The code was tested by our legal department to make sure there is no licens= ing violation Regards, Meny From: Meny Yossefi Sent: Monday, February 13, 2017 6:47 PM To: 'freebsd-infiniband@freebsd.org' <freebsd-infiniband@freebsd.org> Subject: OFED update based on Linux kernel v4.9 Hi, We (Mellanox) have started working on an OFED stack update based on Linux k= ernel v4.9 We've decided to abandon our last update proposal, https://lists.freebsd.or= g/pipermail/freebsd-infiniband/2016-March/000190.html, based on MLNX OFED v3.2 as it wasn't generic enough. This update will include changes in both kernel space (ib_core) and user sp= ace (libibverbs, librdmacm) with direct effect over vendor drivers. Important note: Linux kernel v4.9 contains some GPL-only code sections. Tho= se introduce new API towards ULPs and will be excluded in the update proces= s.
