So what do we do in DPDK? Do you agree with the patch I sent to correct wrong assumptions in the doc? My fear is that if we keep mana PMD as-is, it could break compilation when libmana will be released if there is an incompatibility with what you have in staging. Please remember that rdma-core is also used for mlx PMDs, and we don't want mana to break compilation when updating rdma-core. > From: Jason Gunthorpe <j...@nvidia.com> > Sent: Sunday, October 9, 2022 7:08 AM > To: thomas <tho...@monjalon.net>; Long Li <lon...@microsoft.com> > Cc: dev@dpdk.org; ferruh.yi...@amd.com; andrew.rybche...@oktetlabs.ru; > step...@networkplumber.org > Subject: Re: [PATCH] net/mana: fix dependencies > > I'm hopeful for 6.2, but it needs a respin I haven't seen yet. > > From: Thomas Monjalon <tho...@monjalon.net<mailto:tho...@monjalon.net>> > > Long, > > For the reasons below, we should not have merged the MANA PMD in DPDK 22.11. > We must not assume dependencies until they are upstream. > This is a red flag on the PMD, a revert is possible. > > Jason, > > Please could you tell us what is the expected date of release > of the MANA support in Linux and rdma-core? > > > 09/10/2022 15:53, Thomas Monjalon: > [...] > > The libibverbs was not detected through pkg-config. > > The method dependency() needs to be used first. > > > > The support in rdma-core and Linux is not released yet, > > so the documentation is updated. > > [...] > > - The minimum required version of rdma-core with libmana is v43. > > + > > + The support of MANA is not merged in rdma-core 42. > > > > - **Kernel modules** > > > > @@ -56,6 +56,8 @@ and must be installed separately: > > - mana_ib: InifiniBand device driver. > > - ib_uverbs: user space driver for verbs (entry point for libibverbs). > > > > + The support of MANA is planned in Linux 6.2.
