Basically none of it is necessary today from a 'bug fix' perspective, the bug fix stuff is all ancient history. Here is my perspective on the RH directory: rdma.conf - Obsoleted by /etc/rdma/modules/rdma/modules Except for 'tech preview' which is a RH concept. rdma.fixup-mtrr.awk - Obsolete, supports ancient hardware, done in kernel now rdma.ifdown-ib rdma.ifup-ib - Looks like this supports RH's old 'network-scripts' system? Is it even compatible with suse? rdma.kernel-init rdma.service rdma.udev-rules - This is the implementation of rdma.conf, it is obsoleted. The bug fix stuff is all for ancient hardware or done in the kernel now. rdma.mlx4-setup.sh rdma.mlx4.conf rdma.mlx4.sys.modprobe - Mellanox says they now prefer it if the device's EEPROM is configured, instead of this approach. So this is old rdma.modules-setup.sh - Dracut support to include more stuff in the initrd. rdma.sriov-init rdma.sriov-vfs - This creates SRIOV instances at boot. Maybe it should move to kernel-boot, but also unclear why we need it? doesn't libvirt do this nowadays? rdma.udev-ipoib-naming.rules - This is a user example for udev rules.. Could go into kernel-boot If suse never shipped this stuff before then there is no reason to rush to add it now.. > I contacted Doug on the side.
