Is this a duplicate with the work you are doing under LU-2601 to add support for RHEL5.9 to b1_8?
Peter
Hi, Peter, I think so. But since our build infrastructure still not ready for this kernel. I have not trying it with OFED. So looks like this patch is needed.
From the http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-reviews/11942/
The ofa build looks like success. But it obviously isn't a normal case. The ofa + patchless unit should also failed since kernel-devel rpms absence. Follow the link, We can see without any rpms been built, just README is in place. I don't know why it to do so. Is it a issue?
updated patches. The first patch didn't work for external OFED.
This only allows adding "#include <scsi/fc_compat.h>" if o2ib is compiled with in-kernel OFED and scsi/fc_compat.h is exist. We skip when it's compiled on any RHEL6.x and external OFED with RHEL5.x and RHEL6.x.
Hi, Shuichi,
As below link: http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-reviews/12548/
The rhel6 patchless build is both successful on ofa & inkernel. The rhel5 is both successful on inkernel server & client build. Do you sure also same as your case?
BTW: Joshua, I found rhel6 server ofa & inkernel build indicted successful but doesn't product anythings. And rhel5 ofa server & client also build nothing. Just 'README' is present. Any problem in there? Or it is a normal case?
Yang,
in-kernel ofed is no problem on rhel5.9's kenrel. when you build with external ofed, it should fail. this doesn't matter wether it's for server and client's module.

Which version of OFED are you using? IIUC OFA OFED does not have a release that supports RHEL5.9...
Peter
Peter,
Sorry confusion. I have tested MLNX_OFED_LINUX-1.5.3-3.1.0-rhel5.8 and it worked, but you are right. MLNX_OFED_LINUX-1.5.3-3.1.0-rhel5.8 doesn't support RHEL5.9 even it worked with RHEL5.9. I hope Mellanox will release same stack for rhel5.9 soon 
, but agree this is not offically supported at this morment.
Howerver, I think this patch http://review.whamcloud.com/5051 are still needed for RHEL5.9's in-kernel OFED.

It looks like that build RPMs well, but OpenIB gen2 is disabled due to test by 'configure' fails. Please see the console log of the latest b1_8 build. http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-b1_8/
(from rhel5's inkenrel server full console log, http://build.whamcloud.com/job/lustre-b1_8/252/arch=x86_64,build_type=server,distro=el5,ib_stack=inkernel/consoleFull)
checking whether to enable GM support... no checking whether to enable OpenIB support... no checking whether to enable Cisco/TopSpin IB support... no checking whether to enable Voltaire IB support... no checking whether to enable Infinicon support... no checking whether to enable OpenIB gen2 support... no
It seems that o2ib is disabled on any latest b1_8 builds and can't enable it. This is an defect by LU-2601.
Please see, if we compile lustre modules with '--with-o2ib" for rhel5.9 kernels by hand, it still fails.
- ./configure --with-o2ib --disable-server --with-linux=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-348.1.1.el5-x86_64/
- snip - checking whether to enable Cisco/TopSpin IB support... no checking whether to enable Voltaire IB support... no checking whether to enable Infinicon support... no checking whether to enable OpenIB gen2 support... no configure: error: can't compile with kernel OpenIB gen2 headers
according to config.log. this is issue of LU-2631.

Hi，ihara, Could you please re-submit http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5051 to verify the inkernel ofed build is ok? TIA
Hi YangSheng, I just rebased and pushed patches again. thanks!
Landed for 1.8.9. 2.1.x landing covered as part of RHEL5.x kernel update
