Sorry,

LU-5334 lnet: fix build with OFED-3.5-2-MIC-beta1

The stuff for RHEL6.4 should be guarded by CONFIG_COMPAT_RHEL_6_4
also in RHEL6.5. So, we need both COMPAT defines in RHEL6.5.

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for providing your inputs.

could you please help on how to define COMPAT for RHEL6.5 and is there any patch we need to apply ?

Regards,
Ramesh

The patch is very simple. You can apply it manually to your sources.

Is this issue still actual? It should be fixed in all branches but only for RHEL 6.[45].

[James A Simmons]

Now we need a ticket for RHEL6.6 and RHEL7 support

[Dmitry Eremin (Inactive)]

I open LU-6912 for this.
