[LU-7328] lustre 2.5.3 in b2_5 FE failed to configure with Mellanox OFED 3.1 (rhel 6.6)

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 02:42:44 +0000

I was able to build lustre 2.5.3 in b2_5 FE under rhel6.6 and Mellanox 3.0.

To resolve a production system issue we were asked to upgrade HCA firmware which requires Mellanox OFED 3.1.

The configuration failed with Mellanox 3.1:
