Rebuild ofed-driver-3.1-0.1.build0.fc13.src.rpm

Nicolas_S_2 · ‎11-21-2013

Hello,

I have successfully installed MPSS 3.1 on CentOS 6.4, and everything is working fine with the stock kernel. I want to update the kernel, so I tried to rebuild ofed drivers with rpmbuild --rebuild ofed-driver-3.1-0.1.build0.fc13.src.rpm, and it's not working very well...

It fails with :

   make[2]: *** [/home/toto/rpmbuild/BUILD/ofed-driver-3.1/ofa_kernel-1.5.4.1/drivers/net/mlx4] Error 2
   set -e ; perl /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64/scripts/recordmcount.pl "x86_64" "64" "objdump" "objcopy" "gcc" "ld" "nm" "" "" "1" "/home/toto/rpmbuild/BUILD/ofed-driver-3.1/ofa_kernel-1.5.4.1/driv;

When I launch the compilation with /usr/bin/make OPENIB_KERNEL_EXTRA_CFLAGS:=-I/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64/include/modules/ kernel, I get an explicit error message (full trace : http://pastebin.com/Ns7Ggunc )

Could you please help me bypass this error ?

The problem is coming from the updated kernel headers : some definitions are redundant with OFED definitions. They don't exist with the stock kernel headers.

So, the solution seems to be patching the OFED headers :

Update CentOS to get the lastest kernel :
- yum update
Install needed packages :
- yum install rpm-build redhat-lsb kernel-devel gcc
get MPSS 3.1 http://registrationcenter.intel.com/irc_nas/3678/mpss-3.1-rhel-6.4.tar, extract it, go to mpss folder/src and rebuild mpss-modules :
- rpmbuild --rebuild mpss-modules-3.1-0.1.build0.el6.src.rpm
install the rebuilded RPM :
- yum install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/mpss-modules-dev-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64-3.1-0.1.build0.el6.x86_64.rpm
in the mpss folder, go to src and extract ofed-driver-3.1-0.1.build0.fc13.src.rpm :
- rpm2cpio ofed-driver-3.1-0.1.build0.fc13.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
extract ofed-driver-3.1.tgz :
- tar xfz ofed-driver-3.1.tgz
go to the extracted folder :
- cd ofed-driver-3.1/src/patches/2.6.32-EL6.1/
create file patch for ethtool.h :

return to mpss/src folder :

create rpmbuild folder :

copy needed files :

- cp ofed-driver-3.1.tgz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
go to ~/rpmbuild/
rebuild rpm and src.rpm files :
- rpmbuild -ba intel-mic-ofed-kmod.spec

I tried to recompile the MPSS 3.1 modules when I execute the rebuild command:

[bash]rpmbuild --rebuild mpss-modules-3.1-0.1.build0.el6.src.rpm[/bash]

I get the following error message:

Does anyone know how to work around this error? I gues it might be a problem of the 3.8- Kernel? Do I have to patch something to avoid the [bash]'struct tty_driver' has no member named 'minor_num'[/bash] error message?
