[18.10 FEAT] Add kernel config options for SMC-R/D

[bugproxy]

Add folliowing options for SMC-R/D

CONFIG_SMC=m
CONFIG_SMC_DIAG=m
CONFIG_ISM=m

Already provided
CONFIG_HAVE_PNETID with bugzilla
https://bugzilla.linux.ibm.com/show_bug.cgi?id=167251
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1786902

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

We already have:

CONFIG_SMC=m
CONFIG_SMC_DIAG=m

Looking at 4.18, there is no CONFIG_ISM.

Marking this as fixed, please re-open if you find something is missing.

@Seth
The config option CONFIG_ISM=m is related to kernel 4.19.

Due to the fact that we have already a backport via
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1786902 -> SMC-Direct

we also need this set on kernel 4.18...

Does that help?

IBM Bugzilla status -> closed; Fix Released by Canonical

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

The backport from bug #1786902 does not introduce CONFIG_ISM. I see in Linus' tree it is introduced by 684b89bc39ce "s390/ism: add device driver for internal shared memory." Is only this commit needed or is there more that will need to be backported?

You are right. These 2 git commits were missing

e82f2e31f5597a3de44bd27b7427f577f637c552

684b89bc39ce4f204b1a2b180f39f2eb36a6b695
s390/ism: add device driver for internal shared memory

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

We already had e82f2e31f5597a3de44bd27b7427f577f637c552 as it was part of 4.18. Added the other and the config update.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

This bug was erroneously marked for verification in bionic; verification is not required and verification-needed-bionic is being removed.
