We want to test if DRA (and dranet) can better utilize the infiniband devices. We have them working with UCX, and actually I am not sure if this will add anything, but it was worth trying for minimally the learning. A few notes:
usernetes_draif the device is discovered. I needed to build with podman and add the certs, and use the same usernetes base to debug whyibv_devinfowas not working. Creation of the mlx4 and mlx5 drivers in/etc/libibutils.devseemed to show the devices, although that wasn't the issue.I am trying to keep dra modular (in a separate container) although another option is to put it in the usernetes node. I like this approach less.
Next steps - I'm going to do some reading of dranet and then test builds that might discover the device. We want it to show up with:
And when that happens I can test it out for the first time with a pod. I don't actually know if it will add anything, but I was curious.
