Package: ibverbs-utils
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Certain kernel modules need to be loaded to use this stack, for example:
dannf@xps13:~$ sudo ibv_devinfo Failed to get IB devices list: Function not implemented dannf@xps13:~$ sudo modprobe ib_uverbs dannf@xps13:~$ sudo ibv_devinfo libibverbs: Warning: couldn't open config directory '/etc/libibverbs.d'. No IB devices found
It seems like we could be loading the necessary modules automatically. Indeed, there seems to be code in the rdma-core repo for doing so:
redhat/rdma.udev-rules
redhat/rdma.kernel-init
Could we enable such a facility for Debian?

We have rdma-core in Debian unstable now. This source package provides a binary package called 'rdma-core' which provides the basic boot time support for systems that use the Linux kernel's remote direct memory access (RDMA) subystem which includes InfiniBand, iWARP, and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE).
