I think you are using ./rdma-core.spec? I forgot about that one and
didn't make it work, I will fix it.

You probably want to use redhat/rdma-core.spec anyhow?

When testing, you want to start with a system that doesn't load any
modules, then install the new rpms and see what happens. (rdma-core, iwpmd)

For iwarp I expect that systemd will auto start these units:

  rdma-load-modules-r79FGtN6zq8c5CkaFG5UGg@public.gmane.org  loaded active     exited    Load RDMA modules from /etc/rdma/modules/iwpmd.conf
  rdma-load-modules-XSrBNAzizW1TDjBF/Jpztg@public.gmane.org   loaded active     exited    Load RDMA modules from /etc/rdma/modules/rdma.conf
  rdma-load-modules-mPXOxrv7gkYc5CkaFG5UGg@public.gmane.org  loaded active     exited    Load RDMA modules from /etc/rdma/modules/iwarp.conf
  iwpmd.service                    loaded active     running   iWarp Port Mapper

And you should have a reasonable set of modules loaded. Check the
journal for interesting errors also..

For cxgb4 these are the two critical udev lines:

ENV{ID_NET_DRIVER}=="cxgb4", RUN{builtin}+="kmod load iw_cxgb4"
DRIVERS=="cxgb4", ENV{ID_RDMA_IWARP}="1"

The first should load iw_cxgb4 if an ethernet device with the cxgb4
driver is found (the driver name being matched is as reported by
ethtool -i)

Both need to trigger for things to work properly, you can check with:

$ udevadm info /sys/class/net/ethX
$ udevadm info /sys/class/infiniband/cxgb4_0 # ??

Thanks,
Jason
