 The following is a list of general limitations and known issues of the various

+components of the OFED 3.18-1 release.
 
 01. When upgrading from an earlier OFED version, the installation script does
     not stop the earlier OFED version prior to uninstalling it.
     Workaround: Stop the old OFED stack (/etc/init.d/openibd stop) before
-    upgrading to OFED 3.18 or reboot the server after OFED installation.
+    upgrading to OFED 3.18-1 or reboot the server after OFED installation.
 02. Memory registration by the user is limited according to administrator
     setting. See "Pinning (Locking) User Memory Pages" in OFED_tips.txt for
     system configuration.

     /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules. Without this the modules will not

 08. RDS is not supported.
-09. Bugs 2489 & 2507: There are a few known issues with NFSoRDMA that are documented
-    in bugs 2489 and 2507. We believe the issues have been resolved in kernel 3.18 
-    but the backports have not been applied to OFED 3.12-1.

+09. Bug 2515: when an Intel HCA is attached directly to a Mellanox ConnectX3
     and the OpenSM is started on the Intel HCA, the link will not go to active.
     The workaround is to start the OpenSM on the Mellanox HCA.
-11. Bug 2544: Libfabric depends on infinipath-psm. When OFED is compiled --with-xeon-phi,
-    it will fail to compile/install because infinipath-psm is renamed when intel-mic-psm RPMs
-    are now built/installed. This will be resolved in OFED 3.18-1
-12. Bug 2545: ipath will not compile on SLES11 SP4 and RHEL6.7  because these releases 
-    are not supported in OFED 3.18. They will be added in 3.18-1
-13. Bug 2547: HCA driver seems to load, but does not seem to configure a device 
-14. Bug 2555: ib_send_bw –run_infinitely fails to terminate on the server after client 
-    disconnects 
-15. Bug 2559: unexpected CM event 8 error seen on running iwarp traffic after the 
-    restart of iwpmd service
+10. Bug 2553: Unable to run UD traffic using qperf on a RoCE R-NIC
+11. Bug 2561: Devices do not receive the echo reply of the first ping sequence 
+    when the payload size is 65493 or higher. This is still an issues in the 
+    4.3 kernel and should be resolved in a future OFED 4.x release
+12. Bug 2574: Installing OFED (with --with_xeon_phi and qib=y in ofed.conf file)
+    makes the access to the scif char device fail.
+    psmd uses scif functions to allow psm to connect to the Phi devices. 
+    It also makes sure it can connect to them when the service is started.
+    Scif functions cannot be called unless the mpss service is running.
+    Since openibd starts the psmd service, it should be loaded after mpss
+    This will be resolved in OFED 3.18-2
+13. Bug 2580:  NFSoRDMA client on PPC64LE will crash while trying to mount to 
+    a NFSoRDMA server running on x86 box. This will be resolved in OFED 3.18-2
+14. The ipath and eHCA drivers will be deprecated in the next OFED build that 
+    uses a kernel >= 4.3
