To preface this, we do not make changes to perftest (you can verify this by searching git.rockylinux.org/staging/patch and looking for perftest) and our build environment and packages generally match the base mock package set templates when you install mock on an EL or Fedora system and use it to build a source package. These packages are closely related to how CentOS does their builds in koji for stream and is likely close to what Red Hat does in their own brew system. With that being said, I rebuilt the package using mock on rhel 8. This was the result. # mock -r rhel-8-x86_64 perftest-4.4-8.el8.src.rpm ... # rpm -qip perftest-4.4-8.el8.x86_64.rpm Name : perftest Version : 4.4 Release : 8.el8 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: (not installed) Group : Unspecified Size : 2107709 License : GPLv2 or BSD Signature : (none) Source RPM : perftest-4.4-8.el8.src.rpm Build Date : Mon 28 Mar 2022 03:23:20 PM UTC Build Host : repocompare.rockylinux.org Relocations : (not relocatable) URL : https://github.com/linux-rdma/perftest Summary : IB Performance Tests Description : Perftest is a collection of simple test programs designed to utilize RDMA communications and provide performance numbers over those RDMA connections. It does not work on normal TCP/IP networks, only on RDMA networks. ... # dnf install ./perftest-4.4-8.el8.x86_64.rpm -y ... # ib_write_bw --help | grep dis --disable_pcie_relaxed Disable PCIe relaxed ordering It is hard to argue whether this is a bug with RHEL or not because the same behavior you are seeing in Rocky can be easily replicated by rebuilding perftest on RHEL 8.5. What it seems to me (by looking at the build times on the CentOS koji https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=17571) is: * The package was built during the initial 8.5 development cycle (8.4 was in beta or close to release around this time) * The package was never rebuilt or updated to accommodate the package updates or changes in dependencies of perftest (which would dictate the appearance of this option) It is true that we should remain completely and fully compatible, but this is something where it is unclear what has to be patched or changed to remove this option to match RHEL. Setting to NEEDINFO. |

I should note too that while 4.4-8 was rebuilt, the same behavior occurs with the presented version 4.5-1 on this bug report. # dnf install ./perftest-4.5-1.el8.x86_64.rpm # ib_write_bw --help | grep dis --disable_pcie_relaxed Disable PCIe relaxed ordering Which leads me to believe it has something to do with the version of the deps used at the time of 4.5-1's initial compile in RHEL. |

The question is who coul provide the required info... I have checked the packages for pertest 4.5-1.el8 on rocky85, alma85, centos85 and rhel85 and found more: The centos, alma and rhel versions are identical (featurewise and linkingwise) while the rockypackage is different. Regarding linking: # ldd ./ib_write_bw_rocky85 linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe440dc000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f72eee70000) libmlx5.so.1 => /lib64/libmlx5.so.1 (0x00007f72eec1d000) libefa.so.1 => /lib64/libefa.so.1 (0x00007f72eea16000) librdmacm.so.1 => /lib64/librdmacm.so.1 (0x00007f72ee7fb000) libibverbs.so.1 => /lib64/libibverbs.so.1 (0x00007f72ee5db000) libpci.so.3 => /lib64/libpci.so.3 (0x00007f72ee3cd000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f72ee1ad000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f72edde8000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f72ef424000) libnl-3.so.200 => /lib64/libnl-3.so.200 (0x00007f72edbc5000) libnl-route-3.so.200 => /lib64/libnl-route-3.so.200 (0x00007f72ed93f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f72ed73b000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib64/libresolv.so.2 (0x00007f72ed524000) The libresolv.so.2 is not required by the centos, alma and rhel versions. Only the rocky version requires it. |

So does the rebuilt version as presented in the comments. # rpm -qip perftest-4.5-1.el8.x86_64.rpm Name : perftest Version : 4.5 Release : 1.el8 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: (not installed) Group : Unspecified Size : 2095501 License : GPLv2 or BSD Signature : (none) Source RPM : perftest-4.5-1.el8.src.rpm Build Date : Mon 28 Mar 2022 03:54:47 PM UTC Build Host : repocompare.rockylinux.org Relocations : (not relocatable) URL : https://github.com/linux-rdma/perftest Summary : IB Performance Tests Description : Perftest is a collection of simple test programs designed to utilize RDMA communications and provide performance numbers over those RDMA connections.

As this report was for an older version of Rocky Linux 8 (8.5) and 8.7 development and prep is on going, this issue will now be closed. If this is still can issue in 8.6, please open a new bug report. |
