Rocky/RHEL 8.10 support

Apparently, OFED 23.10 doesn’t work on recent Rocky/RHEL 8.10 kernels (seen today on 4.18.0-553.22.1.el8_10.x86_64). The mlx5_ib is unable to load due to unknown symbol errors. (see below)

When can we expect support for these newer kernels from OFED? Rocky/RHEL 8.10 is listed as supported on Linux InfiniBand Drivers with version MLNX_OFED_LINUX-23.10-3.2.2.0-rhel8.10-x86_64.tgz, but it produces these errors, and I am apparently not able to build from sources either…

For example:

Oct 29 21:51:22 weka64 kernel: mlx5_ib: disagrees about version of symbol ib_umem_release
Oct 29 21:51:22 weka64 kernel: mlx5_ib: Unknown symbol ib_umem_release (err -22)

Some additional information… kernel .8 works, but .16 and .22 do not.

ie: 4.18.0-553.8.1.el8_10.x86_64 works, but 4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_10.x86_64 and 4.18.0-553.22.1.el8_10.x86_64 do not.

This is a pretty big issue, as updating the system with current kernel security fixes breaks the network.
