The response to
said that 3.5.0 would include a fix in the ‘July’ release.
Writing to inform you that this issue has been reported to NVIDIA Enterprise Experience by another party, and that there is already a fix pending for the upcoming July 2026 DOCA release (DOCA 3.5.0).
This issue impacts compilation against kernel 5.14.0-687.17.1.el9_8 or later.
Can you provide an updated release date?
If 3.5.0 will not be released prior to aug 11, which version prior to 3.4 should we use for our Aug 18 downtime update?
Thank you, – bennet
