Description
Hi, I'm using Bitfusion 4.0 server which resides on Photon OS 4.0. It has some infiniband related kernel modules like ib_core, ib_uverbs but there is no ib_ipoib kernel module. Only with this module can bitfusion server get connected with client. In fact, all modules under drivers/infiniband/ulp are missing. How could I bring in these modules?

Research direction
Inspect Photon OS kernel configuration and packaging to see how drivers/infiniband/ulp modules are selected and shipped. Start by checking whether ib_ipoib and the other missing modules are enabled in the kernel build, then verify that a rebuilt or updated package exposes them. Done means Bitfusion can load the required modules and connect the server to a client.
