Integrated Management Module (IMM) Firmware Update Change History
IMPORTANT: Prerequisite for updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) ========== Updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) requires the current IMM firmware version to be 1.10 (yuoo57h), or later. If this prerequisite is not met before updating to version 1.30 (yuooc7e) the system will not power on correctly. If the system is not running a minimum of IMM version 1.10 (yuoo57h), update the IMM before attempting to update to 1.30 (yuooc7e). This prerequisite was a limitation of IMM version 1.30, and it has been fixed in IMM version 1.31(yuooc7f). This prerequisite does not apply to IMM version 1.31 or later.
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT apply the firmware update (yuoo91e, v1.24) ========= if you are using AEM functions in x3620M3 or x3630M3. The v1.24 firmware will disable the power capping functionality in those two systems. Please remain on the current IMM version or update the firmware to v1.25 or newer. Users not using AEM functions can still update to v1.24.
IMPORTANT: Read before using the MAX5 ========== This Technical Update supplements the documentation that comes with the IBM MAX5 for System x. Keep this document with your other MAX5 documentation. Before you attach the MAX5 to the server and try to use it, you must update the server firmware with the latest level of firmware or code. If you attach and try to use the MAX5 without updating the server firmware, you might get unexpected system behavior or the server might not power on. For special instructions to follow before you attach the MAX5 to the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5085756.
IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access these pages, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ and follow the instructions.
IMPORTANT: If you are at IMM firmware versions prior to 1.12 (yuoo67c) and ========== updating IMM firmware in Microsoft Windows, when you update IMM to versions between 1.14 (YUOO73M) and 1.30 (YUOOC7E), it will take up to 10 minutes additional wait time; when you update IMM to version 1.30 (YUOOC7E) or later, it will take up to 20 minutes additional wait time. This is due to the iflash tool checking the IMM before flashing. During this time the flashing process may appear hung or unresponsive. The flashing will then complete and there is no functional impact.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the current IMM firmware level is 1.14 or later ========== before you update the uEFI, FPGA, or DSA Preboot firmware. The recommended firmware update sequence is IMM followed by UEFI followed by FPGA followed by DSA Preboot.
IMPORTANT: A firmware change was made in YUOO57H (v1.10) that enforces the ========= requirement for login accounts on the IMM to have passwords that contain both alpha and numeric characters. If you are updating the IMM firmware from YUOO56K (v1.09) or earlier, to YUOO57H (v1.10) or newer, prior to updating the firmware, please ensure that the IMM user account passwords contain both alpha and numeric characters. If the firmware is updated and the passwords do not contain both alpha and numeric characters, you may need to reset the IMM to its default settings using the menus in the UEFI F1 set up display.
IMPORTANT: When updating the IMM firmware from a version earlier than ========= version 1.05 (build YUOO32F) to version 1.05 or newer, the Remote Alert Recipient Email Addresses and the Daylight Saving Time setting will revert to the default setting. Users that utilize these settings will need to set them again after the update.
IMPORTANT: When updating IMM, uEFI, pDSA, FPGA via any method, ========== please follow firmware update best practice document (http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?brand= 5000020&lndocid=MIGR-5082923) for suggested update sequence and prerequisite.
IMPORTANT: Due to an Intel errata, if your server is running a 32-bit Linux ========== Operating System, C-states may need to be disabled while updating uEFI, IMM, or DSA Preboot through the Linux command line interface. See RETAIN TIP H195678 for more information. Updates performed through the AMM, Bootable Media Creator, or the IMM web or CLI interfaces do not have this requirement.
IMPORTANT: Updated firmware version numbers might not be visible in SMBIOS ========== tables until after the server is rebooted.
IMPORTANT: After downgrading IMM firmware from version 1.22 ========== to an earlier version, the user needs to reset the IMM to factory default before normal operation.

=============================================================================== Emulex NIC Device Driver for Linux ===============================================================================
Linux NIC Device Driver Version: 4.2.389.0
Problems Fixed: - Unloading the driver hangs the system after running IPv6 traffic - Link status messages cleaned up when in Switch Agnostic mode - Miscellaneous network performance issues to improve throughput - Miscellaneous problems related to SRIOV to improve usability - Ethtool wol command displays wol enabled even when disabled - Ethtool speed reported as 10000Mb/s for disabled devices in Switch Agnostic mode
Incremental Interoperability: - RHEL6.3 GA Kernel - Increase default B/W for SRIOV vf's to 10Gb from 100Mb
Known Issues: - SR-IOV configuration section of the Linux NIC Driver Documentation will be modified as follows to improve clarity (noted by << >>):
11. Use the Virtual Machine Manager GUI to attach the VF (step 7 on page 34) to the guest operating system by using the add physical device option.
<< Note 1: If user wants to re-configure an already configured setup, it can be done by removing the attached VF from the respective guest operating system using the remove option after selecting the VF attached. And then attaching another VF (step 11).
Note 2: Consult the documentation for your host operating system for help using the Virtual Machine Manager to attach and detach virtual interfaces. >>
12. Start the RHEL 6.x guest operating system. Once the guest operating system is booted, use the lspci command to confirm the visibility of the OneConnect NIC function. The output shows a OneConnect NIC function, for example: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corp. Emulex OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3)
13. The OneConnect Ethernet driver automatically loads with the inbox driver, and creates the network interfaces. Use the ifconfig command to verify that the interface is created.
14. After configuring the network interfaces with proper IP addresses, you can send and receive network traffic from the VM. << (Consult the documentation for your host and guest operating systems for network configuration help). >>

tg3: Make the RSS indir tbl admin configurable
This patch adds the ethtool callbacks necessary to change the rss indirection table from userspace. Should the number of interrupts change (e.g. across a close / open call, or through a reset) and any one of the indirection table values fall out-of-range, the driver will reset the indirection table to a default layout.

tg3: Scale back code that modifies MRRS
Tg3 normally gets a performance boost by increasing the PCI Maximum Read Request Size (MRRS) to 4k. Unfortunately, this is causing some problems on particular hardware platforms. This patch removes all code that modifies the MRRS except for one case.
As part of a solution to fix an internal FIFO problem on the 5719, the driver artificially capped the MRRS to 2k for the entire 5719, and later 5720, ASIC revs. This was overly aggressive and only really needed to be done for the 5719 A0. In the spirit of the rest of this patch, the driver will only reprogram the MRRS for this device if the value exceeds the 2k cap.

tg3: Fix TSO CAP for 5704 devs w / ASF enabled
On the earliest TSO capable devices, TSO was accomplished through firmware. The TSO cannot coexist with ASF management firmware though. The tg3 driver determines whether or not ASF is enabled by calling tg3_get_eeprom_hw_cfg(), which checks a particular bit of NIC memory. Commit dabc5c670d3f86d15ee4f42ab38ec5bd2682487d, entitled "tg3: Move TSO_CAPABLE assignment", accidentally moved the code that determines TSO capabilities earlier than the call to tg3_get_eeprom_hw_cfg(). As a consequence, the driver was attempting to determine TSO capabilities before it had all the data it needed to make the decision.
This patch fixes the problem by revisiting and reevaluating the decision after tg3_get_eeprom_hw_cfg() is called.

As the driver breaks large skb fragments into smaller submissions to the hardware, there is a new danger that BDs might get exhausted before all fragments have been mapped. This patch adds code to make sure tx BDs aren't oversubscribed and flag the condition if it happens.

The following patches are going to break skb fragments into smaller sizes. This patch attempts to make the change easier to digest by only addressing the skb teardown portion.
The patch modifies the driver to skip over any BDs that have a flag set that indicates the BD isn't the beginning of an skb fragment. Such BDs were a result of segmentation and do not need a pci_unmap_page() call.
