=============================================================================== Emulex NIC Device Driver for Linux ===============================================================================
Linux NIC Device Driver Version 4.4.180.0
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). >>

=============================================================================== 10. Known Issues =============================================================================== 10.1 General Known Issue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is a list of general limitations and known issues of the various components of this Mellanox OFED for Linux release. - When upgrading from an earlier Mellanox OFED version, the installation script does not stop the earlier version prior to uninstalling it. Workaround: Stop the old OFED stack (/etc/init.d/openibd stop) before upgrading to this new version. - When upgrading from the previous OFED installation to this release, you must reboot after driver installation since the kernel module ipoib_helper does not unload. - "openibd stop" can sometime fail with the error: Unloading ib_cm [FAILED] ERROR: Module ib_cm is in use by ib_ipoib Workaround: run "openibd stop" again. - Fork support from kernel 2.6.12 and above is available provided that applications do not use threads. fork() is supported as long as the parent process does not run before the child exits or calls exec(). The former can be achieved by calling wait(childpid), and the latter can be achieved by application specific means. The Posix system() call is supported. - The Intel compiler on RH5.4/5.5/5.6 requires that the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 RPM be installed on your host. - When working with ISCSI over IPoIB or mlx4_en, you must disable LRO (even if IPoIB is set to connected mode). This is because there is a bug in older kernels which causes a kernel panic. - OpenMPI and Mvapich with the PGI compiler are not supported on SLES11 32-bit, SLES11 SP1 32-bit, RHEL6.0 and RHEL6.1. - On SLES11, and in case uninstall is failing, check the error log and remove the remaining RPMs manually using 'rpm -e '. - On SLES11, set the allow_unsupported_modules parameter to 1 in the file /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules. Without this setting, the modules will not load. - When working under bonding, unloading the mlx4_en driver may cause unexpected behavior by the bonding driver. - Fallback to the primary slave of an IPoIB bond does not work with ARP monitoring. (https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1990) - MLNX_OFED includes the OFED source RPM packages used as a build platform for kernel code but does not include the sources of Mellanox proprietary packages. For further detail please see section 4. Differences between MLNX_OFED-1.5.3 and OFED 1.5.3.1. - The device capabilities reported may not be reached as it depends on the system on which the device is installed and whether the resource is allocated in kernel or userspace. - mlx4_en with bonding on SLES11 SP1: Do not unload mlx4_en (modprobe -r mlx4_en) while interfaces are enslaved. Unloading mlx4_en kernel module while interfaces are enslaved can lead to unexpected behavior. - Configuring Bonding over IPoIB interfaces while QIB driver is loaded can lead to kernel panic - SDP does not work with EoIB interfaces. - When creating port configuration files using YAST on SLES systems, not all (or no) mlx4_en network interfaces are recognized by the tool. Workaround: The interface configuration needs to be added as a new interface and the MAC address needs to be set manually. - cxgb3i kernel module fails to be loaded after MLNX_OFED installation: # service iscsid start Starting iSCSI daemon: FATAL: Error inserting cxgb3i (/lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/kernel/drivers/scsi/cxgb3i/cxgb3i.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
cxgb3i: disagrees about version of symbol cxgb3_register_client cxgb3i: Unknown symbol cxgb3_register_client cxgb3i: disagrees about version of symbol cxgb3_alloc_atid cxgb3i: Unknown symbol cxgb3_alloc_atid ... - On Citrix XenServer Host 5.6.100-39215p mlx4_core driver may failed to be loaded with the following error: mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: NOP command failed to generate MSI-X interrupt IRQ 1217). mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: Trying again without MSI-X. mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: SW2HW_EQ failed (-110) mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: Failed to initialize event queue table, aborting.
The problem isn't seen on Xen Server 5.6 sp2 (exact version 5.6.100-46766p kernel 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs5.6.100.323.170596xen).
- On Citrix XenServer 5.6 the iser initiator may get from the dom0 kernel "bad" dma addressees for the iscsi login request/response buffer which if used result in data-corruption during login. Limiting the buffer used for login to 4k seems to provide work around for the problem. If the driver would observe such "bad" dma address, it will intentionally fail the login attempt, such that a similar to the following message will be printed to the system log:
iser: iser_create_ib_conn_res:login buf cc5c0000 size 16460 kvirt/dma - req cc5c0000/77d7000 \ resp cc5c2000/77d9000 dma err 0/0 bad 1/1 iser: iser_create_ib_conn_res:unable to alloc mem or create resource, err -12 iser: iscsi_iser_ep_poll:ib conn c9f864bc rc = -1
-- note that the size is 16460 where with the workaround applied it will be 4096
when things are okay, the following should be seen
- EoIB (mlx4_vnic) is not supported on SLES10 SP4 - To forward TCP traffic LRO should be disabled (Relevant for IPoIB, EoIB and MLX4_EN) To disable LRO EoIB: modprobe mlx4_vnic lro_num=0 IPoIB: Set "options ib_ipoib lro=0" in /etc/modprobe.d/ib_ipoib.conf MLX4_EN: Use ethtool: ethtool --offload lro off - mlx4_vnic kernel module (EoIB) is not loaded by default. Workaround: Set MLX4_VNIC_LOAD=yes in /etc/infiniband/openib.conf to load mlx4_vnic upon boot.
- Running more than 2 instances of openSM in the same IB subnet has not been qualified.
- An IPoIB cannot be a full member of a Multicast Group (MC) if the "umcast" flag (/sys/class/net/$dev/umcast) is set to 1, or if that IPoIB has previously joined the MC group as a "send only" member
- The introduction of 64 bit CQE support in ConnectX3 devices has increased the ABI version of the kernel. Thus upgrading the included libmlx4 library accordingly. Hence, old libraries/executables that were built using the older headers will fail to load. Workaround: Rebuild the binaries using the new headers.
- Ethernet and RoCE cannot work on the same port of ConnectX-2 device. Note: To receive ConnectX-2 firmware that fix this issue, please contact your Mellanox representative.
RoCE ONLY: - PowerPC and ia64 architecture currently are not supported. - x32 architectures were not tested. - SRP is currently not supported.
- When running the ibdiagnet check nodes_info on the fabric, a warning specifying that the card does not support general info capabilities for all the HCAs in the fabric will be displayed. Workaround: Run ibdiagnet --skip nodes_info
- On RHEL6.3, mlnxofedinstall gives the following warning:
Installing kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel RPM Preparing... ################################################## kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel ################################################## WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ib_ipath.ko needs unknown symbol ib_wq WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ib_ipath.ko needs unknown symbol ib_wq
This message can be safely ignored. ib_ipath driver was replaced by ib_qib driver.
- When the HCA temperature reaches its threshold, (default, 105 Celsius degrees), the following message is logged in the kernel logs (the device number and the index may be different):
mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: Unhandled event 1b(00) on EQ 11 at index 3986
If this message appears in the logs, please check the server's cooling system.
- The parameters below must be added to the IPoIB interfaces' configuration files (ifcfg-ibX) on RHEL6.3 otherwise, different network interfaces may get the same IP address.
NM_CONTROLLED="yes" TYPE="InfiniBand"
- perftest: Removed rdma_bw and rdma_lat tests from the perftest package. All of their features and functionality are contained in other tests. They originally performed SEND verb with/o rdma_cm, this feature is already supported in all other tests with "-R" flag. When using this feature ("-R"), you must supply the IPoIB interface IP in order to connect them.
- When working with RAW packet QP, VLAN is always stripped upon received packets, but VLAN insertion is not executed upon transmitted packets.
- Unloading the mlx4_ib driver either directly (by unloading the module/driver) or indirectly (by rebooting the machine) when the IPoIB network I/Fs are aggregated using bonding may result in a kernel oops. Workaround: Remove the IPoIB network I/Fs from the bond before unloading the driver.
- Changing the port link layer protocol using connectx_port_config in parallel to RDS traffic may result in a kernel oops. Workaround: Stop the RDS traffic before changing the port’s link layer protocol.
10.2 SRP Oracle ZFS Target Known Issues ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - When using the Oracle ZFS target, after an initiator reboot, with no graceful shutdown, the initiator tries to reconnect to the target and receives stale connection reject. The initiator quits retrying after 3 times.
- Occasionally, when using the Oracle ZFS target, the first command on one of the paths to the target gets stuck. This triggers the initiator error recovery, however, the operation is not always successful.
- When using the Oracle ZFS target, running "opensm –r" during active traffic makes LUNs become read-only.
- When using the Oracle ZFS target, during failover/failback operations, the initiator may lose all or some paths to LUNs, filesystem on LUNs may become read-only, and the ZFS appliance may hang until all initiators are rebooted.
Note: See the release notes of each component for additional issues.
=============================================================================== 11. Bug Fixes =============================================================================== The following are the list of bug fixes: - Fixed an issue which caused kernel panic when loading SRP module - Fixed an issue occurred upon reboot when the SM was in reassign LID process - Fixed an issue during multipath failover which caused a filesystem to become read-only - Fixed an issue which caused the initiator to hang in a specific scenario of an HCA link going down and back up - Fixed an issue which caused the initiator to hang when all paths to a device are Offline and multipathd is trying to find an active path - Fixed an issue wich caused the initiator to hang in a specific scenario when mounting a connected LUN mlnx_fw_nic_1_5_3-4_0_22_5_rhel6_x86-64_chg

tg3: Avoid panic from reserved statblk field access

tg3: Fix RSS ring refill race condition
The RSS feature in tg3 hardware has only one rx producer ring for all RSS rings. NAPI vector 1 is special and handles the refilling of the rx producer ring on behalf of all RSS rings. There is a race condition between these RSS NAPIs and the NAPI[1]. If NAPI[1] finishes checking for refill and then another RSS ring empties the rx producer ring before NAPI[1] exits NAPI, the chip will be completely out of SKBs in the rx producer ring.
We fix this by adding a flag tp->rx_refill and rely on napi_schedule()/ napi_complete() to help synchronize it to close the race condition.
Update driver version to 3.123.

tg3: Fix tg3_get_stats64 for 5700 / 5701 devs
tg3_get_stats64() takes tp->lock when dealing with non-serdes bcm5700 and bcm5701 devices. However, functions that call tg3_halt() have already acquired tp->lock. When tg3_get_stats64() is called in tg3_halt(), deadlock will occur.
This patch fixes the problem by separating the stat gathering code into a new tg3_get_nstats() function. tg3_get_stats64() is recoded to call this function and take tp->lock. The code that takes tp->lock in tg3_calc_crc_errors() has been removed. Function signatures have been cleaned up too.

tg3: Clear RECOVERY_PENDING with reset_task_cancel
If an error happens in the tx completion thread, tg3_reset_task will be scheduled and TX_RECOVERY_PENDING will be set. The TX_RECOVERY_PENDING flag causes tg3_poll[_msix] to return early before doing much of its work. Tg3_reset_task() gets canceled when the configuration of the device is changing, which always results in a chip reset. When this happens, the TX_RECOVERY_PENDING flag may be left set, which would unnecessarily hinder tg3_poll from doing work. This patch fixes the problem.

Kdump kernels leave MSI-X interrupts (as setup by the crashed kernel) enabled. However, kdump only enables one CPU in the new environment, thus causing tg3 to abort MSI-X setup. When the driver attempts to enable INTA or MSI interrupt modes on a kdump kernel, interrupt delivery fails.

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.

Commit 28011cf19b (net: Add ethtool to mii advertisment conversion helpers) added a helper function ethtool_adv_to_mii_100bt() and tg3_copper_is_advertising_all(), tg3_phy_autoneg_cfg() were modified to use this. Before that commit, ethtool to mii advertisement conversion was done wrt speed, but now pause operation is also taken account. So, in tg3_copper_is_advertising_all(), below condition becomes true and this makes link up fails.
if ((adv_reg & ADVERTISE_ALL) != all_mask) return 0;
To fix this add ADVERTISE_ALL bit and operation to cap speed, and change default advertisement not including ADVERTISED_Pause.

tg3: switch to build_skb() infrastructure
This is very similar to bnx2x conversion, but simpler since no special alignement is required, so goal was not to reduce skb truesize.
Using build_skb() reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff structures is lower, they are more likely recycled in SLUB caches while still hot.

tg3: Schedule at most one tg3_reset_task run
It is possible for multiple threads in the tg3 driver to each attempt to schedule a run of tg3_reset_task(). The multiple tg3_reset_task executions could all wind up on the same queue (and execute serially) or wind up on the queues of another processor (which could execute in parallel). Either scenario is not what was truly desired.
This patch adds a new flag, TG3_FLAG_RESET_TASK_PENDING, and uses it to determine whether or not to schedule another run of tg3_reset_task(). With the new flag comes two new functions to facilitate scheduling and descheduling of tg3_reset_task().

The new 4k tx bd segmentation code had a bug in the error cleanup path.
