make include/linux/version.h
Jumbo Frames System Requirement -------------------------------
Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems that are running Jumbo frames with 64MB of RAM or less. If you are using Jumbo frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum requirement of 64MB of system memory.
Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames -----------------------------------------
Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer size and/or increasing the /proc/sys /net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help. For more details, see the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt.
Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network ------------------------------------------------------
Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain (non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system. This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following:
* Turn on ARP filtering by entering the following:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
* Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains: either in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs.
UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue ------------------------------------
Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for controlling packet reception. Or, you can increase the kernel's default buffer sizes for UDP by changing the values in /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default and rmem_max.
Unplugging Network Cable While ethtool -p is Running ----------------------------------------------------
In kernel versions 2.5.50 and later (including 2.6 kernel), unplugging the network cable while ethtool -p is running will cause the system to become unresponsive to keyboard commands, except for CTRL+ALT+DEL. Restarting the system appears to be the only remedy.
Bonding Configuration ---------------------
While creating the bond, issue the following command:
modprobe -v bonding fail_over_mac=1
Then rebuild the initrd and reboot the system.

=============================================================================== 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
- 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_42_19_rhel5_x86-64_chg
