Firmware Version: 10.2.261.36 Supported On: IBM System x, BladeCenter, and Flex
Problems Fixed: - FRU VPD fields are now properly populated on CN4054 and CN4054R - Fixed UE resulting slow boot at UEFI splash screen and NIC devices removed - When using VMQ with Windows Server 2012 or 2012R2, the user may experience VM connectivity loss, packet drops, system hangs, inability to shutdown VMs and possible system crashes on shutdown. The complete solution also requires 10.2 based Windows NIC driver.
Incremental Interoperability: - Inventory support for the Flex xHMC (Chassis Hardware Management Console)
Known Issues: - Server hangs at "Scan for Fibre Devices", when port disable/enable performed on the Brocade Converged 10 Gb Ethernet Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter. Do not force the link down after POST has completed and then attempt a discovery of the SAN. If you do a reboot is needed.(159125)
- To disable BFS after BOFM or IFM have been enabled, it must be done by setting BFS manually in the EFIBoot config utility or sending a BOFM default command to the port. This is working as expected and we are documenting it here.(159505)
- Intermittently, 255 vPorts can not be created successfully in Windows with the error "ERROR: <127>: Not enough HBA or fabric resources. VPort not created!". There is no known workaround other than to reduce the number of configured vPorts.(155807)
- Target login will fail if you dynamically reconfigure the SAN after POST has executed. If you do, then reboot the system.(159121)
- PXESelect showing incorrect MAC address, bandwidth & SVID values. This bug is a cosmetic issue and only impacts PXESelect. The values which are not displayed correctly in PXESelect can be viewed in UEFI, OCM, and on the switch.(151140)
- IFM Boot target is consumed on a particular port even though the target is not accessible to that port. IFM/BOFM boot target configuration is not supported. This limitation has existed for several code releases and we are now documenting it here.(159226)
- "Configurations have changed" message seen in UEFI setup screen when no changes were made. This pop-up can be ignored and will be fixed in a future code release.(159086)
- The server may hang at "Connecting Boot Devices and Adapters" if both FCoE ports have boot targets configured when using a 10Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for IBM BladeCenter. The server will not hang if only a single port is configured with a boot target.(157137)
- FCoE VLAN ID is being displayed incorrectly as hexadecimal in UEFI menu. This is a cosmetic issue only. The correct VLAN is properly assigned, so there is no functional impact. The actual VLAN ID can be observed elsewhere. (159561)
- In FCoE configurations with BE3 in UFP mode on System x3690 X5 servers, a UEFI rescan is required to boot to the OS. This renders UFP not supportable in UFP/FCoE configurations(158669)
- After making changes to any options in the sub-menus under 'controller configuration' in the Emulex UEFI NIC configuration utility and escaping to the prior menu, there is no prompt to save the changes. Be sure to select 'Save' before exiting the configuration menu. Applies to some legacy rack and blade servers.
- Intermittently, when changing the multichannel mode, the system will not auto-reboot after exiting F1 UEFI setup and will continue through POST. Manually reboot the server to ensure all changes are applied. Applies to some legacy rack and blade servers.
- When using a Cisco Nexus 4001i Switch Module, intermittently the 10Gb link may come up as 1Gb link speed. An internal switch port bounce will typically establish a 10Gb link. Setting the switch port speed to fixed 10000 will also allow a guaranteed 10Gb connection. More info available in the Cisco Nexus 4001i Switch Module firmware release notes.

tg3: Poll cpmu link state on APE + ASF enabled devices
On ASF enabled devices where the mgmt firmware runs on the application processing engine, there is a race between the tg3 driver processing a link change event and the ASF firmware clearing the link changed bit in the EMAC status register. This leads to link notifications to the driver sometimes getting lost.
Poll the CPMU link state as a backup for the normal interrupt path update if ASF is enabled.

tg3: Set the MAC clock to the fastest speed during boot code load
On the 5717, 5718 and 5719 devices, the bootcode runs slower when any port doesn't have a link due to clock speed slowing down as part of the link-aware feature. This leads to the driver timing out waiting for the bootcode signature.
This patch overrides the clock policy to the highest frequency just before reset and restores it after the bootcode is up.

tg3: Initialize REG_BASE_ADDR at PCI config offset 120 to 0
The new tg3 driver leaves REG_BASE_ADDR (PCI config offset 120) uninitialized. From power on reset this register may have garbage in it. The Register Base Address register defines the device local address of a register. The data pointed to by this location is read or written using the Register Data register (PCI config offset 128). When REG_BASE_ADDR has garbage any read or write of Register Data Register (PCI 128) will cause the PCI bus to lock up. The TCO watchdog will fire and bring down the system.

PCI / tg3: Give up chip reset and carrier loss handling if PCI device is not present
Modify tg3_chip_reset() and tg3_close() to check if the PCI network adapter device is accessible at all in order to skip poking it or trying to handle a carrier loss in vain when that's not the case. Introduce a special PCI helper function pci_device_is_present() for this purpose.
Of course, this uncovers the lack of the appropriate RTNL locking in tg3_suspend() and tg3_resume(), so add that locking in there too.
These changes prevent tg3 from burning a CPU at 100% load level for solid several seconds after the Thunderbolt link is disconnected from a Matrox DS1 docking station.

tg3: avoid double-freeing of rx data memory
If build_skb fails the memory associated with the ring buffer is freed but the ri->data member is not zeroed in this case. This causes a double-free of this memory in tg3_free_rings->... path.

When phylib was in use tg3 only searched at address 01 on the mdio bus and did not work with any other address. On the BCM4705 SoCs the switch is connected as a PHY behind the MAC driven by tg3 and it is at PHY address 30 in most cases. This is a preparation patch to allow support for such switches.

drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherent
__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO to the more common kernel style with zalloc.
Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead.
Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of dma_zalloc_coherent.

net: tg3: fix NULL pointer dereference in tg3_io_error_detected and tg3_io_slot_reset
Commit d8af4dfd8 ("net/tg3: Fix kernel crash") introduced a possible NULL pointer dereference in tg3 driver when !netdev || !netif_running(netdev) condition is met and netdev is NULL. Then, the jump to the 'done' label calls dev_close() with a netdevice that is NULL. Therefore, only call dev_close() when we have a netdevice, but one that is not running.
[ Add the same checks in tg3_io_slot_reset() per Gavin Shan - by Nithin Nayak Sujir ]

The 5762 devices sometimes incorrectly treat udp fragments as RMCP packets and route to the APE. This patch sets the RX_MODE_IPV4_FRAG_FIX bit for these devices which enables the proper behaviour.

The PTP_CAPABLE tg3 devices have a gpio output that is toggled when the free running counter matches a watchdog value. This patch adds support to set the watchdog and enable this feature.
Since the output is controlled via bits in the EAV_REF_CLCK_CTL register, we have to read-modify-write it when we stop/resume.

tg3: Allow NVRAM programming when interface is down
Previously, when the interface was brought down, the driver would set the power state to D3hot. In D3hot, we don't have access to the NVRAM. This patch removes the call to set the power state to PCI_D3hot in close. A following patch will implement the shutdown handler to properly set the D3hot state when the system is going down.
Doing the above means that the TG3_PHYFLG_IS_LOW_POWER should not be checked to validate access to the NVRAM.

During probe, the driver is incorrectly switching the power to Vaux on the 5717 and later devices. At this point, we are in D0 state and drawing maximum power. We also definitely have Vmain available. It doesn't make sense to switch to Vaux since it has a lesser maximum power draw and we might go over the limit. On a new system, we observe that not all ports are recognized in some of the slots with this call in place.

When the EEH error is the result of a fenced host bridge, MMIO accesses can be very slow (milliseconds) to timeout and return all 1's, thus causing the driver various timeout loops to take way too long and trigger soft-lockup warnings (in addition to taking minutes to recover).
It might be worthwhile to check if for any of these cases, ffffffff is a valid possible value, and if not, bail early since that means the HW is either gone or isolated. In the meantime, checking that the PCI channel is offline would be workaround of the problem.

tg3: Prevent system hang during repeated EEH errors.
The current tg3 code assumes the pci_error_handlers to be always called in sequence. In particular, during ->error_detected(), NAPI is disabled and the device is shutdown. The device is later reset and NAPI re-enabled in ->slot_reset() and ->resume().
In EEH, if more than 6 errors are detected in a hour, only ->error_detected() will be called. This will leave the driver in an inconsistent state as NAPI is disabled but netif_running state is still true. When the device is later closed, we'll try to disable NAPI again and it will loop forever.
We fix this by closing the device if we encounter any error conditions during the normal sequence of the pci_error_handlers.
v2: Remove the changes in tg3_io_resume() based on Benjamin Poirier's feedback.

Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race exists on open since we come up from a power on.
This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if the device does not have firmware.

tg3: Split APE driver state change out of boot reset signature update
Unlike the boot signature that needs to be set before every reset, the ape state only needs to be updated to tell the firmware that the driver is now taking/releasing control of the hardware. Move the calls to tg3_ape_driver_state_change() to better, more appropriate places.
Also, the firmware does not distinguish between SUSPEND and START states anymore. Remove the SUSPEND case in the switch.

tg3: Ensure boot code has completed initialization before accessing hardware
After resetting the device, the driver waits for a signature to be updated to know that firmware has completed initialization. However, the call to tg3_poll_fw() is being done too late and we're writing to the GRC_MODE register before it has completely initialized, causing contention with firmware. This logic has existed since day one but is causing PCIE link to go down randomly at startup on one platform once every few hundred reboots.
Move the tg3_poll_fw() up to before we write to the GRC_MODE register after reset.

Add tg3_eee_pull_config() to pull the settings from the hardware and populate the eee structure.
If Link Flap Avoidance is enabled, we pull the eee settings from the hw so as not to cause a phy reset on eee config mismatch later. This requires moving down tg3_setup_eee() below the tg3_pull_config() to not trample existing settings.
