 Release Notes Broadcom tg3 Linux Driver Version 3.137q 09/21/2016
Broadcom Limited 5300 California Avenue, Irvine, CA 92617
Copyright (C) 2010-2016 Broadcom All Rights Reserved v3.137q (Sep 21, 2016) ====================== fixes ----- 1) Problem: (22536) tg3 - Add support for SLES12 SP2 kernel Cause: SLES12 SP2 distro has new kernel Change: Modified tg3 source to support SLES12 SP2 distro Impact: Linux only
v3.137p (Jun 17, 2016) ====================== Enhancements ------------ 1) Change: Update the ChangeLog for tg3 rpm files Impact: Linux only
2) Problem: (22045) tg3 - Change new copyright information for tg3 Cause: This is a new requirement from Broadcom legal team Change: Updated the new copyright information for tg3 source files Impact: None
v3.137o (Dec 15, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (21366) tg3 - Driver syslog entries show module name as 'pcieport', instead of 'tg3'. Cause: It's a minor bug in tg3_compat.h wrt newer kernels. Change: Added the code to make tg3_compat.h check for correct key word. Impact: Minimal (Linux only)
2) Problem: tg3 - Work around HW/FW limitations with vlan encapsulated frames. Cause: It's a medium change in tg3.c transmit path with TSO enabled. Change: Added the code to tg3.c for vlan encapsulated frames HW work around. Impact: Linux Tx path with TSO enabled.
3) Problem: (21354) tg3 - Fix for tg3 transmit queue 0 timed out when too many gso_segs. Cause: It's a medium change in tg3.c GSO transmit path with TSO enabled. Change: Added the code to tg3.c for avoiding GSO in SW for certain condition. Impact: Linux Tx path with TSO enabled.
v3.137n (Nov 04, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (21109) tg3 - Please add support for 5720 inverting serdes signal detect feature. Cause: It's a new enhancement specific to a given customer. Change: Added the code to make driver invert the serdes. Impact: Minimal (Linux only)
v3.137m (Sep 09, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (20985) tg3 driver doesn't compile under RHEL 7.2 Cause: Macros vlan_tx_tag_present and vlan_tx_tag_get are renamed in RHEL 7.2 Change: Added the fix to make driver code compatible for RHEL 7.2 also. Impact: Linux only
v3.137l (June 14, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (20645) Packet loss while running Heavy IO stress on all ESX Operating systems Cause: pci_channel_offline() function was wrongly reporting PCI channel as offline because of VMKernel reporting pdev->error_state incorrectly. Change: Added back the old fix from 3.137h releases and force return 0 (online) from pci_channel_offline(). Impact: VMware only
v3.137k (April 02, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (20502/20507) tg3 driver does not compile for 3.16.0 kernels Cause: This issue because of change of memeber variables .get_rxfh_indir/.set_rxfh_indir to .get_rxfh/.get_rxfh. Change: Added compile switch to fix this issue. Impact: Linux only
2) Problem: (20496) tg3 driver does not compile for Redhat EL 4.8 Cause: This issue because of tg3 driver missing defines in old kernel and shutdown is not defined in struct pci_driver. Change: Added missing defines and added compile switch to avoid compile error Impact: Linux only
3) Problem: (20413/19887) KVM PCI passthrough failed for tg3 on SUSE 11.3 Cause: This issue because of KVM PCI Pass-thru mode Qemu is dropping the pci config space writes to 0x68. Change: Added redundant writes to 0x68 to fix this issue. Impact: Linux only
4) Problem: tg3 driver does not compile for RHEL 5.11 kernel Cause: This issue because of redefinition of pci_channel_offline. Change: Added compile switch to avoid redefinition. Impact: Linux only
5) Problem: (20509)[SLES11SP4] After installation of latest driver 3.137j, interfaces dont come up Cause: This issue because of policy enforcement from SUSE for external modules. Change: No change except this rpm version is signed by SUSE. Impact: Linux SLSE 11 SP4 and SLES 12 only
v3.137j (March 25, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (20478) tg3 driver does not compile for SLES11 sp4 Cause: This issue because of change of kernel header file paths. Change: Updated makeflags.sh to point correct header files path. Impact: Linux only
2) Problem: (20397) tg3 driver does not compile for Debian 7.7 Cause: This issue because of change in arguments for ptp_clock_register in debian kernel and missing mmd_eee_adv_to_ethtool_adv_t for this kernel. Change: Updated code to reflect required number of arguments and enabled mmd_eee_adv_to_ethtool_adv_t function. Impact: Linux only
3) Problem: (20238) The OperationalStatus of the network controller driver takes about ~ 5 minutes to become 2 ("OK") from 13 ("Lost Communication") when the system comes up after reboot Cause: This issue because of conversion of unsigned long jiffies values to signed in 32 bit kernels. Change: Added code to initialize heartbeat initial jiffies to current jiffies. Impact: Linux only
v3.137i (March 05, 2015) ====================== Fixes ------------ 1) Problem: (20116)MD5 sum mismatch while unpack rpm source (20449)tg3 driver failed to install on RHEL 5.11 OS (20360)T3 source rpm file failed to install on Citrix 6.2 ddk. Cause: This is a build server issue where this src rpm has been generated. We have packaged a prelinked library /lib/libgcc_s.so.1. Which may fail in some distors. The fix is to run prelink --undo on the build machine before creating src rpm. Change: New src.rpm has been built again after correcting the build server for above issue. Impact: No code change. Affects only TG3 driver Installation from src rpm.
