Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes:
-------
- Fixed the issue where mlnx_affinity script on RHEL/CentOS7.x host did not disable or enable irqbalancer.
- Fixed wrong skprio2UP mapping by removing it and its scripts, such as tc_wrap, from the driver. This mapping should now be done using the kernel's set_egress_map commands.
Note: Only for RDMACM over old kernels, the original skprio2UP mapping in tc_wrap remains valid as these kernels do not support set_egress_-map.
- Fixed the issue where server reboot could get stuck because of kernel panic in mlx-4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from asynchronous event handler.
- Fixed the issue where ethtool self test used to fail on interrupt test after timeout if mlx4_ib module was not loaded.
- Fixed a crash that used to occur when trying to bring the interface up in a kernel that did not support accelerated RFS (aRFS).
- Fixed the issue of when attempting to disable SR-IOV while there are any VF netdevs open, the operation would fail and the driver would hang.
- Fixed the issue of when repeating change of the mlx5_num_vfs value from 0 to non-zero might have caused kernel panic in the PF driver.
Enhancements:
------------------
ConnectX-3 / ConnectX-3 Pro
- Added support for Q-in-Q encapsulation per VF in Linux (VST)
ConnectX-4 / ConnectX-4 Lx
- Added new APIs for enhanced raw Ethernet programming
ConnectX-3 / ConnectX-3 Pro / ConnectX-4 / ConnectX-4 Lx
- The experimental PeerDirect Async APIs have been changed to make the implementation of peer clients simpler.
