Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that occasionally caused the system to crash when the vNic was detached from the VM during heavy traffic when in VMQ\VMMQ mode.
- Fixed an issue where the RoCE connection failed as a result of an incorrect GID when the Universal/Local (U/L) bit in the MAC was set to 1.
- Disabled the option to stop the uninstall process once the driver uninstallation process started.
- Fixed an issue that caused networks with new Subnet Managers (OpenSM 4.7.0 and up) to drop malformed multicast-join packets issued by the driver. The driver now constructs the multicast join request correctly.
- In case the DSCP values are lower than the max priority i.e: DSCP(4)- >Prio(0) when mapping the DSCP to a certain priority, the priority value will be set the same as the DSCP value.
- Fixed an issue that caused the driver to hang when issuing an OID_SRIOV_RESET_VF request to reset a specified PCI Express (PCIe) Virtual Function (VF) due to a race between the resiliency flow and the FLR request.
- Fixed an issue that caused the driver to reset the adapter as a result of a false alarm of a stuck receive queue.
- Fixed an issue that caused a Black Screen upon driver removal due to extremely low memory conditions, when the memory allocations started to fail.
- Fixed a BSOD that occurred on servers with more than 64 cores as the Tx traffic did not honor the Tx affinity implied by the TSS, when the number of potential RSS CPUs was greater than 64.
- When the mlxtool dbg resources command is executed, the FS_RULE quota number is displayed instead of the 'Managed by PF' message.
- When setting the LogNumQp and LogNumRdmaRc registry settings to their maximum value, the WinOF bus driver fails to load.
- When installing the driver over Windows 2012R2 inbox driver, the LogNumQP parameter remains in the registry. Thus, a number of QPs are limited to 64Kinstead of 512K (the driver default).
- Fixed an issue that caused a system crash during driver startup when working in RSS mode.
- Fixed a race in the Communication Manager that could cause a crash while attempting to obtain ND/NDK connection. This was an atypical issue that required an unusual timing of events.
- Fixed an issue that caused the VM to crash when restarting the PF drivers and their peers in the target machine
- Fixed an issue that caused a memory leak when RoCE was enabled
- Fixed an issue that set a wrong value to the *ReceiveBuffers key when it was restored to default
- Fixed a crash that occurred when changing the Ethernet IP address while RDMA traffic was running.
- Fixed a BSOD that occurred when a memory allocation failed upon driver startup.
- Fixed an issue where the connection port numbers did not increase sequentially when running nd_*_bw application with multiple QPs.
- Fixed an issue that caused a crash upon ND connection establishment.
- Fixed an issue where the Tx traffic did not honor the Tx affinity implied by the TSS when the number of potential RSS CPUs was greater than 64.
- Fixed an issue that limited the number of QPs to 64K instead of 512K (the driver default) when installing the driver over Windows 2012 R2 Inbox driver as the LogNumQP parameter remained in the registry/


Enhancements:
- Dump Me Now (DMN) is a bus driver (mlx4_bus.sys) feature that generates dumps and traces from various components, including hardware, firmware and software, upon internally detected issues (by the resiliency sensors), user requests (mlxtool) or ND application requests via the extended Mellanox ND API. DMN is unsupported on VFs.
- Added supports for systems with up to 252 logical processors when Hyperthreading is enabled and up to 126 logical processors when Hyperthreading is disabled.
- Added support for RSC solution in TCP/IP traffic to reduce CPU overhead.
- Added support for extended NDSPI to control CQ moderation.
- Added a new counter for packets with no destination resource.
- Added a new registry
