Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes: - Fixed BSOD that occurs when iSCSI booting in UEFI mode on port 2 using Inbox drivers or WinOF 1.80 or lower drivers. - The "NDISTest 6.5 - [2 Machine] - Stats" HLK test may fail due to inaccurate statistics caused by the counters caching mechanism in the driver. - Updating the non-default vPort's VM network interface RSS parameter during heavy traffic in vRSS mode could cause the host and non-default vPorts network interfaces to reset, and a momentary disruption in network connectivity - Modified the amount of requested MSI-X vectors dependency in the VM when in SR-IOV mode. Now the amount of requested MSI-X vectors depends on RSS configuration only and is no longer limited by the inf file - Fixed an issue that caused the firmware upgrade process to fail when upgrading the driver to a newer version. - In some scenarios, since the default LRO/RSC coalescing value is 4K, 100GbE bandwidth cannot be reached. - When the VMQ mode is enabled in a virtual switch, the RSS-enabled network adapter supports only 60 VMNICs, in spite of the 124 advertised. Thus, only 60 VMQs for virtual NICs are available and HLK VMQ tests fail. - Setting the *TransmitBuffers parameter to a value that is not a power of 2 causes a BSOD while sending packets. - The description of the Send queues priority counter on the performance monitor is incorrect. - The driver must be restarted in order to switch from RSS to NonRSS mode. Therefore, if a PowerShell command is used on a specific VM to an enabled/disabled VMMQ without restarting the driver, the RSS counters will keep increasing in performance. The correct description can be found in Mellanox WinOF-2 Diagnostics Counters section in the User Manual. - In RoCE, the maximum MTU of WinOF-2 (4k) is greater than the maximum MTU of WinOF (2k). As a result, when working with MTU greater than 2k, WinOF and WinOF-2 cannot operate together. - SR-IOV is not working on W2012 R2 using Taneeler card with V7XXW driver
Enhancements: - Added to the Communication Manager the ability to check if incoming connections are not already from a connected QP, source. - Added firmware trace (itrace) to other debug information dumped and logged in the Event Log file to enable easier analysis of issues. - Reduced the driver and the firmware load and unload time. - Added the following files to the DMN directory: - 2 mst files - Registry files - Now the mstdump file directory is in the same as the DMN directory. - Added the option to print the driver current configuration into the DMN logs. - Added the option to log TPT errors instances to the ETL file. - Added the option to log errors occurring in the memory address translation and protection mechanism to the event trace log file - Added to the Event Trace for Windows (ETW) trace the information below about NB and NBL in case of a CQE error: - NBL and NB pointers - QueueID (vPortID) - DMA address - Packet header - For a complete list, please review the Release.txt file.
