Fixes & Enhancements
Feature Summary
===============
- Added a new counter per vPort that counts the number of packets that reached the Ethernet RQ but cannot fit into the WQE due to their large size. Additionally,we added the option to control if such packet will cause CQE with Error or CQE_MOCK.
- Added the option to shutdown the NIC port from the OS using the driver.
- Added support for the cq_overrun counter. The counter represents the number of times CQs enter an error state due to overflow that occur when the device tries to post a CQE into a full CQ buffer.
- Enabled the capability to allow Virtual Functions to send Pause Frames packets.
- PAM4 link performance improvement.
- Added NC-SI support for Get_Partition_Info command.
- ignore_flow_level is now enabled by the TRUST LEVEL access registry.
Fixes:
===============
- Resolved Dell LTSSM test issues.
- Fixed an issue that caused caused the device to go to dead IRISC as one of the firmware semaphores could not be released when a speed change or port state change was triggered.
- On very rare occasions, a raw BER of 10e-12 might be experienced.
- ConnectX-6 Lx does not support phyless reset.
