Feature/Change |
Description |
|
32.39.2048 |
|
|
NC-SI Channels |
Added support for two passthrough channels on dual-port adapter cards. |
|
Expansion ROM |
Added a caching mechanism to improved expansion ROM performance and to avoid any slow boot occurrences when loading the expansion ROM driver. |
|
Live Migration Support for Image Size above 4GB |
Added support for image size above 4GB when performing a live migration by splitting the image to chunks. |
|
Crypto Algorithms |
Extended the role-based authentication to cover all crypto algorithms. Now the TLS. IPsec. MACsec. GCM, mem2mem, and NISP work when nv_crypto_conf.crypto_policy = CRYPTO_POLICY_FIPS_LEVEL_2, meaning all cryptographic engines can also work in wrapped mode and not only in plaintext mode. |
|
DSCP (priority) of ACK Packets |
Added the ability to configure the DSCP (priority) of ACK packets using the ROCE_ACCL access register. |
|
Performance Improvements |
Added support for large MTU for force loopback QPs to improve performance (using the aes_xts_tweak_inc_64 parameter). This capability is enabled by mlxconfig LARGE_MTU_TWEAK_64 parameter. |
|
DDR Poison: DDR Uncorrectable Error |
When there is DDR poison (uncorrectable ECC error), firmware reports the health syndrome ICM_FETCH_PCI_DATA_POISONED_ERR (0x14), and triggers the FLR on the the function causing this error. Due to this error, the DDR data is mostly corrupted therefore, the firmware blocks other operations on this function. |
|
Live Firmware Patch |
Added support for Live Firmware Patch. |
|
Reserved mkey |
Added new support for reserved mkey index range. When enabled, a range of mkey indexes is reserved for mkey by name use. |
|
Admin Queue |
Added support for admin queue in virtio device object. |
|
Enhanced NIC Mode: GGA Modules |
Enabled GGA modules for all working modes (except for RXP) when using Enhanced NIC Mode. |
|

|
Feature/Change |
Description |
|
24.38.1002 |
|
|
INT Packets |
Added support for forwarding INT packets to the user application for monitoring purposes by matching the BTH acknowledge request bit (bth_a). |
|

|
Feature/Change |
Description |
|
24.37.1300 |
|
|
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) |
Added support for Precision Time Protocol (PTP), the protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network as part of 5T Technology. |
|
Mergeable Buffer |
Added mergeable buffer support (VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF in virtio spec) for VDPA kernel mode to improve performance in case of large MTU such as 9K. The feature is disabled by default and must be manually enabled while creating or modifying the virtio device. Note: For best performance, it is NOT recommended to enable the feature if the VDPA MTU is set to the default value (1500). |
|
Monitoring Cloud Guest RoCE Statistics on Cloud Provider |
This new capability enables the VM to track and limit its Vport's activity. This is done using the new q_counters counter which enables aggregation of other Vport's from PF GVMI. |
|
NVME Device Emulation |
Enables the firmware to generate a Device Change Event upon any change in the NVME Device Emulation object (BAR change, HotPlug power state change, NVME Function reset, etc). |
|
PCC Algorithms |
Enables a smooth and statically switch between PCC algorithms. In addition, the user can now switch between PCC algorithms while running traffic. |
|
Hardware Steering: Bulk Allocation |
Added support for 32 actions in the header modify pattern using bulk allocation. |
