Keywords: Race condition

Discovered in Version: 16.30.1004

Fixed in Release: 16.34.1002

3059082

Description: When all traffic applications sharing the same combination of <function, priority, side> are rate limited (for example by congestion control), this limit is enforced on other applications with different combinations of <function, priority, side> under the same VL. For example, requestor flows (RDMA-write) are limited to rate X, however, this rate is also enforced on a QP sending RDMA-read responses.

This firmware version prevents rate limit enforcement on traffic applications which should not be limited.

Keywords: Rate limit enforcement

Discovered in Version: 16.32.1010

Discovered in Version: 16.30.1004

Fixed in Release: 16.31.1014

2621704

Description: Fixed the resource number size (a 64 bit number) to avoid a scenario where it overwrote it with a 32 bit number and erased the high bits when de-allocating the resource number.

In this scenario, when two resource numbers had identical low 32 bits, and because the high bits were cleared, it resulted in the same idx. Consequently, when two idxes were identical, then it freed the same idx twice.

Keywords: Resource number size, free_4k page
