Description: TCP single-stream bandwidth degradation has been observed on BlueField-3 DPUs. This affects SF netdevs across various configurations, including IPv4/IPv6, MTU 1500/9000, and both single-port and dual-port setups. To fix the issue, the Arm CPU frequency reading feature is removed from this release temporarily.

4460207

Description: Enabling the kernel configurations CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_EVENT or CONFIG_IPMI_PANIC_STRING causes the system to hang during a kernel panic while the ipmi_msghandler attempts to log the event to the BMC. This hang prevents kdump execution and blocks automatic system recovery via watchdog.

Discovered in version: 4.9.3
