Issue

2796324

Description: Fixed an issue that resulted in firmware getting stuck and causing unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RXLOS, and the remote side port was down.

Keywords: cables, RXLOS

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2748800

Keywords: RX_LOS polarity

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2843888

Description: Fixed a rare case where the the system got stuck when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.

Keywords: Cables

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2678394

Description: Limited the external loopback speed to the used module's capabilities.

Keywords: Cables

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2771990

Description: Improved linkup time when using the fast linkup capability.

Keywords: Linkup time

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2771407

Description: Disabled VST on dual port adapter cards when one port is configured as ETH and the other as IB as VST is not available when the port is set as ETH.

Keywords: VST

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2823281

Description: Fixed an issue that resulted in wrong RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.

Keywords: RNR timeout

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2826498

Description: Fixed a fatal assert 0x81C5 that occurred when calling get_vport_mad from the MAD APIs.

The firmware was trying to compute the number of vPorts using a global function number. To avoid this issue, we updated the API to remove any assumption on the function number.

Note: This issue is affects only IB devices.

Keywords: MAD APIs

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2798627

Keywords: Cables

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2751853

Description: Fixed an issue that during events stress caused the firmware to reset the Arm host of the vPort without sending an event.

Thus preventing the software from rearming the vPort as it did not receive any event, and the firmware did not send the event because the vPort had no Arm set.

Keywords: Arm, vPort, event notification

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2784304

Keywords: PCIe lane margining

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

2716208

Discovered in Version: 16.31.1014

Fixed in Release: 16.32.1010

Keywords: PRBS

Discovered in Version: 16.30.1004

Fixed in Release: 16.31.1014

Keywords: Max GVMI, sub-functions

Discovered in Version: 16.30.1004

Fixed in Release: 16.31.1014

2648336

Description: Disabled the CNP counter “rp_cnp_ignored " (triggered by OOS (out-of-sequence)) when all ports are IB.

Note: For mixed IB/ETH scenario, the behavior depends on the RoCE configuration, the counter on the IB port may still increase but will not affect the regular use.

Keywords: CNP counter, IB

Discovered in Version: 16.30.1004

Fixed in Release: 16.31.1014

2667272

Description: Fixed the TMP421 sensor temperature reporting.

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

Discovered in Version: 16.30.1004

Fixed in Release: 16.31.1014

Discovered in Version: 16.29.1016

Fixed in Release: 16.30.1004
