Changes and New Features
To generate PLDM packages for firmware updates, users must install and use the MFT version that corresponds with the respective firmware release.
Feature/Change | Description |
22.47.1026 | |
Parallel Suspends of VFs | Added support for parallel suspend operations across multiple VFs. |
ADP-RETX Timeout Profile | Firmware now allows the ADP-RETX timeout profile to be configured even when there are open QPs. |
Passing Metadata Registers between the NIC Layer and the E-Switch (esw) Layer | This enhancement enables seamless metadata propagation across layers, allowing flow steering rules and packet processing logic to share contextual information such as flow identifiers, source context, or policy tags. It improves coordination between NIC and E-Switch pipelines, enabling more flexible traffic handling and advanced offload capabilities. |
Enable/Disable ECN in Upstream | Added the ability to enable or disable ECN in the upstream by allowing the MODIFY_CONG_STATUS and QUERY_CONG_STATUS commands in mlx5_fwctl. |
Bug Fixes | See Bug Fixes in this Firmware Version section. |
SR-IOV - Virtual Functions (VF) per Port - The maximum Virtual Functions (VF) per port is 127. For further information, see Known Issues.
It is recommended to enable the "above 4G decoding" BIOS setting for features that require a large amount of PCIe resources (e.g., SR-IOV with numerous VFs, PCIe Emulated Switch, Large BAR Requests).
