author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 0105
changelog:
  -     *The following fixes were incorporated in this version:**
      
        * SAS drive LED behavior was corrected to align with the Smart Array specification, specifically: 
          * The Activity LED of a sanitize erase drive now turns ON when connected.
      
          * The Array present LED now turns ON for the SAS drive.
      
          * The Activity LED now blinks on all drives during a SAS drive rebuild.
      
        * The Serial Output Buffer (SOB) has a fixed sized for stored entries. Now, when the buffer is full, the oldest entries are cleared or committed to persistent storage (if available). For this reason, subsequent requests to read the SOB only retrieves new entries that have been logged since the last successful request to read the SOB.
      
        * The drive activity LED has been changed to a function as described in the installation and maintenance guide.
      
        * The reboot flag was changed to issue a hard reset, which enables the service delivery subsystem (ZPSDS) information be shared across (expanded across) the internal expanders to all devices attached.
      
        * The drive activity LED on the SAS disk drives was changed to support the ACTIVE_LOW signal state. The ACTIVE_LOW signal state is the default operation state for most drives.
      
        * The SCSI WRITE BUFFER MODE was changed from activate to soft reset. This change improves the host ability to detect and report whether the enclosure is going to perform a disruptive or non-disruptive activation after a firmware upgrade.
      
        * With I/O module firmware v0105 and PQI firmware 2.02 , the slot power cycle issue has been resolved by changing the power cycle SES request to return a failure when a partner slot is not connected.

      firmware.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 0107
changelog:
  -     *The following fixes were incorporated in this version:**
      
        * In STD INQUIRY RESPONSE, the ErrM bit was always being set. The ErrM bit indicates that the enclosure firmware detects a mismatch in any of its package versions and the firmware version of a FRU component. The issue was due to an incorrect version of PSU firmware being included and that has been fixed.
      
        * After installing the latest firmware on the enclosure I/O modules, the SES targets could not be discovered on the host. The virtual phy bit in SMP DISCOVER RESPONSE, which is used by the Microchip smartpqi HBA, was det for the virtual phy of the I/O module.

changelog:

  -     *Fixed the following:**
      
      In extremely rare cases, the following QLogic Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus
      Adapters (HBAs), SN1100Q, SN1600Q and SN1610Q may cause the host Operating
      System (OS) to stop. Subsequent OS reboot may reveal some filesystem data is
      unavailable or inconsistent. Out of an abundance of caution, HPE updated the
      Firmware/BIOS/UEFI (Boot Image) packages for these adapters to eliminate
      possible exposure to this extremely rare but critical issue.
      
      For more details please go through the document titled "HPE ProLiant, Synergy
      and Superdome Flex Host Bus Adapters (HBA) - Certain Fibre Channel HBA
      Firmware May Cause the Operating System to Halt and Potentially Compromise

        * When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) will take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME is disabled.
        * An issue that resulted in low performance after enabling the RoCE Accelerator capability. Note: The fix is available when all ports are set as Ethernet. 
        * On rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported during FLR.
        * The chassis manager calculation for Multi-Host and Socket-Direct adapter cards to allow running NC-SI commands by the chassis manager BMC. Now the chassis manager is count as BMC with index 0, regardless of how many BMC there are.
        * An issue that caused the device to go to down IRISC as one of the firmware semaphores could not be released when a speed change or port state change was triggered. 
      
      **Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 12.28.1002:**
      
        * An issue that caused the DCR to be destroyed before the retry option managed to work when the retry timeout is too big. In this case the DCR' time-to-live was increased, and the maximum retry timeout was decreased.
        * Increased PHY power consumption limit to 1.5w.
        * An issue that caused PortCounters.PortRcvErr / PPCNT.infiniband_counters.PortRcvErr not to report port icrc errors.

        * Added a new NvConfig parameter LOG_MAX_QUEUE to set the maximum number of work queue resources (QP, RQ, SQ...) that can be created per function. The default value is 2^17.
        * Added a Congestion Control Key to all Congestion Control MADs to authenticate that they are originated from a trusted source.
        * Added an SMP firewall to block the option of sending SMPs (MADS sent on QP0 from the Subnet Manager) from unauthorized hosts to prevent fake SMPs from being recognized as the SM.
        * Vendor Specific MADs Class 0x9 is no longer supported by the firmware. In case the firmware detects such MAD, the firmware will return a "NOT SUPPORTED" error to the user.
        * Blocked the VF's ability to use both padding and signature in order to prevent the NIC from getting into an unresponsive state.
        * Enabled Rate Limit per VM instead of VM-TC. This capability is implemented by adding support to a new Scheduling element type: rate limit elements that will connect to the rate_limit and will share its rate limit.
        * Performance improvements in the DCT with AR flow by exposing a hint to the software in DCI software context that indicates that RDMA WRITE on this DCI is not supported.
        * Added support for dynamic timeout mechanism when in InfiniBand mode.
        * Added support for QSHR access register to enable Set and Query rate limit perhost per-port.
        * The firmware now exposes a new Software Steering ICM resource for VXLAN encap expand in order for the SW Steering to manage this resource directly.
        * Added support for asymmetrical VFs per PF. To enable it: PF_NUM_OF_VF_VALID must be true, and PF_NUM_OF_VF to a none zero value.
        * Added 2 new MAD access registers to enable mlxlink to read/write access registers by LID (to the whole subnet).

        * Fixed n issue that caused PortCounters.PortRcvErr / PPCNT.infiniband_counters.PortRcvErr not to report port icrc errors.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.32.1010**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The link status was reported incorrectly and consequently caused the link to go down due to incorrect definition of the RX_LOS polarity in the INI.
        * The system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Invalid RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * A fatal assert 0x81C5 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, the API was updated to remove any assumption on the function number. Note: This issue is affects only IB devices.
        * 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.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.
        * PCIe lane margining capability issues.
        * An issue related to the sl2vl mad that caused a few msec hiccup in the transmission on an InfiniBand network when the SM sent the sl2vl mad to a node in the cluster.

        * Added pci_rescan_needed field to the MFRL access register to indicate whether a PCI rescan is needed based on the NV configurations issued by the software.  
      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation.
        * Updated the ibstat status reported when the phy link is down. Now QUERY_VPORT_STATE.max_tx_speed of UPLINK will not be reported as 0 anymore.
        * Disabled the option to send SMPs from unauthorized hosts.
        * Enabled the option to modify the ip_ecn field in the packet header in firmware steering.
        * Modified the TX or RX cache invalidation behavior. TX or RX cache invalidation now does not occur automatically but only when the software performs the sync operation using the using sync_steering command.
        * Modified the maximum bulk size per single allocation from "log_table_size - log_num_unisizes", to allocate any range size, to remove limitations that HWS objects such as counters and modify arguments might encounter.
        * Enabled delay drop for hairpin packets. If a hairpin QP is created with delay_drop_en enabled, the feature will be enabled across all GVMIs, based on the delay drop status.

        * PLDM AEN event receiver media was changed unexpectedly and destination BDF was overridden with garbage when some PLDM packet were received from the SMBus layer.
        * Bad configuration of number of VFs and SFs led to the consumption of too many functions and triggered a FW assert 0x888E. The reduction flows behavior was fixed to ensure the configuration does not exceed the total number of supported functions. 
        * InfiniBand L2 QP could not receive RDMA traffic occasionally.
        * Running with a debug firmware reduced security as if token was applied.

  -     *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 20.29.1016:**
      
      HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 200Gb 1-port 940QSFP56 x16 Adapter - P06154-B21  
      HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port 940QSFP56 x16 Adapter - P06250-B21  
      HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port 940QSFP56 x16 Adapter - P06251-B21  
      
      
      **New Features and Changes in Version 20.29.1016:**
      
      Added support for following features:
      
        * LinkX module burning via MFT toolset. The new capability enables direct firmware burning from the internal flash storage to reduce the bandwidth and accelerate the burning process, including burning several modules at a time.
        * An option to allow applications to build their own QoS tree over the NIC hierarchy by connecting QPs to responder/requestor Queue Groups.
        * Improved NRZ link performance (RX algorithm).
        * Improved NRZ link-up time (25G(G@G speeds).
        * Enabled the options to control different Tx sets for the same attribute when connecting a Mellanox-Mellanox vs Mellanox to 3rd party HCA.
        * "InfiniBand" properties set to the Network Device Function Redfish object.
        * Direct Packet Placement (DPP): DPP is a receive side transport service in which the Ethernet packets are scattered to the memory according to a packet sequence number (PSN) carried by the packet, and not by their arrival order.
        * To enable DPP offload, the software should create a special RQ by using the CREATE_RQ command, and set DPP relevant attributes.
        * Added trust level for VFs. Once the VF is trusted, it will get a set of trusted capabilities.
        * UCX can now enable AR by exposing Out-Of-Ordering bitmask per SL with "ooo_per_sl" field in the HCA_VPORT context. It can be also queried by running the QUERY_HCA_VPORT_CONTEXT command.
        * Enhanced IB Congestion Control to support lower minimum rate. Now it uses destination-lid to classify flows to handle larger scale, and achieve better results in GPCNeT benchmark.
        * Hardware steering dump output used for debugging and troubleshooting.

        * An issue that prevented VXLAN packets with svlan/cvlan tag from being matched.
        * The eth_wqe_too_small counter to count ODP (On-Demand Paging) page used to fail.
        * An issue related to raising 100GbE link on ConnectX-6 VPI 100Gb/s adapter cards.
        * When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) will take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME is disabled.
        * Low performance occurred after enabling the RoCE Accelerator capability.
        * On rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported during FLR.

        * When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.
        * Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
        * Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2 QPs.
        * RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB receive queues according to the DLID and  the DQPN.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.31.1014:**
      
        * Occasional performance issues related to RC QPs using E2E-credits (not connected to SRQ and doing send/receive traffic) when the ROCE_ACCL tx_window was enabled.
        * A fatal error occurred and eventually resulted in the HCA to get into an unresponsive state when a packet was larger than a strided receive WQE that was being scattered.
        * A rare issue that caused RX pipe to unresponsive state.
        * The resource number size (a 64 bit number) was overwritten with a 32 bit number and erased the high bits when de-allocating the resource number.
        * CRT_DCR with index larger than 1 << 21 occasionally collided with the CRT_SW_RESERVED address.
        * An issue that caused the TX queue to get into an unresponsive state when the VF rate limiter was set.
        * In InfiniBand non-virtualization system, due to a corrupted steering root, traffic fails after a warm reboot.  
      
                                                                               
      **Additional Fixes included in version 20.31.1014:**
      
        * Disabled the CNP counter "rp_cnp_ignored " (triggered by OOS (out-of-sequence)) when all ports are IB.
        * Fixed the TMP421 sensor temperature reporting.
        * Fixed the rate select mechanism in QSFP modules.
        * Fixed classification issues for "Passive" cables to be more robust.
        * Initialized the rate table in the static configuration so it will be configured at the link-not-up scenarios.            
        * Improved PortXmitWait IB counter accuracy.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8
changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 20.32.1010:**
      
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 200Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-HDAT Adapter - P06154-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-ECAT Adapter - P06250-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-ECAT Adapter - P06251-B21
      
      **New features and changes included in version 20.32.1010:**
      
        * Added support for blocking unwanted GMP classes by dedicated MADs.
        * Added a new NvConfig parameter LOG_MAX_QUEUE to set the maximum number of work queue resources (QP, RQ, SQ...) that can be created per function. The default value is 2^17.
        * Added a Congestion Control Key to all Congestion Control MADs to authenticate that they are originated from a trusted source.
        * Added an SMP firewall to block the option of sending SMPs (MADS sent on QP0 from the Subnet Manager) from unauthorized hosts to prevent fake SMPs from being recognized as the SM.
        * Vendor Specific MADs Class 0x9 is no longer supported by the firmware. If case the firmware detects such MAD, the firmware will return a "NOT SUPPORTED" error to the user.
        * Blocked the VF's ability to use both padding and signature in order to prevent the NIC from getting into an unresponsive state.
        * Enabled Rate Limit per VM instead of VM-TC. This capability is implemented by adding support to a new Scheduling element type: rate limit elements that will connect to the rate_limit and will share its rate limit.
        * Performance improvements in the DCT with AR flow by exposing a hint to the software in DCI software context that indicates that RDMA WRITE on this DCI is not supported.
        * Added support for dynamic timeout mechanism when in InfiniBand mode.
        * Added support for QSHR access register to enable Set and Query rate limit per-host per-port.
        * The firmware now exposes a new Software Steering ICM resource for VXLAN encap expand in order for the SW Steering to manage this resource directly.
        * Added support for asymmetrical VFs per PF. To enable it: PF_NUM_OF_VF_VALID must be true, and PF_NUM_OF_VF to a none zero value.
        * Added 2 new MAD access registers to enable mlxlink to read/write access registers by LID (to the whole subnet).
        * Enabled the exposure of new ICM resource to the software steering for VXLAN encapsulation expansion.
        * Added support for DSFP AOC (CMIS) v4 when error code is not reported by the module.
        * Limited the external loopback speed according to the used module's capabilities.
        * Modified the Effective BER calculation method. Due to this, the value of the Effective BER will be slightly higher, however the link quality remains the same as prior to this change.
        * This firmware version includes the following PCIe changes: 
          * Fixed the ACS Port Number field in DSPs and ACS Egress Control Vector field in DSPs.
          * Added support for VSC on USP of PCIe Switch.
          * Fixed the mapping of Legacy Interrupts in the PCIe Switch.
          * Fixed MRRS & MPS configurations in DSPs.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8
changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.32.1010:**
      
        * System could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * Incorrect indication of the PCIe link down in the AER registers on PCIe switch upstream port.
        * Invalid RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * The flash frequency on boot was lower than expected (under 50Mhz). The issue was fixed by enabling the firmware to increase it on boot2 to normal frequency.
        * A race condition between DC QP flush and DC packets that led to stuck slices in the hardware. To avoid such situation, firmware keeps the TCU drop set until QP flush is done.
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The link status was reported incorrectly and consequently caused the link to go down due to incorrect definition of the RX_LOS polarity in the INI.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.9
changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 20.33.1048:**
      
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 200Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-HDAT Adapter - P06154-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-ECAT Adapter - P06250-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653106A-ECAT Adapter - P06251-B21
      
      **New features and changes included in version 20.33.1048:**
      
        * Added pci_rescan_needed field to the MFRL access register to indicate whether a PCI rescan is needed based on the NV configurations issued by the software.  
      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * Updated the ibstat status reported when the phy link is down. Now QUERY_VPORT_STATE.max_tx_speed of UPLINK will not be reported as 0 anymore.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation. 
        * Disabled the option to send SMPs from unauthorized hosts.
        * Enabled the option to modify the ip_ecn field in the packet header in firmware steering.
        * Modified the TX or RX cache invalidation behavior. TX or RX cache invalidation now does not occur automatically but only when the software performs the sync operation using the using sync_steering command.
        * Modified the maximum bulk size per single allocation from "log_table_size - log_num_unisizes", to allocate any range size, to remove limitations that HWS objects such as counters and modify arguments might encounter. 
        * Crypto features can be in either wrapped or unwrapped mode. Meaning, the key can be wrapped or in plaintext when running the CREATE_DEK PRM command. To comply with the requirements specified in FIPS publication, all the created DEKs must be wrapped.  
      This feature adds new NV_CONFIG per device to control this mode, and enables
      the user to change all the crypto features to wrapped or cleartext.
      
        * Enabled delay drop for hairpin packets. If a hairpin QP is created with delay_drop_en enabled, the feature will be enabled across all GVMIs, based on the delay drop status.

        * An issue that ignored the default value of TX_SCHEDULER_BURST when its value in the ini was different than "0".
        * Implemented SLD detection code. Surprise Down Error Reporting Capable value was changed from 1 to 0 in boards where the downstream perst was not controlled thus causing SLD detection not to function properly.
        * Rare lanes skew issue that caused CPU to timeout in Rec.idle.
        * RDMA_WRITE traffic performance degradation that occured when working with DC on Adaptive Routing network.
        * Bad cache invalidations of destroyed QPs.
        * A rare case where asserts and ext_synd appeared in dmesg after performing driver restart.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.35.1012:**
      
        * RDE (Redfish) PATCH operation to LLDPTransmit properties "ManagementAddressIPv4", "ManagementAddressIPv6" and "ManagementAddressMAC" were applied only in the first attempt, but failed in the next.
        * The RXT E2E inflight went into an unresponsive state occasionally.
        * RDMA partition was reported even if NIC+RDMA mode was disabled.
        * PLDM AEN event receiver media was changed unexpectedly and destination BDF was overridden with garbage when some PLDM packet were received from the SMBus layer.
        * An incorrect address issue for XRQ Event Backend Controller Px Syndrome event in multi-host system during FLR.
        * PCIe SKP OS generation interval issue for Gen1 and Gen2.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8-2.1
changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 2.42.5000:**
      
        * PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
        * The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
        * The server hangs and results in NMI when running "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
        * In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
        * While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
        * The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
        * ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
        * link did not go up after reboot.
        * Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
        * Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.
      
      **Fixes in version 2.42.5044:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 
      
      **Fixes in version 2.42.5052:**
      
        * Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences upon the driver's teardown.

      **New features and changes in version 14.31.1200:**
      
        * NVconfig per Port for a Specific Finisar Module: Added a new NVconfig per Port for a specific Finisar module. This new NVconfig sets the port to work in AN mode and sets the module to No DME. This change does not affect the speed logic, only the FEC logic (FEC override).  
      **Note:** If the port does not go up, switch to Force mode. 
      
      **New features and changes in version 16.31.1014:**
      
        * NIC scheduling feature support has been disabled for non-privileged functions.
        * Implemented a new NC-SI command get_debug_info to get mstdump via the NC-SI protocol to debug a device if the PCI link fails for any given reason.
        * Added support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) via the UEFI HII system settings.  
      **Note:** Values set in this option only take effect when is Ethernet mode.
        * Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
        * Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different number of MSIX  
      vectors per physical PCI functions.  
      To use this feature, please follow these steps:
      
          * Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
          * Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX configuration.
          * Configure PF_NUM_PF_MSIX per physical PCI function.
        * Support for RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
        * A new bit ("data_in_order") was added to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect when the AR is enabled.
        * A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
        * When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.  
      Pages are returned by the driver to the kernel without issuing the
      MANAGE_PAGES commands to the firmare.
      
        * Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
        * Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2 QPs.
        * RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB receive queues according to the DLID and  
      the DQPN.

         874253-B21 (HPE Ethernet 100Gb 1-port 842QSFP28 Adapter)
      
      
      
      **Updated mstflint from version 4.13 to 4.16**
      
        
      **New features and changes in version 14.31.1200:**
      
        * NVconfig per Port for a Specific Finisar Module: Added a new NVconfig per Port for a specific Finisar module. This new NVconfig sets the port to work in AN mode and sets the module to No DME. This change does not affect the speed logic, only the FEC logic (FEC override).  
      **Note:** If the port does not go up, switch to Force mode. 
      
      **New features and changes in version 16.31.1014:**
      
        * NIC scheduling feature support has been disabled for non-privileged functions.
        * Implemented a new NC-SI command get_debug_info to get mstdump via the NC-SI protocol to debug a device if the PCI link fails for any given reason.
        * Added support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) via the UEFI HII system settings.  
      **Note:** Values set in this option only take effect when is Ethernet mode.
        * Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
        * Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different number of MSIX  
      vectors per physical PCI functions.  
      To use this feature, please follow these steps:
      
          * Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
          * Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX configuration.
          * Configure PF_NUM_PF_MSIX per physical PCI function.
        * Support for RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
        * A new bit ("data_in_order") was added to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect when the AR is enabled.
        * A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
        * When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.  
      Pages are returned by the driver to the kernel without issuing the
      MANAGE_PAGES commands to the firmare.
      
        * Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
        * Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2 QPs.
        * RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB receive queues according to the DLID and  
      the DQPN.

        * Blocked the VF's ability to use both padding and signature in order to prevent the NIC from getting into an unresponsive state.
        * Enabled Rate Limit per VM instead of VM-TC. This capability is implemented by adding support to a new Scheduling element type: rate limit elements that will connect to the rate_limit and will share its rate limit.
        * Performance improvements in the DCT with AR flow by exposing a hint to the software in DCI software context that indicates that RDMA WRITE on this DCI is not supported.
        * Added support for QSHR access register to enable Set and Query rate limit perhost per-port.
        * The firmware now exposes a new Software Steering ICM resource for VXLAN encap expand in order for the SW Steering to manage this resource directly.
        * Enabled the exposure of new ICM resource to the software steering for VXLAN encapsulation expansion.
        * Limited the external loopback speed to the used module's capabilities.
        * Improved linkup time when using the fast linkup capability.

  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 2.42.5044 :**
      
        * An issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.

      **New features and changes included in version 12.28.2006:**
      
        * Increased the maximum XRQ number to 512.
      
      **New features and changes included in version 16.32.1010:**
      
        * Added support for blocking unwanted GMP classes by dedicated MADs.
        * Added a new NvConfig parameter LOG_MAX_QUEUE to set the maximum number of work queue resources (QP, RQ, SQ...) that can be created per function. The default value is 2^17.
        * Added a Congestion Control Key to all Congestion Control MADs to authenticate that they are originated from a trusted source.
        * Added an SMP firewall to block the option of sending SMPs (MADS sent on QP0 from the Subnet Manager) from unauthorized hosts to prevent fake SMPs from being recognized as the SM.
        * Vendor Specific MADs Class 0x9 is no longer supported by the firmware. In case the firmware detects such MAD, the firmware will return a "NOT SUPPORTED" error to the user.
        * Blocked the VF's ability to use both padding and signature in order to prevent the NIC from getting into an unresponsive state.
        * Enabled Rate Limit per VM instead of VM-TC. This capability is implemented by adding support to a new Scheduling element type: rate limit elements that will connect to the rate_limit and will share its rate limit.
        * Performance improvements in the DCT with AR flow by exposing a hint to the software in DCI software context that indicates that RDMA WRITE on this DCI is not supported.
        * Added support for dynamic timeout mechanism when in InfiniBand mode.
        * Added support for QSHR access register to enable Set and Query rate limit perhost per-port.
        * The firmware now exposes a new Software Steering ICM resource for VXLAN encap expand in order for the SW Steering to manage this resource directly.
        * Added support for asymmetrical VFs per PF. To enable it: PF_NUM_OF_VF_VALID must be true, and PF_NUM_OF_VF to a none zero value.
        * Added 2 new MAD access registers to enable mlxlink to read/write access registers by LID (to the whole subnet).
        * Enabled the exposure of new ICM resource to the software steering for VXLAN encapsulation expansion.
        * Limited the external loopback speed to the used module's capabilities.
        * Improved linkup time when using the fast linkup capability.
        * 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.
        * Added support for DSFP AOC (CMIS) v4 when error code is not reported by the module.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 12.28.2006:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused the DCR (DC Resources) to be destroyed before the retry option managed to work when the retry timeout is too big. in this case, the DCR' time-to-live was increased, and the maximum retry timeout was decreased.
        * Increased PHY power consumption limit to 1.5w.
        * Fixed an issue that caused PortCounters.PortRcvErr / PPCNT.infiniband_counters.PortRcvErr not to report port icrc errors.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.32.1010**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The link status was reported incorrectly and consequently caused the link to go down due to incorrect definition of the RX_LOS polarity in the INI.
        * The system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Invalid RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * A fatal assert 0x81C5 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, the API was updated to remove any assumption on the function number. Note: This issue is affects only IB devices.
        * 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.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.
        * PCIe lane margining capability issues.
        * An issue related to the sl2vl mad that caused a few msec hiccup in the transmission on an InfiniBand network when the SM sent the sl2vl mad to a node in the cluster.

      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation.
        * Updated the ibstat status reported when the phy link is down. Now QUERY_VPORT_STATE.max_tx_speed of UPLINK will not be reported as 0 anymore.
        * Disabled the option to send SMPs from unauthorized hosts.
        * Enabled the option to modify the ip_ecn field in the packet header in firmware steering.
        * Modified the TX or RX cache invalidation behavior. TX or RX cache invalidation now does not occur automatically but only when the software performs the sync operation using the using sync_steering command.
        * Modified the maximum bulk size per single allocation from "log_table_size - log_num_unisizes", to allocate any range size, to remove limitations that HWS objects such as counters and modify arguments might encounter.
        * Enabled delay drop for hairpin packets. If a hairpin QP is created with delay_drop_en enabled, the feature will be enabled across all GVMIs, based on the delay drop status.

changelog:
  -     *Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 14.29.1016 and 16.29.1016:**
      
        * Changed the default value of DCQCN's NP parameter min_time_between_cnps to 4 on all devices to support larger scalability of cluster.
        * An issue that caused packets to drop due to header size issues and/or failing checks. This issue was caused due to a Linux issue that caused VFs to set the wrong header size value in wqe_inline_header_mode input.
        * When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) might take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME was disabled.
        * In rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported during FLR.
        * An issue that caused the device to go to dead IRISC as one of the firmware semaphores could not be released when a speed change or port state change was triggered.
      
      **Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 16.29.1016:**

  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.

      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation.
        * Updated the ibstat status reported when the phy link is down. Now QUERY_VPORT_STATE.max_tx_speed of UPLINK will not be reported as 0 anymore.
        * Disabled the option to send SMPs from unauthorized hosts.
        * Enabled the option to modify the ip_ecn field in the packet header in firmware steering.
        * Modified the TX or RX cache invalidation behavior. TX or RX cache invalidation now does not occur automatically but only when the software performs the sync operation using the using sync_steering command.
        * Modified the maximum bulk size per single allocation from "log_table_size - log_num_unisizes", to allocate any range size, to remove limitations that HWS objects such as counters and modify arguments might encounter.
        * Enabled delay drop for hairpin packets. If a hairpin QP is created with delay_drop_en enabled, the feature will be enabled across all GVMIs, based on the delay drop status.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Security
      called UEFI Variable Access Firmware Control. This option, when enabled, can
      be used to block UEFI Variable writes, such as to the UEFI Boot Order, from
      the Operating System or a third-party utility. HPE recommends leaving this
      capability disabled unless the user specifically wants to prevent the
      operating system's normal operation of writing to UEFI Variables, which
      typically occur during OS install.

      Addressed an issue where in the OS does not display the true CPU Max Core
      Frequency.
      
      Addressed an issue with AMD EPYC 1st Generation processors that can result in
      Corrected Memory Error Threshold Events being logged to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML) in cases when they should not be logged. The system
      monitors corrected errors and notifies the user when action is required due to
      an increased risk of an Uncorrected Memory Error. Corrected Memory errors are
      a normal and expected occurrence and do not always indicate a higher risk of
      an Uncorrected Memory Error. Previous revisions of the System ROM were
      incorrectly logging Corrected Memory Error Threshold Events to the IML when
      action should not have been required, resulting in unnecessary scheduled
      downtime to replace DIMMs. It is recommended that the System ROM be updated to
      this version before replacing DIMMs due to Corrected Memory Error Threshold
      Events.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Dynamic PCIe Rate
      Change. This option should be enabled for certain PCIe devices that change
      their advertised speed during training. The option is disabled by default, and
      should only be enabled if the system is configured with a device which is
      training at a less than advertised speed.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for MCTP Broadcast
      Support. This option is used to control the PCIe Management Component
      Transport Protocol (MCTP) support for a given slot. This option can be used to
      disable MCTP support to a given PCIe endpoint that may not properly support
      this protocol. It is recommended that this option remain enabled for full
      system functionality.

changelog:
  -     Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022. Windows Server 2022 adds a
      new security feature called Secured-core. Secured-core is only supported on
      Intel Xeon Processors. Secured-core servers use a combination of hardware
      features, firmware enablement and Windows Server operating system capabilities
      to provide protection against malware and rootkit security exploits.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Microsoft Secured-
      core Support. Enabling this setting makes the following policy changes and
      configures the corresponding options: Intel Virtualization Technology
      enabled, Intel VT-d enabled, Intel TXT Support enabled, Secure Boot enabled,
      TPM enabled in 2.0 mode. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is
      enabled can prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      Added in support for legacy UEFI boot.
      
      Added support for Intel Pentium CPUs.
