• Added support for Live Migration. Live migration refers to the process of moving a guest virtual machine (VM) running on one physical host to another host without disrupting normal operations or causing any downtime or other adverse effects for the end user.
• Added support for multicast control path packet snooping (IGMP/MLD) and offload of MDB notifications in order to replicate multicast traffic to multiple destinations in the hardware.
• Increased the netdev maximum channels from 128 to 256 for systems with a high number of cores.
• Enhanced performance by removing the internal Rx path from the internal page cache, thus allowing the driver to always use the kernel's page_pool.
• Enhanced performance by adding the following modifications in XDP:
  • Added XDP multi-buffer support to the default RQ type (Striding RQ)
  • Added support for XDP multi-buffer redirect-in
  • Allowed non-linear single-segment frames in XDP TX MPWQE
• Increased the maximum outstanding DC atomic reads to 32 to enable the driver to handle reads larger than 8K. Now log_max_ra_{res/req}_dc is exposed in DV API, enabling the user to see both RC and DC values.
• Added support for Linux kernel DPLL subsystem as a mechanism for working with clock signals in NVIDIA's proprietary synchronous ethernet protocol daemon. This new mechanism enables the use of both VFs and SFs, and is supported starting from korg6.8.
• Limited the number of MADs received on the wire that are queued in the kernel as they are waiting for the user-space application to 200k per umad file. By that, preventing malicious or faulty behavior of flooding a node with MADs and exhausting its memory.
• Added the option to expose offloaded FDB state (flags, counters, etc.) via debugfs for debugging purposes.

New features and changes included in version 22.41.1000:

• The new unified_fdb subdomain simplifies the FDB model by eliminating the need to duplicate rules for RX and TX tables. This domain is directionless, meaning no RX/TX specific actions are allowed. Firmware now handles packet transitions IN and OUT of the unified domain, allowing for a more streamlined packet flow management. Software can now transition between unified_fdb and FDB_RX/FDB_TX domains as long as the packet maintains the same direction, without the risk of dropping the packet when crossing between RX and TX.
• Implemented Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) algorithm on top of firmware TRNG (the source for raw data input) in accordance with NIST SP800-90A.
• Added support for vDPA virtual queue state change from suspend to ready, and discrete mkey for descriptor. vDPA Live Migration uses these two new capabilities to reduce downtime since vq can go back to ready state for traffic and descriptor-only-mkey can help reduce mkey mapping time.
• Added the ability to generate up to 2^30 STE objects through the general object creation command.
• Added a new NVConfig option to copy AR bit from the BTH header to the DHCP header.
• Added the option to provide field's offset and length in Steering add_action option.

New features and changes included in version 22.42.1000:

• Prevented HCA_CAP from allowing rogue drivers to create more EQs than the number allowed in the HCA_CAP.max_num_eqs.
• Added a new command interface "Memory slow release" to enable/disable holding memory pages for a defined period of time. Once the timer expires, the firmware will return the pages to the driver.
• Added support for MVTS register via a miscellaneous driver using the access_register PRM command.
• MSI-X on SF can be received now through the PF's MSI-X vector.

New features and changes included in version 22.41.1000:

• The new unified_fdb subdomain simplifies the FDB model by eliminating the need to duplicate rules for RX and TX tables. This domain is directionless, meaning no RX/TX specific actions are allowed. Firmware now handles packet transitions IN and OUT of the unified domain, allowing for a more streamlined packet flow management. Software can now transition between unified_fdb and FDB_RX/FDB_TX domains as long as the packet maintains the same direction, without the risk of dropping the packet when crossing between RX and TX.
• Implemented Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) algorithm on top of firmware TRNG (the source for raw data input) in accordance with NIST SP800-90A.
• Added support for vDPA virtual queue state change from suspend to ready, and discrete mkey for descriptor. vDPA Live Migration uses these two new capabilities to reduce downtime since vq can go back to ready state for traffic and descriptor-only-mkey can help reduce mkey mapping time.
• Added the ability to generate up to 2^30 STE objects through the general object creation command.
• Added a new NVConfig option to copy AR bit from the BTH header to the DHCP header.
• Added the option to provide field's offset and length in Steering add_action option.
• Added support for steering match on packet l4_type through FTG/FTE.
• Extended Flex Parser merge mechanism to support hardware capabilities.
• Enabled the option to disable the native parser when the parse graph node is configured with the same conditions.
• Added support for father/son headers parsing.
• Added support for tunnel_offload in LRO.

New features and changes included in version 26.42.1000:

• Prevented HCA_CAP from allowing rogue drivers to create more EQs than the number allowed in the HCA_CAP.max_num_eqs.
• Removed the logical port rate limiter to prevent the internal loopback traffic from exceeding the physical port network link speed when using the esw scheduling feature.
• Added a new command interface "Memory slow release" to enable/disable holding memory pages for a defined period of time. Once the timer expires, the firmware will return the pages to the driver.
• Added support for MVTS register via a miscellaneous driver using the access_register PRM command.

• Added support for tunnel_offload in LRO.

• Added a new command interface "Memory slow release" to enable/disable holding memory pages for a defined period of time. Once the timer expires, the firmware will return the pages to the driver.
• Added support for configuring PXE boot filters' setting from the HII menu to filter only PXE packets (DHCP, TFTP.ARP,ICMP) during boot on UEFI environment.
• Added support for Precision Timing (PTM). This new capability ensures seamless operations, synchronized data access, faster response times, and optimal AI performance, enhancing cloud offerings' reliability and scalability.
• Improved the PTP accuracy for ports with link speed of 25G or above.
• Added support for MVTS register via a miscellaneous driver using the access_register PRM command.
• Added an LT logger that provides visibility of the LT status, process and parameters sent and received during the flow.MSI-X on SF can be received now through the PF's MSI-X vector.
• Enabled the usage of different TX presets for Link Training (LT), LT timer, and inhibit timer non-SPEC values.
• Added the PPHCR register (responsible of showing histograms) to the GMP mads flow used to query registers via the mlxlink tool.

• Added the TX_SCHEDULER_FWS_REACTIVITY nvconfig flag to solved an mlnx_qos ETS settings issue.
• Improved ZTR_RTTCC algorithm fairness when running with 4K MTU.
• Changed BER monitor default values to alarm on symbol and effective BER.
• Added support for the following prefetch fields on ODP event:

pre_demand_fault_pages, post_demand_fault_pages.

• Implemented Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) algorithm on top of firmware TRNG (the source for raw data input) in accordance with NIST SP800-90A.
• Added support for PSP in Hardware Steering.
• Added a new NVConfig option to copy AR bit from the BTH header to the DHCP header.
• Added the option to provide field's offset and length in Steering add_action option.
• Added support for steering match on packet l4_type through FTG/FTE.
• Added support for setting, adding or copying the flow_label fields from the packet.
• Added support for 64KB pages.

Note: Configuring BAR_PAGE_ALIGNMENT to ALIGN_64KB(2) while one of the following is configured will cause the device to ignore the BAR_PAGE_ALIGNMENT configuration:

• PF_NUM_PF_MSIX>256 on any of the Physical Functions
• VIRTIO_EMULATION_HOTPLUG_TRANS/

VIRTIO_NET_EMULATION_PF_PCI_LAYOUT/
VIRTIO_NET_EMULATION_VF_PCI_LAYOUT/
VIRTIO_BLK_EMULATION_PF_PCI_LAYOUT/
VIRTIO_BLK_EMULATION_PF_PCI_LAYOUT=VIRTIO_TRANSITIONAL(1)

• Extended Flex Parser merge mechanism to support hardware capabilities.
• Enabled the option to disable the native parser when the parse graph node is configured with the same conditions.
• Added support for father/son headers parsing.
• Added support for tunnel_offload in LRO.
