    • 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.

    • 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 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 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.

    • The second mkey index returned even if it was not set in the creation of the virtio q when querying virtio q object.
    • Traffic loss occurred after performing Live Migration with virtio vq "frozen-ready" feature.

    Note: When the traffic load is high, and the vq frozen-ready cap is on, traffic loss might still be experienced after modifying the vq from suspend to ready mode.
