# 297797 11-Apr-2016 np

cxgbe(4): Provide an explicit value for nqpcq in the firmware
configuration file.


# 296952 16-Mar-2016 np

cxgbe(4): Enable PFs 0-3, and allow creation of SR-IOV VFs on these PFs
in the default configuration files.


# 296951 16-Mar-2016 np

cxgbe(4): Enable additional capabilities in the default configuration
files. All features with FreeBSD drivers of some kind are now in the
default configuration.


# 296950 16-Mar-2016 np

cxgbe(4): Update some register settings in the default configuration
files to match the "uwire" configuration.


# 296249 01-Mar-2016 np

cxgbe(4): Update T5 and T4 firmwares to 1.15.28.0.

These firmwares were obtained from the beta "Chelsio T5/T4 Unified Wire
v2.12.0.2 for Linux" release. Changes since last release are listed in the
"Release Notes" accompanying the beta release and are copy-pasted here as well.

The plan is to have only GA'd firmwares in any -STABLE FreeBSD branch so I'll
MFC this (after 2 months) only if it ends up in a GA release.

22.1. T5 Firmware
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Version : 1.15.28.0

FIXES
-----

BASE:
- Fixed an issue in FW_RSS_VI_CONFIG_CMD handling where the default ingress
queue was ignored.
- Fixed an issue where adapter failed to load fw by adjusting DRAM frequency.
- Fixed an issue in watchdog which was causing VM bring-up failure after
reboot.
- Fixed 40G link failures with some switches when auto-negotiation enabled.
- Fixed to improve on link bring-up time.
- Per port buffer groups size doubled to improve performance.
- Fixed an issue where bogus d3hot bits were set causing traffic stall.
- Fixed an issue where sometimes adapter was not seen after reboot.
- Fixed an issue where iWARP was crashing in conjunction with traffic
management.
- Fixed an issue where link failed to come up after removing twinax cable and
inserting optical module.

OFLD
- Fixed a potential iSCSI data corruption issue by disabling RxFragEn flag.

FOiSCSI
- Fixed an issue in recovery path where connection was getting closed before
recovery processing was done.
- Fixed an issue in TCP port reuse.
- Fixed an issue in recovery path when large number (>64) of iSCSI connections
were in use.
- Returned ENETUNREACH if IP was not been provisioned yet and driver tried to
use given inerface.

ENHANCEMENTS
------------

BASE:
- Added new interface to program DCA settings in SGE contexts; allow 32-byte
IQE size
- Added PTP interface fw_ptp_ts to support PTP Frequeny and Offset adjustment.
- Added MPS raw interface.

ETH:
- New mailbox command FW_DCB_IEEE_CMD api added for IEEE dcbx.

OFLD:
- WR opcode is returned to host in cqe error response.

# 290633 10-Nov-2015 np

cxgbe/t4_tom: add a knob to the default configuration file to tune
the TOE for LAN operation. It is possible to set this to other values
(cluster for networks with little loss and really tight RTTs, and wan
for relatively large RTTs and/or lossy networks) depending on the
environment in which the TOE is being used.

None of this affects plain NIC operation in any way.

MFC after: 1 week


# 274351 10-Nov-2014 np

cxgbe(4): adjust PMRX and PMTX parameters.

MFC after: 1 week


# 273615 25-Oct-2014 np

cxgbe(4): bump up PF4's share of some global resources.

This increases the size of the per-port RSS slice and also allows the
driver to use a larger number of tx and rx queues.

MFC after: 2 weeks


# 256459 14-Oct-2013 np

cxgbe(4): Update T4 and T5 firmwares to 1.9.12.0


# 253407 17-Jul-2013 np

Specify a timeout for the PL block.

MFC after: 3 days


# 252661 04-Jul-2013 np
