bnx2: drop unsupported firmwares

2022-07-05T16:33:42Z

The stable kernels from 4.9 to current only support a number of sub versions of the 7.13.x.y firmware versions, in the unlikely scenario of a user needing an older rev they can be easily ontained via old releases. The 4.x stable kernels depend on the 7.13.1 (as does the el7 kernel), 5.4 depends on 7.13.11, and the 5.10 and later kernels all depend on 7.13.15/7.13.21. Let's cleanup the quite sizable unused versions. Signed-off-by: Peter Robinson Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.21.0

2021-12-16T14:36:51Z

This patch removes the older firmware version (7.13.20.0) files pushed earlier as kernel driver patches which were supposed to utilize that firmware were not approved by the community because of the driver or firmware not being backward compatible with older firmware version, so there is no any real consumer of firmware v7.13.20.0 files. New firmware v7.13.21.0 along with below fixes/enhancements (which were also part of 7.13.20.0) maintains backward compatibility as well, so that driver can be worked with both the new firmware and an older firmware. - Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF start - BRB parity error detection support for the driver - Fix the FCOE underrun flow - Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver Link: https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg508497.html Signed-off-by: Manish Chopra Signed-off-by: Prabhakar Kushwaha Signed-off-by: Alok Prasad Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.20.0

2021-10-25T11:19:32Z

This patch adds new FW files to be utilized by bnx2x driver, This new firmware adds following fixes/enhancements: - Support direct invalidation of FP HSI Ver per function ID, required for invalidating FP HSI Ver prior to each VF start, as there is no VF start - BRB parity error detection support for the driver - Fix the FCOE underrun flow - Fix PSOD during FCoE BFS over the NIC ports after preboot driver Signed-off-by: Manish Chopra Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior Signed-off-by: Omkar Kulkarni Signed-off-by: Shai Malin Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.15.0.

2019-10-23T12:30:48Z

This patch adds new FW for bnx2x, which addresses the following issues: - TCP packet with padding can open TPA aggregation in GRO mode. - Tx Silent Drops could cause HW error when statistics is not enabled for client. - Transmission of tunneled packets over tx-only clients (with cos>0 in this case) followed by load/unload with DCB update (for instance), resulted in a Tx path halt. - FORWARD_SETUP ramrod yielded a FW assert (x_eth_fp_hsi_ver_invalid). The FW also adds support for direct update of RSS indirection table entry. Signed-off-by: Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru Signed-off-by: Ameen Rahman Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.11.0.

2019-02-12T12:34:43Z

This patch adds new FW for bnx2x, which adds the following: - TX VLAN filtering support. - Enable TPA only for packets without VLAN. It also addresses few critical issues, - Fairness algorithm misbehaviour when minimum bandwidth configured for all PFs. - Error recovery issue on TAPE devices. - FW not discarding FIP frames that are not designated to PF. - Kernel driver initialization failure after preboot driver. - VxLAN stops working after sending inner IP fragmented traffic. - Issues in the following FW flows: SD VLAN update, TX packet drop, packet padding flow, vlan add/remove.

bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.1.0.

2015-11-20T16:35:21Z

This adds new FW for bnx2x, which adds the following: - Ability to change outer vlan ID for some multi-function modes. - FW ability for Geneve RSS classification according to inner headers. - Prevent VFs from sending MAC control frames. Signed-off-by: Yuval Mintz Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin

bnx2x: Update to FW version 7.12.30

2015-07-16T15:19:30Z

The new FW will allow us to utilize some new features in our driver, mainly adding vlan stripping offload and vxlan offload support. In addition, this fixes several issues: - Packets from a VF with pvid configured which were sent with a different vlan were transmitted instead of being discarded. - FCoE traffic might not recover after a failue while there's traffic to another function.

bnx2x: Add FW 7.10.51

2014-08-07T20:08:19Z

Hi, This firmware includes many fixes such as: - (L2) In some multi-function configurations, inter-PF and inter-VF Tx switching is incorrectly enabled. - (L2) Wrong assert code in FLR final cleanup in case it is sent not after FLR. - (L2) Chip may stall in very rare cases under heavy traffic with FW GRO enabled. - (L2) VF malicious notification error fixes. - (L2) Default gre tunnel to IPGRE which allows proper RSS for IPGRE packets, L2GRE traffic will reach single queue. - (FCoE) Fix data being placed in wrong buffer when corrupt FCoE frame is received. - (FCoE) Burst of FIP packets with destination MAC of ALL-FCF_MACs causes FCoE traffic to stop.

bnx2x: Update to FW 7.8.19

2014-02-09T13:15:40Z

This new firmware fixes several bugs: 1. HW attention appears and traffic stops when iSCSI firmware tries to retransmit iSCSI login command when the iSCSI login is carrying data not aligned to 4-bytes. 2. FCoE traffic fails to run when running in switch-independent multi-function mode and there's more than one interface supporting FCoE on a given port. 3. While two ports are running FCoE with at least one of them has a function number (>1) on the same engine in a 4-port device a zeroed CQE is given, causing FCoE traffic to stop.

bnx2x: update fw to 7.8.17

2013-03-09T16:16:54Z

This new firmware includes the following changes: 1. Several corner case bugs in iSCSI code. 2. Fixes for FCoE including support for 3PAR targets. 3. Fixes for SR-IOV behaviour including: a. Remove FW assert erroneously triggered during FLR. b. Several fixes in FLR flow. c. Prevent VF crash when packet bigger than MTU arrives. d. Improve security against malicious VF. 4. Added CSUM and TSO support for encapsulation protocols. 5. Added RSS capability for GRE traffic based on inner headers. 6. Added FCoE support for 4-port 57840 devices.
