RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Manish Chopra (Marvell) 2019-04-11 13:42:55 UTC 
Hi,

We need FW files from below linux-firmware.git commit to be included in RHEL7.7 kernel. 

commit 8fcf0ec44c11f1865f8451c0265e84bf16365312
Author: Rahul Verma <Rahul.Verma>
Date:   Fri Feb 8 00:57:04 2019 -0800

    bnx2x: Add FW 7.13.11.0.

    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.

@kexin can you assign and provide ack/nack for this bug ? Thank you !
Comment 5 Manish Chopra (Marvell) 2019-05-11 19:06:22 UTC 
Hi Bruno,

Any update here ? We will need this FW to be included in rhel7.7 for working with upgraded DPDK drivers/releases

Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,

this request was already solved actually, I'm going to update it accordingly.
We're just waiting some BZ flags handling to move forward.
But it'll be available in 7.7 release.
Comment 11 Tianhao 2019-06-26 02:07:52 UTC 
Hi Manish,

The linux-firmware package is the right version but the firmware version of bnx2x NIC is not 7.13.11.0 in 'ethtool -i'.

Can you provide some info of it? Thanks in advance.

That's correct. Firmware used by the inbox bnx2x driver is supposed to be 7.13.1.0 but for future DPDK upgraded releases we might need the newer FW files (v7.13.11.0)
That's why this BZ was opened for inclusion of latest bnx2x FW files too but that FW won't be utilized by bnx2x driver.

BZ #1643556 is actually opened for the FW inclusion for bnx2x driver. Which is fw version 7.13.1.0

Bruno,

Just to confirm this FW (7.13.11.0) is part of rhel7.7 ?

Thanks,
Manish
