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 Daniel Juarez 2022-04-29 15:28:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

We have noticed a regression when comparing the ethtool output of the following command between RHEL8.5 and CentOS Stream 8 (4.18.0-365.el8.x86_64),

On nodes equipped with Mellanox ConnectX-4 NICs (using mlx5_core module), the EEPROM displaying feature of ethtool was working fine with RHEL8.5. On the other hand it stopped reporting the DDM/DOM data of the optical module when running CentOS8 Stream (with 4.18.0-365.el8.x86_64)

Please see the following differences between RH8.5 and CS8, as output of ethtool -m" on CS8 is not reporting all data.

Additional info:

Could it be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2024683 and the referenced private bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2019090 ? It seems like a good starting point.

For the record, downgrading the ethtool RPM to the previous version it works fine on CentOS Stream 8, so I'd say it is probably self contained on the tool itself and not related to the kernel differences.

Package with proposed fixes

Daniel, could you please verify this ethtool package that it fixes the issue?
Comment 2 Daniel Juarez 2022-06-09 07:55:58 UTC 
Sorry for the late response, I am waiting for internal feedback for this new package.
Comment 3 Daniel Juarez 2022-06-14 14:58:08 UTC 
All working as expected with the new provided version, thank you very much.
