Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
The BlueField-2 and BlueField-3 silicon designs include a
provision for reporting pause frame counters, but the driver
(mlxbf_gige) does not have software support yet.
[Fix]
The fix is to update the mlxbf_gige driver to support the
"get_pause_stats()" callback, which enables display of
pause frame counters via "ethtool -I -a ooob_net0".
The support of this callback was added to Linux kernel 5.9.0
[Test Case]
* Reboot BF platform, and configure oob_net0 interface
* Issue command "ethtool -I -a oob_net0" to display pause frame counters
* Send in multiple streams of traffic to oob_net0 interface, e.g. from
two or three simultaneous SCP operations
* Re-issue "ethtool -I -a oob_net0" and note difference in output
[Regression Potential]
The changed logic extends the ethtool support, so low risk for any problem.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-bluefield /5.15.0- 1039.41 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification- needed- jammy-linux- bluefield' to 'verification- done-jammy- linux-bluefield '. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification- needed- jammy-linux- bluefield' to 'verification- failed- jammy-linux- bluefield' .
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Testing/ EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
