Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
There are currently four upstream commits for Nvidia's mlxbf_gige driver
that are present in upstream, but not in the NV-Kernels 24.04 repo. These four
commits provide three fixes and one feature (display of pause frame counters).
[Fix]
Cherry pick the following four commits from upstream linux:
Linux 6.9.0 -> 09ba28e1cd3c David Thompson mlxbf_gige: stop interface during shutdown
Linux 6.8.0 -> f7442a634ac0 David Thompson mlxbf_gige: call request_irq() after NAPI initialized
Linux 6.8.0 -> d6c30c5a168f David Thompson mlxbf_gige: stop PHY during open() error paths
Linux 6.8.0 -> c22341619852 David Thompson mlxbf_gige: add support to display pause frame counters
[Test Cases]
* Exercise reboot testing in a loop, verifying oob_net0 interface comes up
* Enable kdump and verify that any triggered kernel dump does not crash mlxbf_gige driver
* Exercise the new feature by running "ethtool -I -a oob_net0" before and
after heavy traffic is sent into the oob_net0 interface.
This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-nvidia/ 6.8.0-1009. 9 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- noble-linux- nvidia' to 'verification- done-noble- linux-nvidia' . If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification- needed- noble-linux- nvidia' to 'verification- failed- noble-linux- nvidia' .
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!
