- Why I did it
To include latest SDK fixes:
1. On CMIS modules, after low power configuration, the firmware waited for the module state to be ModuleReady instead of ModuleLowPower causing delays.
2. When connecting SN4600C, 100GbE port with CWDM4 module (Gen 3.0), link up time is 30 seconds.
and to include SAI fixes \ changes:
1. Reduce verbosity for resource check vendor data not found
2. Fix metadata validation, check default value on conditions check
3. Add 100MB, 10MB to 2201 system
4. L3 VXLAN overlay ECMP
5. VXLAN srcport API implementation
6. Fix scheduler profile null (default values) when set on sub group scheduler group
7. Fix ACL binding restoration when port leaves a LAG
8. Fix route logic for set next hop/action and reference counter for ECMP overlay
- How I did it
1. Updated SDK/FW submodule and relevant makefiles with the required versions.
2. Update SAI submodule and relevant makefile with the required version.
- How to verify it
Build an image and run tests from "sonic-mgmt".
- Why I did it
To include latest fixes.
SAI
1. Reclaim buffers for port which is admin down
2. Support for Spectrum-4 os Nvidia ASIC simulation
3. Support for SN2201
4. Fix host interface table entry, one channel per trap (fix sflow double registration)
5. 2 new queue counters - ecn marked packets + shared current occupancy
6. Fix storm policer unknown unicast
7. Add key/value for accuflow counters
8. Add MAC move
9. Add mirror congestion mode attribute
SDK
1. Under various circumstances, Ethernet ports falsely showed that InfiniBand cables were connected.
2. In SN4600C, at times, the link up time in both DAC and optics cables may, in the worst case, take up to 15 seconds.
3. Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times
4. When ECMP has high amount of next-hops based on VLAN interfaces, in some rare cases, packets will get a wrong VLAN tag and will be dropped.
5. When connecting Spectrum devices with optical transceivers that support RXLOS, remote side port down might cause the switch firmware to get stuck and cause unexpected switch behavior.
6. Aggregation event is missing for WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty'.
7. Tying the SCL and SDA of the optical modules to 3.3V causes errors.
8. On SN4600, there was a delay of more than 10 seconds from the time a data packet is sent from CPU until it is transmitted through one of the switch ports.
9. While using SN4600C system with Finisar FTLC1157RGPL 100GbE CWDM4 modules, intermittent link flaps across multiple ports may be observed.
10. In Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 systems, link did not work in auto-negotiation when connected to Marvell PHY. KR mechanism has been enhanced to integrate with Marvell PHY.
11. The tunnel counter counts the drop packets now for Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 and consistent with Spectrum behavior and count the ECN dropped packets as well.
12. When connecting SN3800 to Cisco-9000, fast-linkup flow will fail and will rise in the normal flow.
13. Race condition in WJH library: when multiple threads load the LAG shared memory concurrently, the program may crash.
14. Add WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty' as a new drop reason.
15. Fixed a memory leak in sx_api_port_sflow_statistics_get API.
16. During initialization flow, the command interface that is used by the minimal driver and SDK caused the collision in the firmware since the same buffer is used in the firmware for the two interfaces.
17. Fix route issue on Kernel 5.10

Update SDK\FW version to 4.4.3326\2008.3326. This version contains:
New Features:
1. Add support for Fast Boot for SN3800
Bug Fixing:
1. In some cases, when the total number of allocations exceeds the resource limit, an error can occur due to incorrect resource release procedure. This issue is most likely to affect the following resources: flow counters, ACL actions, PBS, WJH filter, Tunnels, ECMP containers, MC (L2 &L3)
2. On Spectrum systems, when using Async Router API with IPV6, an error message in the log regarding failing to remove ECMP container may show up. This error is not functional and can be safely ignored.
3. On Spectrum-2 systems and above, when using warm boot, setting max_bridge_num to a value greater than 1968 will cause an error and potential crash.
4. Some Molex cables do not support speed after reboot

- Add ACL entry actions set VRF, set do no learn, add VLAN ID, add VLAN priority
- Add ACL field has VLAN tag

* For SDK\FW - Upgrade to Version SDK 4.4.3106, FW 2008_3110
Added Features:
- Increased ACL table
- Enhanced PSAMPLE support
- Added support for Finisar SR4 module in SN3700 systems
- Added support for Python 3.0 in examples.
Fix bugs:
- On LR4 transceivers 00YD278, the firmware incorrectly identified the transceiver
- Reduce memory consumption for virtual LAG
- Fixed PSAMPLE listeners cleanup on SDK drivers unloading.
- On Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 systems, slow reaction time to Rx pause packets may lead to buffer overflow on servers.
- BER may be experienced when using 5m DAC cables between SN4700 and SN2700 in 100GbE speed.
- On very rare occasion, when connecting DR4 PAM4 transceiver to 100GbE DR1 NRZ, low BER may be experienced.
- Unexpected packet drops on the port ingress buffer may be experienced when working in 400GbE mode.
Note: When performing ISSU from an older version, this fix won't be applied. For fix to apply, a non-ISSU reset is required.
- Fix SN3800 specific warm boot scenario: Disable interface, Warm Boot, Enable Interface --> link will remain down.
