- Why I did it
The latest upgrade of Mellanox hw-mgmt V7.0020.1300 introduced a couple new kernel modules for new Mellanox platforms that have yet to be upstreamed to the linux kernel.
As these new platforms do not have SONiC support we elected not to upstream these new drivers to sonic-linux-kernel but hw-mgmt expects them to exist which is causing a non-functional error on switch boot.
Feb 15 00:09:55.374130 r-leopard-simx-74 ERR systemd-modules-load[269]: Failed to find module 'emc2305'
Feb 15 00:09:55.374141 r-leopard-simx-74 ERR systemd-modules-load[269]: Failed to find module 'ads1015'
To resolve this we can patch hw-mgmt to no longer attempt to load these modules by default.
- How I did it
Added a SONiC patch to Mellanox hw-mgmt in order to remove the unused kernel modules which were not upstreamed to sonic-linux-kernel
- How to verify it
Boot switch and verify there are no error logs regarding kernel modules failing to load.
- Why I did it
In SONiC thermal control algorithm, it compares thermal zone temperature with thermal zone threshold. Previously, a thermal zone with no thermal sensor can still get its threshold. However, a recently driver patch changes this behavior: a thermal zone with no thermal sensor will return 0 for threshold. We need to ignore such thermal zone.
- How I did it
Ignore thermal zones whose temperature is 0.
- How to verify it
Added unit test case and Manual test

Why I did it
Requirements from Microsoft for fwutil update all state that all firmwares which support this upgrade flow must support upgrade within a single boot cycle. This conflicted with a number of Mellanox upgrade flows which have been revised to safely meet this requirement.
How I did it
Added --no-power-cycle flags to SSD and ONIE firmware scripts
Modified Platform API to call firmware upgrade flows with this new flag during fwutil update all
Added a script to our reboot plugin to handle installing firmwares in the correct order with prior to reboot
How to verify it
Populate platform_components.json with firmware for CPLD / BIOS / ONIE / SSD
Execute fwutil update all fw --boot cold
CPLD will burn / ONIE and BIOS images will stage / SSD will schedule for reboot
Reboot the switch
SSD will install / CPLD will refresh / switch will power cycle into ONIE
ONIE installer will upgrade ONIE and BIOS / switch will reboot back into SONiC
In SONiC run fwutil show status to check that all firmware upgrades were successful
- Why I did it
Optimize thermal control policies to simplify the logic and add more protection code in policies to make sure it works even if kernel algorithm does not work.
- How I did it
Reduce unused thermal policies
Add timely ASIC temperature check in thermal policy to make sure ASIC temperature and fan speed is coordinated
Minimum allowed fan speed now is calculated by max of the expected fan speed among all policies
Move some logic from fan.py to thermal.py to make it more readable
- How to verify it
1. Manual test
2. Regression
Why I did it
Recently additional sensors that were needed only for specific system added to all systems and caused errors.
How I did it
* Include CPU board and switch board sensors only on SN2201 system

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

Why I did it
Support zero buffer profiles
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
Dependency: It depends on Azure/sonic-swss#1910 and submodule advancing PR once the former merged.
How I did it
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
If the buffer model is static:
Apply normal buffer profiles to admin-up ports
Apply zero buffer profiles to admin-down ports
If the buffer model is dynamic:
Apply normal buffer profiles to all ports
buffer manager will take care when a port is shut down
Update buffers_config.j2 to support INACTIVE PORTS by extending the existing macros to generate the various buffer objects, including PGs, queues, ingress/egress profile lists
Originally, all the macros to generate the above buffer objects took active ports only as an argument
Now that buffer items need to be generated on inactive ports as well, an extra argument representing the inactive ports need to be added
To be backward compatible, a new series of macros are introduced to take both active and inactive ports as arguments
The original version (with active ports only) will be checked first. If it is not defined, then the extended version will be called
Only vendors who support zero profiles need to change their buffer templates
Enable buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file:
The JSON file is provided on a per-platform basis
It is copied from platform/<vendor> folder to /usr/share/sonic/temlates folder in compiling time and rendered when the swss container is being created.
To make code clean and reduce redundant code, extract common macros from buffer_defaults_t{0,1}.j2 of all SKUs to two common files:
One in Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8 for single ingress pool mode
The other in ACS-MSN2700 for double ingress pool mode
Those files of all other SKUs will be symbol link to the above files
Update sonic-cfggen test accordingly:
Adjust example output file of JSON template for unit test
Add unit test in for Mellanox's new buffer templates.
How to verify it
Regression test.
Unit test in sonic-cfggen
Run regression test and manually test.

#### Why I did it
Mellanox builds were failing intermittently due to the `issue_version` file and MFT package not building correctly in the Azure pipeline environment (both of these packages were patched to build correctly with bullseye running on the host and buster running on the dockers)
#### How I did it
Fixed two problems:
1. BLDENV is not passed to the Makefiles so the references to this were replaced with correct logic
2. `issue_version` was not defined as a target for bullseye and as such was not cached. Altered the build such that it is defined as a target for bullseye (in the case of buster it builds the file, in the case of bullseye it copies from buster)
The previous PR fixing this was reverted as it is no longer necessary for a passing build and was not a long-term fix. https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/9235
#### How to verify it
Build on AZP and verify success.
The issu-version file for Mellanox is generated from the Mellanox SDK
libraries. The SDK is installed into a Buster docker container, but the
issu-version file goes onto the base OS, which is Bullseye. To work
around this, the issu-version build rules explicitly copies the
issu-version file to target/files/bullseye/ during the Buster build.
Because of our build infra, if caching is enabled and a cache is being
used, then for issu-version, since it is technically built as part of
Buster, then only target/files/buster/issu-version is saved into the
cache, and target/files/bullseye/issu-version isn't cached. If this
cache gets used, then target/files/bullseye/issu-version is missing, and
the final image build fails.
This is to work around the current build issue where Mellanox builds are
failing. This is so that issu-version is always "built", so that copy is
made into the bullseye directory.

Why I did it
Currently the mellanox platform API is validating the file extensions of firmware packages to be installed for basic sanity checking. However, ONIE packages do not have an extension and as such if there is a "." in the name it is taken to be an extension and then fails the sanity check.
How I did it
I removed the check which ensures that ONIE images don't have a file extension.
How to verify it
Name the ONIE updater file 2021.onie and attempt to install it via fwutil install fw 2021.onie --yes

- Why I did it
The methods get_model, get_serial, and get_revision have been implemented by reading relevant information from VPD and then recording the information into relevant fields.
However, there is no VPD data on platforms with fixed PSUs and relevant fields haven't been initialized, which causes the methods to throw exceptions. which in turn prevents psud from inserting fields into PSU table.
Eventually, this causes show platform psustatus doesn't output correct info.
- How I did it
Initialize those fields as N/A on systems with fixed PSUs.

Why I did it
The Mellanox platform is required to support the fwutil auto-update feature defined here
This is to allow switches, when performing SONiC upgrades to choose whether to perform firmware upgrades that may interrupt the data plane through a cold boot.
How I did it
Two methods were added to the component implementations for mellanox.
In the base Component class we add a default function that chooses to skip the installation of any firmware unless the cold boot option is provided. This is because the Mellanox platform, by default, does not support installing firmware on ONIE, the CPLD, or the BIOS "on-the-fly".
In the ComponentSSD class we add a function that behaves similarly but uses the Mellanox specific SSD firmware upgrade tool to check if the current SSD supports being upgraded on the fly in order to decide whether to skip or perform the installation.
How to verify it
Unit tests are included with this PR. These test will run on build of target sonic-mellanox.bin
You may also perform fwutil auto-update ... commands after Azure/sonic-utilities#1242 is merged in.

Enhance the Python3 support for platform API. Originally, some platform APIs call SDK API which didn't support Python 3. Now the Python 3 APIs have been supported in SDK 4.4.3XXX, Python3 is completely supported by platform API
- How I did it
Start all platform daemons from python3
1. Remove #/usr/bin/env python at the beginning of each platform API file as the platform API won't be started as daemons but be imported from other daemons.
2. Adjust SDK API calls accordingly

Why I did it
Currently we leveraged the Supervisor to monitor the running status of critical processes in each container and it is more reliable and flexible than doing the monitoring by Monit. So we removed the functionality of monitoring the critical processes by Monit.
How I did it
I removed the script process_checker and corresponding Monit configuration entries of critical processes.
How to verify it
I verified this on the device str-7260cx3-acs-1.

#### Why I did it
According to thermalctld hld, each fan must belong to a fan drawer, if the fan drawer does not physically exist, put fan into a virtual fan drawer. This PR is to clear fan from chassis._fan_list
#### How I did it
1. Don't put fan to chassis._fan_list
2. Always query fan from fan_drawer
#### Why I did it
This pull request allows calls to be made through the platform 2.0 API that retrieve the PSU and Chassis hardware revision on Mellanox platforms. Access to these values will aid customers in determining their hardware revisions for debugging and technical support. These values are intended to be eventually exposed through the CLI.
#### How I did it
For the PSU hardware revision I used the existing VPD function calls implemented in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/7382
For the Chassis hardware revision I parsed the SMBIOS / DMI type 2 information to retrieve the information.
Originally, SFP modules were always accessed from platform daemons, and arbitrary SFP modules can be accessed in the daemon. So all SFP modules were initialized in one shot once one of the following chassis APIs called
- get_all_sfps
- get_sfp_numbers
- get_sfp
Recently, we noticed that SFP modules can also be accessed from CLI, eg. the latest refactor of `sfputil`.
In this case, only one SFP module is accessed in the chassis object's life cycle.
To initialize all SFP modules in one shot is waste of time and causes the CLI to take much more time to finish.
So we would like to optimize the initialization flow by introducing a two-phase initialization approach:
- Partial initialization, which means the `chassis._sfp_list` has been initialized with proper length and all elements being `None`
- Full initialization, which means all elements in `chassis._sfp_list` are created
If the relevant function is called,
- `get_sfp`, only partial initialization will be done, and then the specific SFP module is initialized.
- `get_all_sfps` or `get_num_sfps`, full initialization will be done, which means all SFP modules are initialized.

#### Why I did it
We want to add the ability for the command `show platform psustatus` to show the serial number and part number of the PSU devices on Mellanox platforms. This will be useful for data-center management of field replaceable units (FRUs) on switches.
#### How I did it
I implemented the platform 2.0 functions `get_model()` and `get_serial()` for the PSU in the mellanox platform API by referencing the sysfs nodes provided by the [hw-management](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/tree/master/platform/mellanox/hw-management) module.
#### Why I did it
Adopt a single way to get fan direction for all ASIC types.
It depends on hw-mgmt V.7.0010.2000.2303. Depends on https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/7419
#### How I did it
Originally, the get_direction was implemented by fetching and parsing `/var/run/hw-management/system/fan_dir` on the Spectrum-2 and the Spectrum-3 systems. It isn't supported on the Spectrum system.
Now, it is implemented by fetching `/var/run/hw-management/thermal/fanX_dir` for all the platforms.

The following error message is observed during chassis object being destroyed
"Exception ignored in: <function Chassis.__del__ at 0x7fd22165cd08>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sonic_platform/chassis.py", line 83, in __del__
ImportError: sys.meta_path is None, Python is likely shutting down
The chassis tries to import deinitialize_sdk_handle during being destroyed for the purpose of releasing the sdk_handle.
However, importing another module during shutting down can cause the error because some of the fundamental infrastructures are no longer available."
This error occurs when a chassis object is created and then destroyed in the Python shell.

The existing Fan led and Psu led object initialize itself to green color in init method. However, there are multiple daemons calls sonic platform API and there could be a case that:
A PSU is removed from system
Reboot switch
psud detects that 1 PSU is missing and set PSU led to red
Other daemon just start up and call sonic platform API, the API set PSU led to green by call PsuLed.init
This PR is a partial fix for the issue. As we also need guarantee that the led is initialized with a correct value. I checked existing psud and thermalctld code. psud always initialize the PSU led color on boot up, thermalcltd need some changes to initialize led color on the first run
